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 and cinema/IMAX screenings, and a book, 2Blu-ray, 3DVD, 4LP, 2CD and deluxe box set options have now been announced.

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 "Stoners" movie European premiere Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Monday, 10 January 2005

The Pink Floyd scored movie "Stoners" finally gets its European Premiere next month, when Sci-Fi London4, the International Festival of Science Fiction and Fantastic Film airs the film on Thursday February 3rd.

The Canadian production represents the first time Pink Floyd has provided an entire album from their anthology for a film since their 1982 cult classic, The Wall. The soundtrack for Stoners comes entirely from The Division Bell, and the band has provided music rights for the worldwide festival circuit.

This experimental documentary uncovers the secretive world of “The Stone”, an enigmatic puzzle Internet game launched in 1998. The 46-minute film chronicles the lives and adventures of the players, known affectionately within the game as “stoners”, and sheds light on the Floyd-inspired connections within the mystery.

‘Stoners’ represents a unique approach to the genre, as the documentary itself is part puzzle and leaves the audience with a sense of how mystery is built into the fabric of every Stoner’s life.

“When working on anything called ‘Stoners’ you need to be ready for surprising things that will happen to your project,” claims Rod Bruinooge, an Aboriginal filmmaker who co-directed Stoners with fellow Winnipeg filmmaker & cinematographer Scott Jaworski, and who has been in contact with us at Brain Damage.

“Needless to say we were very pleased when Pink Floyd provided us with The Division Bell as they are historically very cautious with their catalog.”

The film uses an observational style without narration, switching between scenic locales in New York, Stonehenge, London, England and Canada. Lighter moments in the film show Bruinooge interacting with hard-core Stoners at player-held gatherings.

The screening is being held at the Odeon Panton Street, at 6pm. The cinema is located just off Piccadilly Circus/Haymarket in the heart of London's theatre district, and specialises in "art house" or independent movies.

Our thanks to Rod for the info; we hope to be able to bring you a review of the movie very soon.
