AnyBlogDotCom: Pink Floyd album by album

[A start....]

Pink Floyd were formed in London in 1965 by four students: Waters, Mason and Wright had enrolled in 1962 at the Regent Street Polytechnic to study architecture, and played together in an adhoc band with fellow students - the band's name evolved through changes from Sigma 6 to the Tea Set. Barrett joined the Tea Set in 1964, later changing the name to Pink Floyd.

The band moved from psychedelic rock and psychedelic pop through art rock to what many consider to be prog rock, though essentially they are and have been their own band, creating their own sound and music. The band's creative force in their early days was Sid Barrett, and he remained a significant influence long after he had left the band in 1967 during the initial recording sessions for their second album. Gilmour was brought in as both a support and replacement for Barrett, and is the only personnel change until 1983's Final Cut, which was recorded without Wright who had been fired by Waters during the recording of The Wall. The subsequent three album releases would include Wright, but not Waters who had walked out of the band after Final Cut.

Wikipedia:

Pink Floyd were an English rock band formed in London in 1965. Gaining a following as a psychedelic rock group, they were distinguished for their extended compositions, sonic experimentation, philosophical lyrics and elaborate live shows, and became a leading band of the progressive rock genre. They are one of the most commercially successful and influential bands in popular music history.
Pink Floyd were founded by students Syd Barrett (guitar, lead vocals), Nick Mason (drums), Roger Waters (bass guitar, vocals), and Richard Wright (keyboards, vocals). Under Barrett's leadership, they released two charting singles and a successful debut album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967). Guitarist and vocalist David Gilmour joined in December 1967; Barrett left in April 1968 due to deteriorating mental health. Waters became the primary lyricist and thematic leader, devising the concepts behind the albums The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975), Animals (1977), The Wall (1979), and The Final Cut (1983). The band also composed several film scores.
Following personal tensions, Wright left Pink Floyd in 1979, followed by Waters in 1985. Gilmour and Mason continued as Pink Floyd, rejoined later by Wright. The three produced two more albums—A Momentary Lapse of Reason (1987) and The Division Bell (1994)—and toured both albums before entering a long period of inactivity. In 2005, all but Barrett reunited for a one-off performance at the global awareness event Live 8. Barrett died in 2006, and Wright in 2008. The last Pink Floyd studio album, The Endless River (2014), was based on unreleased material from the Division Bell recording sessions.
Pink Floyd were one of the first British psychedelia groups, and are credited with influencing genres such as progressive rock and ambient music. Four albums topped US or UK record charts; the songs "See Emily Play" (1967) and "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2" (1979) were their only top 10 singles in either territory. The band were inducted into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996 and the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005. By 2013, they had sold more than 250 million records worldwide, with The Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall two of the best-selling albums of all time.

AllMusic:

Some bands turn into shorthand for a certain sound or style, and Pink Floyd belongs among that elite group. The very name connotes something specific: an elastic, echoing, mind-bending sound that evokes the chasms of space. Pink Floyd grounded that limitless sound with exacting explorations of mundane matters of ego, mind, memory, and heart, touching upon madness, alienation, narcissism, and society on their concept albums of the '70s. Of these concept albums, Dark Side of the Moon resonated strongest, earning new audiences year after year, decade after decade, and its longevity makes sense. That 1973 album distilled the wild psychedelia of their early years -- that brief, heady period when they were fronted by Syd Barrett -- into a slow, sculpted, widescreen epic masterminded by Roger Waters, the bassist who was the band's de facto leader in the '70s. Waters fueled the band's golden years, conceiving such epics as Wish You Were Here and The Wall, but the band survived his departure in the '80s, with guitarist David Gilmour stepping to the forefront on A Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell. Throughout the years, drummer Nick Mason and keyboardist Rick Wright appeared in some capacity, and the band's sonic signature was always evident: a wide, expansive sound that was instantly recognizable as their own, yet was adopted by all manner of bands, from guitar-worshiping metalheads to freaky, hippie, ambient electronic duos. Unlike almost any of their peers, Pink Floyd played to both sides of the aisle: they were rooted in the blues but their heart belonged to the future, a dichotomy that made them a quintessentially modern 20th century band.

