Today we have some more new music from respected guitarist Chester Kamen. We know that a good number of you have been enjoying these songs. 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. Last October, he shared his 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. Since then we’ve seen the first songs on the second side of the album: Brand New Day, Swimming, I’d Love To Turn You, Lover’s Lane, Come The Revolution, Child Of The Damned, Stories, and The Wife Of The Spy Who Came In From The Cold. The new song from Chester is called Coat Of Many Colours, and takes a departure in style from some of the other recent songs. Chester told us that he’s “been busy rehearsing and gigging with my rock and roll band The Loves. This [new] song relates to the fall from grace, or maybe demise, of a hero or love once held in the highest esteem. It’s a little darker than some of the others⦠I couldnât find a nun to sing the nunâs part so had to [use my wife Sarah] who did a great job. I played all the instruments though to be fair, there arenât that many.” We’ll update you as he progresses with the rest of the album, as we know from feedback we’ve had that the songs are proving very popular.

Blinking PULSE due for 2 Blu-ray and 2 DVD deluxe box set release
On February 18th, 2022, the Restored and Re-Edited version of Pink Floyd’s P.U.L.S.E. concert film (shot on 20th October 1994 at London’s Earls Court) is set to be released as a 2 Blu-ray or 2 DVD deluxe box set, with the return of the flashing LED on the spine (as seen on the original 1995 CD release) powered by replaceable AA batteries! These deluxe packages include music videos, screen films, documentaries, rehearsal footage and more, along with a 60 page booklet. On Pink Floyd’s social channels, they mention that, in an interview from 1995 with Mojo Magazine, Nick Mason talked about the flashing LED. “Essentially, it’s a device which we thought was entertaining. It’s an idea of Storm Thorgerson’s which related to Dark Side and the pulse, and it’s a live album so the box is “alive”. After that, in terms of seriously deep meanings, one might be struggling a bit.” The original flashing LED package is much loved by the fans, and the initial announcement video leads with the blink of the light. The new box sets will be designed for easy replacement of the 2 AA batteries; the UK release in 1995 was powered by one AA, but the packaging wasn’t designed in such a way that it was easy to change without some damage, albeit internally, to the sleeve. This time there shouldn’t be the same problem! TRACK LISTING:

Los Angeles staging of Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains delayed
Some important, breaking news regarding the latest staging of The Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains, which we hope that any of you who already have tickets, aren’t inconvenienced by the change, noted below, too much. The exhibition, being held at the Vogue Multicultural Museum in Los Angeles, was due to open on August 3rd (just over a week’s time) but has been unavoidably delayed, with the new start date noted as September 3rd, 2021. The exhibition will run until January 9th, 2022 at this Hollywood Boulevard location. In the announcement about the delay, they note that “the many containers filled with Pink Floyd’s artefacts, stage sets, and private collections were shipped from the UK with an extensive lead time but coming out of the pandemic, there are many delays in global freight. These containers have now safely arrived in LA. “Existing ticket holders for August will be notified via email about how to reschedule their dates at no additional cost. Ticket holders may contact the Vogue Multicultural Museum at info@vmmla.com with questions about the ticket exchange process. “The Exhibition teams would like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding.” You can buy tickets for the exhibition, and get more details, at VMMLA.com (https://www.vmmla.com). Admission prices range from $30 to $46 (plus applicable fees), and the audioguide is included in the price. Those who have been to previous stagings of the exhibition will know how good the audioguide is – an essential part of the incredible experience!
