Pink FLoyd - The Endless River

I disagree. Future generations for the most part won't give a toss about music released in the 70s. Nor should they. They'll be listening to the stuff that's new and relevant for their time and that has an immediacy that speaks to them. So... I hope this stuff comes out soon, before I'm too old to give a toss meself  <span style="font-size: 11.8181819915771px; line-height: 15.27272605896px;"></span><strong style="font-size: 11.8181819915771px; line-height: 15.27272605896px;"><span style="font-size: 11.8181819915771px; line-height: 15.27272605896px;"></span> If they shouldn't give a toss about it then neither should any of us now.  But we do, and they will.  What's the difference?

The difference is that I want to be able to hear and enjoy those new releases, if I'm dead, I won't care about them.

Grumpy old man alert no. 2!! Why didn't Floyd include this with the Division Bell box set reissue as this is an outtake called The Big Splif ??

That would have been awesome! (on vinyl of course)

I've never been a fan of "The Division Bell", so I doubt I'll like the leftover/unused material very much, but either way it'll be great for them to bring out another album. It's a lot better than nothing though, and I'm looking forward to it

I was just thinking a bit about what's been revealed from this album, and I feel there's a wasted oportunity I wish that had come to pass. I think Gilmour should have got the collaboration of Steven Wilson on the production, mixing, or whatever he could have helped. Surely Wilson would have been honored, and given how much and well he worked ambient and largely instrumental music with early Porcupine Tree, I would think he could have really contributed nicely to the album.

Oh, thanks. I wasn't aware that the link didn't work.

^Great idea. Especially with Animals, which always sounded stale to me no matter who remastered it.

Keeping Andy in the mix I think he understands what Pink Floyd wants the final outcome to sound like....He is a two-time Grammy nominee for engineering on Division Bell and Momentary Lapse of Reason.   What might be interesting is having SW remix other Pink Floyd albums like Animals, Meddle, AHM...

Perhaps it would be even better if Steven Wilson were to remix Ummagumma

I have the VHS of the Venice gig.....
.........I thought it was more 'intimate' and realistic, when compared to the Delicate Sound extravaganza.
I also have some video footage of a Japan gig around the time of David's first solo album. Pretty cool stuff for sure.
I am looking forward to 'The Endless River' like you wouldn't believe. I'm certain it will garner quite high praise.......
