Pink Floyd film soundtrack feature in new issue of Shindig! Magazine

ticketmastersComment(0)

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/).

Just announced is the release of Pink Floyd’s A Momentary Lapse Of Reason – Remixed & Updated on physical and digital formats (including some unusual ones) in October 2021. Remixed and updated from the original 1987 master tapes for ‘The Later Years’ by Andy Jackson with David Gilmour, assisted by Damon Iddins, the album on Pink Floyd Records (PFR37) will be available from 29 October on 2LP heavyweight 180g vinyl (cut at 45rpm for enhanced sound quality), CD, CD DVD, CD Blu-ray and digitally with stereo and 5.1 mixes. In addition, for the first time, and from 19 October 2021, the album will be presented in 360 Reality Audio (https://www.sony.com/electronics/360-reality-audio), a new immersive music experience that closely mimics the omni-directional soundscape of live musical performance for the listener using Sony’s object-based 360 Spatial Sound technologies. This new edition of AMLOR will also be released in Dolby Audio and UHD in addition to 360 Reality Audio, all of which will continue with other Pink Floyd releases. The release of The Later Years project in 2019 gave an opportunity for a fresh overview of A Momentary Lapse Of Reason, originally released in 1987. By returning to some of Richard Wright’s original keyboard takes, and by re-recording new drum tracks with Nick Mason, producers David Gilmour and Bob Ezrin have restored a better creative balance between the three Pink Floyd members. Nick and David explain: David Gilmour said: “Some years after we had recorded the album, we came to the conclusion that we should update it to make it more timeless, featuring more of the traditional instruments that we liked and that we were more used to playing. This was something we thought it would benefit from. We also looked for and found some previously unused keyboard parts of Rick’s which helped us to come up with a new vibe, a new feeling for the album.