First recordings and releases

The Early Years 1965-1967 (2016)

The really early stuff from 1965, when they were called The Tea Set and Bob Klose was in the band, is British RnB (with a distinct Boo Didley sound), which is not surprising considering the material was written and recorded in 1964/1965, the period of Five Live Yardbirds, The Angry Young Them, My Generation, and Kinks. By 1966 Klose had left, they had changed their name to Pink Floyd, and what we hear is proper Pink Floyd.

All songs written by Barrett, except where noted.

Albums

The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (Aug 1967)

Fascinating debut. Edgy, quirky, interesting psychedelic material. Crackling guitar work. This is the most innovative, most exciting, most way out album the group ever recorded. This is pure Syd Barrett. Barrett was interested in Keith Rowe's band AMM who released their first album, AMMMusic, in 1966, and some elements of AMM appear in "Interstellar Overdrive".

Tonite Let's All Make Love in London (1967)

Full 17 minute version of "Interstellar Overdrive" for London Tonite plus the 12 minute Nick's Boogie (1966-1967)

Speak (Oct 1967)
(Soundtrack)

Soundtrack recorded for John Latham's 1962 film Speak. The film consists of a continuous series of simple colour designs (or abstract paintings), all based on a circular pattern. The music is almost random pluckings and scrapings and doodles and keyboard chords, though has a primitive ambient feel. There is the sense that the band didn't give much time to this, and Latham rejected the band's offering, preferring to continue to use the sound of circular saws, which does feel more appropriate given the circular imagery.

"Apples and Oranges" (Nov 1967)

The band mimed "Apples and Oranges" on American TV. All the band look a little awkward and shy, while Syd looks like a rock god, but also completely stressed and out of it. The American tour did not go well for Syd. The song is quirky, but not entirely successful. It reached 55 in the chart. B side was "Paint Box". The promo video shows Gilmore miming on guitar, though Barrett had played guitar on the recording, and was still officially in the band, though unreliable.

Astronomy Domine

A Saucerful of Secrets (June 1968)

During the recording of their second album the band became concerned at Barrett's increasing odd behaviour and drafted in Barrett's Cambridge friend Dave Gilmour to both support and replace him. This is the only album on which all five members appear, but they only play together on one track, "Set The Controls For The Heart of The Sun" in which Gilmour and Barrett both play minor guitar parts. Barrett only plays guitar on three tracks, and only wrote one, "Jugband Blues", which is also the only one on which he sings. It's a decent album, and "Set The Controls" is a good track, but this is not the same band, driven by Barrett, who created the weird and wonderful Piper.

More (1969)

The album consists of the music the band wrote for the film More. The band have found their feet after letting Barrett go. It's a minor album, but very good. It is sadly overlooked. It's a bit random, but there are some good songs here, and an early example of heavy metal in "The Nile Song".

Ummagumma (1969)

I recall a lot of people in the early Seventies had this album. It is a double album. The first disc is live, with two long tracks on each side. All the tracks had been previously released, though "Careful With That Axe, Eugene", had not appeared on an album - it had been the b-side of the unsuccessful single "Point Me At The Sky". The live album is the best disc. The other disc contains largely failed studio experiments by the four individual members of the band. Most people played that disc only once or twice, but somehow it got talked about a lot.

Syd Barrett

The Madcap Laughs (Jan 1970)

Barrett's debut solo album has always had the reputation of being a masterpiece, that I have never quite understood. I am a fan of the second album, but this one - especially the awful Gilmour and Waters produced tracks - sounds like stuff that should never have been released. The songs are poor, undeveloped, often simplistic and ugly (perhaps deliberately so, given Barrett's uncooperative state of mind at the time) - they lack the charm of his best songs; and the performances are heavy, clumsy, and sometimes simply downright bad.

