New website offers academic approach to post-1983 Pink Floyd

PubliusEnigma.co.uk (https://www.publiusenigma.co.uk/) – is focused on Pink Floyd’s post-1983 activity, with an “additional focus on, and an expansive view of, the studio and touring musicians associated with them.” Ed notes that “The idea is to provide a resource that spans Pink Floyd’s ‘David Gilmour era’, from the departure of Roger Waters through today. This period set the stage for the longest era in the band’s history and for each band member’s most prolific work outside the band itself.” To coincide with the launch of the site, there are new interviews with The McBroom Sisters (Pink Floyd backing vocalists), Bjørn Riis (vocalist and guitarist for Norwegian band Airbag and publisher of Gimourish.com), Scott Page (Pink Floyd saxophonist and rhythm guitar player), and with Jon Carin (of Pink Floyd, Roger Waters, and David Gilmour) in a piece titled A History and Anatomy of Yet Another Movie. With photography by Marie Lopez and artwork by Ahmed Emad Eldin, designer of the album cover for Pink Floyd’s The Endless River, the site is well worth visiting, at PubliusEnigma.co.uk (https://www.publiusenigma.co.uk/), and we wish Ed all the very best with it!

Another new song from Gilmour, Waters guitarist Chester Kamen

We recently told you about some new music from respected guitarist Chester Kamen (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/latest/new-music-from-gilmour-waters-guitarist-chester-kamen.html). Amongst many other artists, Chester has toured with Roger Waters, joining his band in 2002 and playing on subsequent tours, and with David Gilmour on his 2016 Rattle That Lock tour. He first played with David back in 1985 during the Live Aid show – David and Chester were both part of Bryan Ferry’s band for that show (as was Jon Carin). Chester has, like many musicians, kept himself busy whilst lockdowns and restrictions due to Covid-19 have called a halt to many things – in particular, live performance. In October, he shared his recently finished new piece of music called Take This, that runs for over 23 minutes. Chester told us that Take This is the first side of an album he is currently working on – following, or inspired by, the old Floyd blueprint of one long piece and several songs on the flip side. Last month saw the first of the songs on the second side of the album: Brand New Day. Chester has now uploaded the next track on the album to YouTube. It’s called Swimming and features an appearance on bass by Felix Howard, who is Roy Harper’s son. Chester tells us that “this one is a bit darker, reflecting my state of mind at that time.” We’ll update you as he progresses with the rest of the album, as we know that a good number of you are enjoying the songs revealed so far!
