Brain Damage and A Fleeting Glimpse

Pink Floyd 1968WELCOME 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?!

The stunningly restored and remixed Pink Floyd At Pompeii MCMLXXII on Blu-ray, 2CD, 2LP, DVD, digital and cinema screenings are now here - with some more cinema screenings in selected places. However you experience it, it is 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! 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 on August 1st!

New PP Arnold album and tour coming up Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Tuesday, 03 April 2007

pp arnoldThe legend that is PP Arnold is set to release a new, ten-track album in the late summer of 2007, to be accompanied by a tour. PP is much loved amongst Pink Floyd fans for her stunning vocal performances, and is currently on the road with Roger Waters on his Dark Side Of The Moon tour.

The album, 'Five In The Afternoon', is an album of duets, undertaken with Dr Robert, The Blow Monkeys main man, and takes its name from the poem "Lament For Ignacio Sanchez Mejias", by Spanish poet laureate Federico Garcia Lorca.

This is the first time the two artists have worked together, although neither is new to collaboration: PP Arnold having famously appeared with Ike and Tina Turner, The Small Faces, Nick Drake, Primal Scream and the aforementioned Roger Waters to name but a few; and Robert having previously sung with Curtis Mayfield, Paul Weller, Cheb Khaled and Kym Maselle.

"I met Pat at a party up here in the mountains," says Robert. "We jammed a bit and it just clicked and I knew we had to work together. The songs came really quickly - Pat has a timeless voice. Total Soul. And I had to give her "real songs" to sing. She's 'A' list, no bullshit, and it has been a real honour to work with her."

The album has an earthy quality, and was recorded virtually live with very few overdubs. "With [musicians on the album] this good and Pat singing, it would have been a crime to do it any other way. Sometimes the feeling was so good that you forgot you were recording and just drifted away with the music."

To whet the appetite, you can hear one of the tracks from the album (Satellite) here...