The back cover has a photo that includes a nude woman - she is Evelyn "Iggy" Rose, Barrett's then live-in girlfriend.

Atom Heart Mother (Oct 1970)

A big selling album - another one that everyone seemed to have, but nobody played it much after the first time. Repeated listening will make it more familiar and acceptable, though hardly fascinating or exciting. The band created a long instrumental suite that filled side one. But it doesn't work. And they tried the Ummagumma idea again of everyone writing one song each for the second side, which simply results in more throwaway stuff. The most interesting and memorable track is the last one "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast", which is whimsical and throwaway, though does catch the attention; however, that's not enough to save the album. File under mostly boring.

Syd Barrett

Barrett (Nov 1970)

Barrett's second solo album had a smoother genesis, and we find here the sort of songs and performances that we hoped to find on The Madcap Laughs - songs that are light, quirky, original, amusing, poetic and charming. Perhaps not towering works of genius, but certainly inventive and sparkling. The production and performance, this time, is professional. Sadly this album gets overlooked for the more shocking and clumsy Madcap.

Relics (May 1971)

Compilation album. A useful and attractive collection of tracks from the period of the first three albums, includes some singles and b-sides that didn't appear on the albums, plus an unreleased track, so worth getting. More than just a compilation album. The tracks are very good - and the album as a whole is more attractive, powerful, and interesting than the "proper" albums released either side of it.

Meddle (Oct 1971)

This is good stuff. It consolidates what Floyd have done so far, so carries echoes of that - there's songs that could have appeared on More (1969) or Atom Heart (1970) or Saucer (1968) or even Piper (1967) and songs that project into what they will do in the future and could have appeared on Obscured (1972) or Dark Side (1973). A transitional album, but also Floyd at their best when the whole band work together, as on "Echoes" and "One Of These Days".

Obscured by Clouds (June 1972)

Another soundtrack album in the style of More (1969), but not as varied, interesting or attractive. The material is quite light, fairly conventional, and was created quickly. It is generally poorly regarded by the public, though highly regarded by some Floyd fans. The band were starting work on Dark Side, and wanted to keep their energy and creativity for that album. The soundtrack is for the film La Vallee (1972).

Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii (Sept 1972)

Film

Originally simply titled "Pink Floyd", it has since become known as "Live at Pompeii"; this is a "live" recording of Pink Floyd playing in an empty arena in Pompeii.

It's not a concert, it's just the band being filmed playing some tracks - and they sound pretty much as they do on the original albums. They are different of course, but there is little creativity added to them, and there is no audience atmosphere. This is not Bob Marley live at the Lyceum. Consider these tracks as alternative takes. Some fans like these takes more than the originals - fair does, each to their own. But not for me.

The Dark Side of the Moon (1973)

This album is in a class of its own. Totally extraordinary. This is Pink Floyd's peak, and though it is essentially based on the music ideas introduced on the first album by Syd Barret, it is also the culmination of the development of those ideas by the band over the years since Barret left, and the band needed those years to arrive at the point where they felt confident enough to deliver something as bold, rich, and balanced as this. Overall, the musical ideas and motifs in this album are not unique - many of the sounds the band themselves had tried out previously, and others were already out there, especially in the early years of the Seventies, when the album was recorded. But somehow, the sounds and ideas in this album coalesce less as an experiment in sound and musical ideas, and more as a designed achievement - each song leading to the next as part of a planned progression of an overall structure like a symphony. Though all lyrics are by Waters, the music and the structure of the album was a collaborative experience, including the contributions of engineer Alan Parsons (of the Alan Parsons Project) and vocalist Clare Torry.

