Not only did you just mirror my own personal thoughts on the Floyd/Geesin connection, but you did so from a wonderfully insightful perspective as well: a true fan of music itself and what it is able to achieve at times. I have a huge workload in front of me currently, which makes me use up all my spare time on filling out forms and writing lord knows how many observations down, which means I have little or zero time to spend on my favourite thing: music and talking to likeminded spirits, but when I just now, by coincidence, stumbled over your post, I just thought you deserved your own special shout out from a true fan of yours. This is David from Denmark acknowledging a fellow lover of music. Here's to you man, you just made my evening!

Have you seen/heard Live in Pompeii? For me it's the quintesential early Floyd recording, and I find it just about perfect.

Dellinger wrote: I do like Momentary Lapse quiet a bit... but I like more The Division Bell, for me it's just about perfect and beautiful, just about as good (though somewhat different) as their 70's masterpieces. Besides Division Bell, my favourite Floyd albums are Wish you Were Here, Animals, and Live at Pompeii, then Dark Side, then The Wall... though ofcourse, they have many gems of songs in most of their albums. Including some of their solo efforts.

Well, Ummagumma is worth it mainly for the live album. And as I said before, Live at Pompeii is just great. Perhaps, just perhaps, you might enjoy those...

And that film brings it all to simply another level I'm not crazy about the extra space stuff they added into the "Director's Cut", which is the version most commonly available now.  But otherwise, one of my favorite music films, if not my absolute favorite.

The DVD that I have is the Direcor's Cut (I'm not sure if there is any other version available), and indeed all the "interviews" or whatever that is added between songs destroys the flow of the music. However, it does include the original film in the extras, only the music from beginning to end, and after the first time that I saw the directors cut, every other time I've seen the original one, much better way of enjoying the film.

i dunno i dig all the clips of the band, it's the cheesy space animations that i could do without

What I don't like is the break in the music. Between each track having some conversation of the band and so on, it just kind of breaks the magic, and makes it less interesting in a musical point of view.
