new issue (number 120) of the UK’s Shindig! Magazine (https://www.silverbackpublishing.rocks/product/pre-order-shindig-120-on-sale-7th-october/) is in stores now, and as its cover picture shows, has an item of interest to Pink Floyd fans. Within the pages of the magazine is an eight page feature looking at the Floyd’s work over their early years creating accompanying music to a range of films, with a focus on Peter Whitehead’s Tonite Let’s All Make Love In London, Barbet Schroeder’s More, Michelangelo Antonioni’s Zabriskie Point, and Schroeder’s La Vallee (which lead to the album Obscured By Clouds). There’s the odd mention of other work they did (such as touching on The Committee). The article is an interesting summation of their work on these films, how they approached the writing of the songs, and how the recordings were done – in some instances, with very little time to come up with suitable music to accompany the onscreen action, or with demanding director’s who dismissed each offering with a different criticism.. Elsewhere in the magazine are features on XTC’s Andy Partridge, Dion, and The Move. It’s in all good UK stores now, and available to purchase online worldwide via Silverback Publishing’s website (https://www.silverbackpublishing.rocks/product/pre-order-shindig-120-on-sale-7th-october/).
