I feel I need to preach PULSE.

The latter half is essentially DSotM live with bonuses and it is a lifelong listen for me.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

I saw the Pulse tour in '94. ^Yes^ ^I^ ^do^ ^drink^ ^Metamucil^

“Hey, wanna go see Pink Floyd in Vancouver?”

“Nah, next time.”

Is my 1994 shame.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

I think I saw that show. So, nyah nyah.

[–] eestileib 1 points 8 hours ago

I had the chance to watch it in New Orleans and went to senior prom instead, like a complete idiot.

I never liked track 3. I skip straight to track 4 to save Time

Just the time signature of "Money" is a work of art. You spend most of your time listening to 4/4 or 3/4 but Money does ~~5/4~~ 7/4 apparently! in a way you don't even notice

Edit - haven't listened to it in decades but now I think about it, the comments below are correct, it's 7/4 which is even odder

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago

Some of my favorite bands using lots of odd time signatures are Rush, Tool and Soundgarden. Check them out if you like that about Pink Floyd!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 16 hours ago

You should know. Money is in 7/4 thats 7 quarter notes in a bar.

you should have a look into 'King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard'

they are extremely prolific and make use of many different odd musical techniques like wacky times sigs

[–] [email protected] 5 points 12 hours ago

I love that the odd thing you wanted to point out about Lizard is the time signatures.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 16 hours ago

Money is 7/4

[–] [email protected] 58 points 1 day ago (4 children)
  1. "Speak to Me"
  2. "Breathe (In the Air)"
  3. "On the Run"
  4. "Time"
  5. "The Great Gig in the Sky"
  6. "Money"
  7. "Us and Them"
  8. "Any Colour You Like"
  9. "Brain Damage"
  10. "Eclipse"

Let those who are without sin deny that track 5 is the life-changer.

And there it is. slow clap

What AM I supposed to notice here?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

The first two tracks are a) and b) parts of the same track on the vinyl.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Speak to me and breathe are often seen as one track. So I'm guessing time was the track they referenced here?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I feel like the whole album is just 4 tracks.

  1. "Speak to Me" &"Breathe (In the Air)" ~~2. "On the Run"~~
  2. "Time" & "The Great Gig in the Sky"
  3. "Money"
  4. "Us and Them" & "Any Colour You Like" & "Brain Damage" & "Eclipse"

It’s the only way I listen to it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

So just listen to the album. Got it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Yes, but skipping On the Run every time. Unless I’m watching Wizard of Oz or Paul Blart Mall Cop 2.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Time is by far my favorite. Took listening to it as an adult for it to click, as a kid you were there for the music. Some young adults get it the first time though, and the look on their faces when they do...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 17 hours ago

I was going to say Time plus Great Gig in the Sky has to be one of the best consecutive sets of all time.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

And then one day you find ten years have passed you by...

[–] [email protected] 12 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

No one told you when to run. You missed the starting guuunnn

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

The biggest oof.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

9 & 10 for this guy

[–] [email protected] 6 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Nah, the whole album is excellent, but track 3 was what put me on a path beyond my parents' classic rock collection and towards getting into things like Cut Chemist and J Dilla

The Great Gig is gorgeous, but On the Run changed my understanding of what music could be

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago

You ever seen the video of David Gilmore making that track with his effects thingy? It was pretty neat

[–] [email protected] 21 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

If you ever see the PF cover band Brit Floyd playing anywhere near you, I highly recommend seeing them. Brought me nearly to tears with how true to the source material it is. For those of us born too late for pink Floyd's heyday, it's damned close enough to the original.

They play the hits and knock them out of the park. The backup singer on Time was so amazing that the audience erupted into standing ovations and cheers like 3 times at the show I saw. And the laser light show was incredible, holy shit.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Smoke some weed, get some good noise cancelling headphones and put this album on start to finish. It makes for a great listen.

[–] eestileib 2 points 7 hours ago

Then Animals right after.

Dogs is so so so good.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

And watch The Wizard of Oz?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 16 hours ago

As long as you mute it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

My first mushroom trip, I had this playing. It was then that I understood.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

Hell, I listened to this album sober, and I understood.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

scared the fuck out of me the first time I heard it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Live for today. Gone tomorrow. That's me.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 17 hours ago

Live for today, gone tomorrow, back two days later.

Supply Side Jesus: Track 6

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

we used to do a lot of 'adult camping' (week long partying).. on sundays 'church' was a mix of pink floyd and the doors

preach

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

One of the weirder experiences in my life was taking a ghost tour in a haunted mansion and having this album spontaneously play in my head.
