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.

Geesin & Waters collaborate on new soundtrack Print E-mail

retrospekt

Recently, Dan Geesin set off with Harry Waters to make some new music, nearly 50 years after their fathers, Ron Geesin and Roger Waters, collaborated on Pink Floyd's 'Atom Heart Mother' and on the album 'Music From The Body' (1970). This brand new and bizarre pop-opera music can be heard in the feature film Retrospekt (right), which will receive its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival 2018.

Artist Dan Geesin has always made his music and sound design for Dutch director Esther Rots' award winning films. He develops his sound work on a parallel path, never reading the film script. "Esther and I use the same stuff but we make our work in different ways. Our perspectives always intersect in the film."

Because one of Dan's favourite albums is Music From The Body, Dan decided to see if there was something in the blood and asked Harry Waters to collaborate on the orchestration of his songs. "Music From The Body is a brilliant music and sound work, saturated with melancholy and humour."

After Harry and Dan worked for nine months on the orchestra sound via the Internet, Harry flew to Amsterdam in February 2018 and they recorded everything with an orchestral ensemble and singers from the National Opera. "I think we brought the best out of each other. This is not what Harry makes with his band and it’s not what I have made before as a singer songwriter: it is oddly different and people like the uniqueness."

Retrospekt (the album) will be released as a download and on vinyl in December 2018. Listen to 3 of the 19 tracks through this link.