Wish You Were Here (1975)

A very assured and mature album, continuing the influence of Barrett that had brought them so far, and to whom the album is clearly dedicated in "Crazy Diamond", and the title song. Dark Side marked a transition in the band, and this demonstrated what they had become and the possibility of what they could remain. However....

Animals (1977)

Gilmour, Mason and Wright were distracted or dispirited during the recording of this album, and it become dominated by Waters who does the bulk of the writing and the singing. It is a very weak album. Waters does not have an attractive singing voice, and he is limited in what he can do with it. The music retreats into plodding prog rock, and is the least interesting and forward looking of all Floyd's albums. This is 1977, but this could come from the early Seventies - there are similarities with Aqualung (1971). The only saving grace is Gilmour's guitar work, particularly on Dogs. On the whole a tedious, pretentious and fairly crappy prog rock album that is the opposite of the Floyd of Syd Barrett. This marks the start of the Roger Waters period, which is more about Rogers Waters than Pink Floyd.

The album is very popular with Floyd fans - especially those who like the later Floyd, and those who like Gilmour's guitar playing. I find it limited and somewhat boring.

David Gilmour (1978)

Gilmour's first solo album is a quiet, simple, low key affair. The guitar solos feel overdone on the rather pedestrian songs. It's all soft and pleasant, touching on folk pop with a touch of blues, and then comes an ornate out of place Floydish guitar solo. The lack of ambition AND the lack of feel here has surprised me. I thought I would like this more than Waters' debut solo, but that is not the case. I like the album, but it's not significant or memorable. "My Way" has a good vibe, there is a JJ Cale feel about this track.

The Wall (1979)

A tedious concept album in the style of Tommy (1969). Hugely popular partly due to the big success of "Another Brick In The Wall". Waters appears to have treated everyone in a really egotistic and shitty manner, refusing to officially or financially acknowledge the creative contributions of the producer, and then mocking him for it, and forcing Wright to resign from the band and play as a session musician. Other than a few tracks such as "Another Brick" and "Comfortably Numb" I find most of this album unlistenable shit.

The Final Cut (1983)

Self-indulgence to the hilt. Waters has got ideas, but also more ego than talent. The band are reduced to Waters, Gilmour and Mason, and by the end of this recording, Waters, who treats Mason and Gilmour as session musicians, leaves the band and insists that Pink Floyd are over. But Gilmour and Mason fight to keep the name, and bring back Wright, and Pink Floyd continues. For all the tension and unpleasantness, this is not a successful album. It is not a pleasant listen.

David Gilmour

About Face (March 1984)

Gilmour's second solo album, released a few weeks before Roger Waters' first solo album. The tensions that had mounted up in the band with Waters' arrogant and egocentric and bullying behaviour led to Waters flouncing off, and announcing that the band had broken up, while he got on with his solo album. Gilmour stood up to Waters, and fought him in court for the right to keep the band alive, and he brought out his solo album with it's cover image of him in a telling image which is suggestive of a hitch-hiking gesture, also a get lost gesture, and a that's in the past gesture. Waters had accused the others of not pulling their weight creatively. This is Gilmore's response - an album packed with solid songs, solidly performed. The overall impression, however, is of a decent, solid album that, despite critical praise, doesn't quite impress or excite.

Roger Waters
The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking (April 1984)

First solo album by Roger Waters, released a month after Gilmour's second solo album. A rather leaden affair musically and lyrically. It's a story album - the theme being a man dreaming of hitch-hiking incidents. In the early part he appears to be driving in Europe and has sex with a hitch-hiker. After that it gets more vague, and he appears to be both driving in America and hitch-hiking. Throughout the dream his wife is present, and by the end he is happy she is there. It's not much of a story - there's nothing here I can relate to. Some of the blurring between reality and dream, and playful use of language and images I like, and there is potential in the idea, but it never really goes anywhere. Make of it what you will. Curious how much Eric Clapton sounds like Gilmore. Did Waters ask him to sound like Gilmore, or did Clapton assume Waters wanted that (or perhaps Clapton wanted to try to sound like Gilmore, who is, after all, a decent and distinctive guitarist). Anyway, I've given it a good try, and read the lyrics, and thought about it, and feel that there is a degree of ego and arrogance about this which intrudes. Credit for the idea and the attempt, but it goes nowhere. Essentially, it doesn't work. But it's interesting. The title track is the best one - it is the only track that has any musical energy or strength.

Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd (2001)

A huge overview compilation album. It ranges from the 1967 single "Arnold Layne" to the post-Water's 1994 album, The Division Bell. The bulk of the 26 tracks are from the Sixties and Seventies, with only seven tracks from their later period. The music is presented as a continuous flow (created by engineer/producer James Guthrie), rather than chronologically, giving a feel of a proper Floyd album rather than a Best Of, and gives an impressive summary of the band's work. The collection opens with what is arguably Floyd's best song, Barrett's "Astronomy Domine", which displays the whole band at their best, and sets the scene for what is to come - all the sounds and ideas here are the DNA for everything that follows. And as it was the opening track for their debut album it seems appropriate for it to be the opening track for this summary of their entire career.

Good album.

The Endless River (2014)

Quite modern and ambient, but also very pink Floyd. These are the extended instrumental pieces that have been at the heart of Floyd since 1966. The spirit of Syd's Floyd is here, and the thin, acid burning harshness of Water's Floyd is washed away. There is a feel of Dark Side here, This is, though, not great Floyd. It's the quiet bits in between the greatness all wrapped together into one album. It works, but it's not an essential Floyd album. It was created by working on tapes of music left over from the recording of The Division Bell when Wright was still alive (he died in 2008, 12 years after the making of Division Bell). A piece from 1969, Wright playing on the Albert Hall pipe organ, is incorporated into "Autumn 69".

This will be the last ever Pink Floyd album (allegedly).

The Early Years 1965-1972 (Nov 2016)

(Box set)

Box set of assorted tracks, some live, some studio, mostly unreleased other than a few non-album singles. It's interesting rather than essential, and most of it would only appeal to hard core fans. The first volume is the very early material with Syd Barrett from The Tea Set to Barrett's departure. It consists of three discs containing Tea Set demos, early Floyd singles, some live material, some BBC sessions, and some unreleased studio recordings. A fascinating collection.

Volume 1: 1965–1967: Cambridge St/ation
Volume 2: 1968: Germin/ation
Volume 3: 1969: Dramatis/ation
Volume 4: 1970: Devi/ation

Summary

Voice/Musicianship (15)
There's no great singer in Floyd - they manage to get by, and Gilmour and Barrett sound OK, Waters less so; they are decent musicians, competent rather than interesting - Waters is an efficient bassist, while Gilmour is a fluid and reasonably attractive guitarist who is somewhat admired [10]
Image/Star quality (10)
As individuals they are not rock stars - Barrett was, but the rest of the band come across as accountants (or architects); however, as a band they have a special something due to their uniqueness, their bold creative approach, the sober, intellectual, and serious nature of their approach to the music, and their extraordinary success and reputation [9]
Lyrics/Music (20)
Lyrics are not their strong point, though somehow the words work, especially on Dark Side; but the musical structures are stunning. [18]
Impact/Influence (10)
They have always attracted and held attention, and while there are no bands one can point to as being directly influenced by Floyd, their influence is there (especially Barrett's) [8]
Popularity (5)
One of the best selling artists of all time [5]
Emotional appeal (5)
For a band made up of architecture students who preferred jazz and classic music to blues and rock, they can at sublime moments, especially Dark Side, touch the soul [4]
Authenticity (25)
They always followed their own path, come what may. This was never a band led by commercial or popular appeal, or following the latest chart hitting trend. Full marks. [25]
Legacy (10)
They are giants in the music world, and always will be [10]
