Faceplams: Things have changed tremendously from then to now with regard to that kind of stuff, and I think with the Immersion sets they themselves have changed their tune on that.

If Roger's The Wall demo tapes are release worthy, then I don't know what isn't.

I'm just hoping for more live stuff. They are incredibly under-represented as far as live albums, compared to some other bands of their generation. My pipe-dream is they manage to put together something of better quality than the Oakland show to represent the Animals tour. More realistically I'm hoping for a spiffed up version of the John Peel sessions they did in '70 and '71, which you can find online in rather good shape now but I think mixed professionally it could even shine more.

That cover looks awesome. Totally a Floydian cover. I hope Roger Waters at least gets a thank you mention.

Super excited. Would be more so if there was an accompanying tour...

I didn't like the cover... looks like Christian propaganda or some corny version of the ideas done on "Shine On" or "A momentary Lapse of Reason".
Still it's a new album by Pink Floyd, i'll be happy even if it's just a burned cd wrapped un cellophane...

I prefer the graphics.

Is the cover a Storm Thorgerson/Hipgnosis piece? does anyone know?
bastard from blue city
nope, Storm just passed away. it's an artist unrelated to Hipgnosis.

Actually, Aubrey Powell of Hipgnosis is involved in the artwork.
Active Member
He is, but the cover is from 18-year old Ahmed Emad Eldin.
Matador de Froot Loops
Wow, yeah, just reading his Wikipedia entry, he passed away last year, i had no idea, may he rest in peace...Originally Posted by seasonsinthesky
So i guess you can say there's an Hipgnosis involvement...
Makes sense since the idea is "Hipnosis-esque", yet it looks from someone new...

Shit cover. Hope the music's better.

Gilmour's got a bit of a Steve Zissou thing going.

He needs the hat...

wow, that is an atrocious album cover.

I prefer to think of it as a little humorous. "No Waters".
tempus est umbra in mente
well, the preview clip is out... sounds sorta bland (post Waters PF), cool ending bit though.
Considering that the album was assembled from Division Bell outtakes, I guess it'd be kind of silly to assume that it wouldn't sound like The Division Bell.

Is that Gabriel Byrne?

Here's the preview clip, with those awesome graphics I alluded to earlier.

The first clip, I like, but this one:
Sounds like fucking music made for a commercial. Awful.
Active Member
Maybe because it's as long as one?

This album's biggest problem is that it is promoted as one. They should've just put this music as a Division Bell deluxe reissue bonus CD and everyone would be happy.
Active Member
I can't disagree with that, and I think that's how it would have ended up were it not for Gilmour and Mason wanting to add on new parts and feeling as strongly that this should be a statement of it's own. But I deeply trust their judgment on that, more than I will any of the idiots (present company excluded, of course) immediately dismissing it because Waters isn't on it, or that it's all instrumental, or blah blah blah.

The biggest problem is that they've released just samples, instead of a full song or piece of music.
God is an American
The BIGGEST problem is those samples aren't even tantalizing or memorable in any way.
