Pink Floyd 1968WOW - it's now the 27th YEAR of Brain Damage, your Pink Floyd, David Gilmour, Nick Mason, Syd Barrett, Richard Wright and Roger Waters news resource!

Marking the 50th anniversary of Pink Floyd's iconic 1975 album, a range of Wish You Were Here 50 celebratory editions: deluxe box set, blu-ray, 3LP set, 2CD set and coloured vinyl single LPs came out at the end of last year. Full details here. The LA 1975 concert, recorded by Mike Millard and remastered by Steven Wilson, came out as a standalone item on 4LP for Record Store Day, and 2CD across most of the world.

The stunningly restored and remixed Pink Floyd At Pompeii MCMLXXII on Blu-ray, 2CD, 2LP, DVD, and digital was also released in 2025 - and is NOT to be missed. As is the 4K UltraHD edition out now!

Also last year, celebrating the concerts to coincide with David Gilmour's album, Luck and Strange, cinema/IMAX screenings, and a book, 2Blu-ray, 3DVD, 4LP, 2CD and deluxe box set options were also released and are getting very high praise.

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 their 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 much longer 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! Before all that though is the release of Roger Waters This Is Not A Drill Live In Prague on 4LP vinyl, Blu-ray, DVD, 2CD and digital which is out now.

David Gilmour on new Alan Parsons album - preview some songs Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Tuesday, 10 August 2004

Further to our previous news stories concerning the release of Alan Parsons' new album "A Valid Path" on August 24th, which includes the guitar playing of Pink Floyd's David Gilmour, we've spent some time with the album so that we can let you know what we think of it. Be sure to check out our review (it can be found in our Reviews section).

"A Valid Path", on Artemis Records, is Parsons' first record in five years, and has him leaping into the world of electronica music, tempered with soaring guitar solos, provided in part by Gilmour.

Artemis have made two tracks available online for you to preview - click the following RealMedia links to hear for yourself:

More Lost Without You
We Play The Game

For fans of Alan Parsons, there is a chance to hear the album live, in a very unusual venue... Alan will lead his Alan Parsons Live Project band in a special concert on the 2004 Home Theater Cruise aboard Royal Caribbean's new flagship Voyager Class ship, the Mariner Of The Seas on the Friday night of the seven-day cruise to the Western Caribbean (October 24th to 31st)! Alan will also take part in a day of personal demos conducted by all the famous recording engineers signed onto this year's cruise, including Frank Filipetti, Michael Bishop, Mike Sokol, Gary Mraz, Brant Biles, and Eric Lindemann. He will be reflecting on his recent recorded work in 5.1 surround sound, including On Air (DTS Entertainment) and his new upcoming release, A Valid Path (to be released at a later date by 5.1 Entertainment on DVD-A format).

More information on this event and the cruise can be found at www.hometheatercruise.com.

Parsons, one of the most well-known engineers and producers, worked on classic albums like Let It Be, Abbey Road, and Dark Side of the Moon, for which he earned one of his ten Grammy nominations. He emerged in 1976 as the artist behind his own group, The Alan Parsons Project, which has had its own successes over the years.

Pre-orders for the album are currently being taken through our links at Amazon across the world.
