You might recall that last year, we brought you something a little different – a BD visitor had been in touch with details of a documentary he had put together on Pink Floyd’s 1970 album, Atom Heart Mother. Lee then followed up with another documentary, this time looking at Animals. He’s been busy again, and now takes a detailed look at 1972’s album, Obscured By Clouds. As with the previous documentaries, he treads some slightly different ground, and it is an interesting watch, with some interesting footage and pictures throughout:

Early ’70s live Pink Floyd recordings released
In a surprise move, with no official announcement or fanfare, a dozen recordings of Pink Floyd live during the years 1970 – 1972 have quietly been released to the various streaming services. Whilst the sound quality in places leaves a little to be desired, much of it sounds great, and more importantly the recordings document a wonderful period of the band in concert. They find the band in fine form, having honed their craft so that many of the pieces performed enjoyed some extended improvisation and exploration. With one of the recordings coming from March 1972, there’s also an early rendition of The Dark Side Of The Moon. As many of you will know, that was an album which changed quite considerably from its initial outings, so an interesting one to listen to if you haven’t yet heard it. The full list of albums the band released as part of their surprise drop is as follows: They Came In Peace, Leeds University 28 February 1970 Washington University 16 November 1971
Live At Grosser Saal, Musikhalle, Hamburg, West Germany 25 February 1971
Mauerspechte, Berlin Sportpalast 5 June 1971
Lyon Tokyo, Lyon 12 June 1971, Tokyo 16 March 1972
Palaeur Rome 20 June 1971
Amsterdamse Bos Free Concert 26 June 1971

The Restored. Re-Edited. Remixed. Delicate Sound of Thunder being released
Those of you fortunate enough to have the Floyd’s Later Years box set will already know just how good the 2020 version (Restored. Re-Edited. Remixed.) of Delicate Sound of Thunder is. This was a result of going directly to the more than 100 cans of original 35mm negatives, painstakingly restoring and transferring the footage to 4K. It was then completely re-edited by Benny Trickett under the creative direction of Aubrey Powell/Hipgnosis. Similarly, the sound was completely remixed from the original multitrack tapes by longtime Floyd engineer Andy Jackson with David Gilmour, assisted by Damon Iddins. Suffice it to say that in the home setting, the quality is quite incredible and the new edit is great! The visual softness of the original VHS release is long gone, thank goodness, and this is as sharp and detailed as you could ever want, with vibrant colours, really showing off the visual aspect of the presentation. Those who HAVEN’T got the box set, get ready for November 20th, 2020, when a stand-alone release of Delicate Sound will be made available, in some very nice sounding editions. You’ll be able to get hold of this on Blu-ray, DVD, 2CD, 3-disc 180-gram heavyweight vinyl and as a deluxe 4-disc edition with bonus tracks. All editions feature 24-page photo booklets, with the 4-disc box edition including a 40-page photo booklet, tour poster and postcards. The 3LP 180-gram vinyl set includes 9 songs not included on the 1988 release of the album, while the 2CD includes 8 tracks more than its original release. It is bound to be a popular release for many, and pre-orders are now open for the various editions. You can order them through the following links, taking advantage of Amazon’s free pre-order price guarantee – should their asking price drop at any point between you ordering it, and release, they will automatically charge you the lowest price during that period!

Beneath the Surface: Taydem Shoesmith
What would you say first sparked your interest in music/who inspired you to make music? I can’t seem to really pinpoint a time where my interest for music began. Music has always been a big part of my life, and I’ve been singing since I could talk I think haha! What inspired me to start …
