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!

Pink Floyd scored "Committee" DVD release details Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Wednesday, 20 July 2005

Further to our previous news stories about the obscure Pink Floyd-scored movie, The Committee, we now have full details and a review of the long-awaited DVD release for you.

The film was originally released back in 1968, and has been unavailable since. Snippets of the Floyd score have appeared but the film itself never has - except maybe in one or two private collections. The wait is now over though, as it becomes available this month worldwide.

The film itself is in black and white, and runs for 55 minutes. The DVD includes an interview by Oscar winning director Jon Blair with Max Steuer (writer and producer) and Peter Sykes (director) that lasts for 50 minutes, and the package also includes a CD of the song The Committee (Jones/Steuer) arranged by Tim Whitehead for the Homemade Orchestra, plus two tracks from earlier Homemade Orchestra CDs.

The Committee uses a surreal murder to explore the tension and conflict between bureaucracy on one side, and individual freedom on the other. Both the style and the content of this film capture the feel of the sixties.

The musical score, written and performed by the Pink Floyd, whilst brief, is reckoned to be some of the most intellectual music the Pink Floyd have produced, according to music writer David King (who reviewed The Committee for Brain Damage). This is music that was never released elsewhere, adding to the intrigue and demand for the film.

Our review of the DVD is in the appropriate part of the review section of this site. The DVD (which is in NTSC format, with no region coding), can be ordered using our special links at Amazon.com (USA/International), Amazon Canada, Amazon UK/Elsewhere, and Amazon Germany. It can also be obtained through www.JazzCDs.co.uk for the UK and Europe.
