Pink Floyd podcast series coming Nov. 25

Posted November 22, 2019 by Floydian Slip

BBC Radio 6 Music’s Matt Everitt will speak with David Gilmour during a four-part podcast series to promote “The Later Years” box-set coming in December.

“The Lost Art of Conversation” will premiere Monday, Nov. 25, on all podcast platforms. Remaining episodes will appear the three following Mondays.

Each episode will focus on a particular theme:

The studio
The band’s return to jamming in the recording studio and embracing new technology when faced with new advances in synthesizers and other instruments.

Artwork
Gilmour explains his ideas for the band’s artwork including how his sketch of a single, empty bed was transformed by Storm Thorgerson into the image of 500 beds for the cover of 1987’s “A Momentary Lapse of Reason.”

Live performances
How the band prepared for the prospect of an upcoming tour, and the enormous pressure facing them while rehearsing in a massive aircraft hangar in Toronto.

Unreleased new material from the box-set
Gilmour talks about the loads of new and rare material included in “The Later Years.” His memories are jogged by watching footage of the band flying over Miami Beach, watching swimmers surrounded by sharks.

The band is billing this podcast as Gilmour’s only interview surrounding the launch of the 16-disc box that focuses on post-Roger Waters era Floyd.

Read more about “The Later Years,” which is coming Dec. 13.

Two new books from Gerald Scarfe

Posted November 3, 2019 by Floydian Slip

Little, Brown Book Group Ltd. is publishing two new titles by illustrator Gerald Scarfe, best known to Pink Floyd fans for his work on “The Wall.”

“Long Drawn Out Trip” was released in September. It’s a 320-page memoir of the artist’s life the publisher describes as “a very personal, wickedly funny and caustically insightful account of an artist’s life at the forefront of contemporary culture and society.”

The more substantial “Scarfe: 60 Years of Being Rude” will be published Nov. 9 in three editions: A £1,200 limited “Artist’s Edition”; a £500 limited “Deluxe Edition”; and an unlimited standard edition for £150.

The artist’s edition is limited to 26 copies signed and lettered A-Z, presented in a cloth-covered, soft-lined presentation box with design elements by Scarfe. It includes a limited edition print signed by the artist, and an exclusive original drawing on high-quality cartridge paper.

Edition ‘A’ is being auctioned off as part of the sale of Scarfe’s artwork at Sotheby’s this month. The auction will benefit Parkinson’s UK.

The deluxe edition is limited to 200 numbered copies, and features a cloth-covered, soft-lined presentation box with design elements by Scarfe and includes a limited edition print signed by the artist.

The special editions of “Scarfe: 60 Years of Being Rude” are available for purchase at www.scarfebook.com. The standard edition and “Long Drawn Out Trip” are available for purchase from online and bricks-and-mortar stores everywhere.

“One Slip” remix, Live 8 performance released

Posted October 25, 2019 by Floydian Slip

Pink Floyd has released another preview of its Nov. 29 box-set “The Later Years.”

Today the group made available on digital and streaming platforms a new mix of “One Slip” from 1987’s “A Momentary Lapse of Reason.”

The new version features original Floyd drummer Nick Mason replacing the track’s existing percussion work, which was performed by studio musician Jim Keltner. The new track also has additional keyboard work from the late Rick Wright.

“By returning to some of Richard Wright’s keyboard parts and recording new drum tracks with Nick Mason, producers David Gilmour and Bob Ezrin have restored the creative balance between the three Pink Floyd members,” the group says in a press release.

The new mix of “A Momentary Lapse of Reason” will appear for the first time in 5.1 Surround Sound, remixed by Gilmour and Andy Jackson, on “The Later Years.”

A few days ago the band posted videos of its reunion performance at 2005’s Live 8. Those clips can be found on Floyd’s YouTube channel, but, oddly, will not be part of the upcoming boxset.
