Brain Damage and A Fleeting Glimpse

Pink Floyd 1987WELCOME TO THE 26th YEAR OF BRAIN DAMAGE, YOUR PINK FLOYD, DAVID GILMOUR, NICK MASON, SYD BARRETT, RICHARD WRIGHT AND ROGER WATERS NEWS RESOURCE!

It's 2025! This year sees the 50th anniversary of Wish You Were Here, which is an incredible thought; where does the time go?!

We now know that Pink Floyd At Pompeii MCMLXXII on Blu-ray, 2CD, 2LP, DVD, digital and cinema screenings are on their way, with the releases on May 2nd, and the cinema screenings shortly before. NOT to be missed!

There's also been three Record Store Day releases released on April 12th, from David Gilmour, Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets, and Roger Waters which are also definitely worth tracking down, either in a participating store, or online, now that RSD has finished.

Last year, David Gilmour's superb new album, Luck and Strange, was released in a variety of formats, and a selection of coloured vinyls. A limited number of concert dates thrilled crowds in Brighton and London, England, Rome, Italy, and Los Angeles and New York, USA. Rome shows were filmed for release at some point...watch this space!

The Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets 2024 Set The Controls tour revealed a band in even better form than the 2022/23 shows which managed to exceed everyone's hopes and expectations! Our sincerest hopes are that they continue, but in the meantime, there's the RSD release, and the earlier live recording from London's Roundhouse on Blu-ray, DVD/2CD, and 2LP which is really excellent.

Of course, Roger Waters read three extracts from his memoirs in October 2023 at the London Palladium, so it might not be too long before that is published...he's also working on his new album based around The Bar - we'll let you know as soon as we get all the info!

Dance music fans get "Proper Education" Print E-mail
Written by Matt

Bringing real music to the dance world, Swedish house DJ Eric Prydz has sampled Pink Floyd's classic “Another Brick In The Wall” for his forthcoming dance record “Proper Education.”

The single, which has already appeared on BBC Radio 1's playlist despite it being seven weeks until release, is his follow up to the 2004 chart topper “Call On Me.” and promises to repeat the success of the Floyd's own release of the track, the last UK number one of the 1970s, and the first of the 1980s.

 

Eric PrydzMany will remember Prydz's last single for its imaginative sampling of Steve Winwood's "Valerie", but most will be unable to forget the promotional video for the song. In case you need reminding, it featured an aerobics class, and VERY small costumes! Overall, it sold some two million copies worldwide.

"Proper Education" blends key elements of the 1979 track, principally David Gilmour's vocals, the kids chorus (way back in the mix) and guitar work, all of which has been officially cleared. Having heard a number of different mixes of the track, we've been impressed with the treatment, which is intelligent and sensitive. A driving bass line propels the music along nicely, and we're sure it's going to be a big hit all over again. Dying to see how the promo video for it, too!

The single hits the stores on January 1st on Data Records through the Ministry Of Sound label. You can hear a taster of the track over at MinistryOfSound.com.
