Guy Pratt from the touring Floyd band and Ged Lynch from Robert Plant's band. Should be very interesting...

I would prefer the uncompressed SACD myself, but it does seem something that even Sony is moving away from. Where did you find the information on this?

That's why it's DTS..... DESCRIPTION: This film goes inside and behind WISH YOU WERE HERE, Pink Floyd's 1975 follow-up album to the monstrously successful DARK SIDE OF THE MOON, and shows the band's artistic progression after the sound and fury of sudden superstardom. The album--in particular the song "Shine On You Crazy Diamond"--was a tribute to their lost leader, Syd Barrett (who famously burnt out in an LSD-induced nervous breakdown). This release features footage of Pink Floyd on tour for the album, and also uses interviews and critical analysis to better understand this crucial moment in the band's history. ::::::: No disrespect to Axiom, but my favorite woofer is my yellow lab :::::::

Not saying it is necessarily wrong, just in question. From what I have read, and what seems to be something of a consensus among headshrinkers who have been interviewed, is that Syd most likely had bipolar or schizophrenic tendencies and the massive amounts of psychedelic drugs he was ingesting merely accelerated the symptoms. Sounds reasonable. The fact is nobody really knows. I don't think he ever went in for real treatment and he never speaks publicly. "That's some catch, that Catch-22." "It's the best there is."

I believe that is an Armonica. Allegedly it was invented by Ben Franklin, and is considered the first instrument invented in the US. The Armonica was "lost" for many decades until one was finally successfully recreated in 1982 (after Corning Glass and MIT failed to do so in the 1950s). I have never heard them, but the Glass Orchestra of Canada performs on custom glass instruments, and still performs in Toronto. Rich (Mr. Uselss Trivia)

As far as the WYWH SACD, it isn't out and all news of it has vanished, except for the blurb about it from last July at http://www.brain-damage.co.uk/. I'm guessing that it has taken a backseat to the long awaited pulse release, which now seems official for September. Amazon's preorder price for $16 seems pretty good. Maybe after that, but who knows? -Dave M80s VP150 QS8s EP500s ravenmanor.com/cinema/

I ordered it on 3/1, it wasnt supposed to be released until 3/6 which was the day I recieved it. Cant figure out why they were apologetic about things. LIFE IS SHORT. DON'T BE A DICK.

It's pretty good, although very mellow. It's great for a quiet night at home with the Axioms. I listen to most CDs with in 2-Channel analog direct bypass, but this one I like with the full setup running under the Logic7 mode. It gives it great ambiance, especially for the beginning of the album. I bought the CD at Best Buy on sale and was surprised it came with a bonus disc containing a single additional track, "Island Jam". A nice slow blues jam that I think should have made it onto the album. -Dave M80s VP150 QS8s EP500s ravenmanor.com/cinema/

Although he covers mostly old Pink Floyd tunes, he also does some of his own stuff that is a tad bit more mellow. In the "extras" he does a version of "Dimming Of The Day" that is fantastic. Edit.. Just looked and Dimming of the Day is in the main song line up. I was thinking of an Elvis tune "Don't" that is in the extras. He doe s both songs VERY well. Last edited by bray; 03/28/06 12:46 PM.

Indeed, they will likely finish a new CD this year. On a VH1 Classic special promoting their concert DVD R30, Geddy and Alex talked about going into the studio soon, aiming for a fall release. Neil did not participate in the interview but was, of course, discussed. It will be nice to get a new studio CD from them after so many live albums lately. Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica.

Who else thought the cd packaging was very classy? Seems a lot of thought went into every aspect of the album, including the packing it comes in.

I don't know if mine was cut a little too large, but it's a bitch and half to get it back on there.

It really needs to be pressed down from directly above. If you do that, it seems to work very well.
