If you use Firefox (the freeware Internet browser) just write "about:config" (without the quotes, of course) in the address bar. Press "Enter". Then look for the "general.useragent.extra.firefox" entry. Doubleclick on it and write "MEGAUPLOAD 1.0" (no quotes) after the browser version alredy reported in the string (for example: "Firefox/2.0 MEGAUPLOAD 1.0" if you're using Firefox 2.0).
Close the browser. Reopen it and be ready to download!

Recording for the 'More' album/soundtrack finished in March (it came out in June to coincide with the film's release). With regard to the 14th April debut of 'The Man and The Journey,' Waters said:J Ed wrote:Cymbaline was not part of the 1st show, so presumably they started performing tM&tJ before working on the More soundtrack
"A friend of mine who comes to see our normal stage act was very disappointed and felt cheated. He thought it was like paying fifteen bob to see us rehearsing. He was right in a way because we were rehearsing. The people were watching a happening" (Melody Maker, 3 May).
So it seems to have been more a theatrical concept than a potential album. Much of the material was previously released as you said (Careful..., Pow R Toc H, "Celestial Voices"), or slated for release in the near future (Cymbaline, Green Is the Colour).

hmmm,
Ummagumma when finally released did include new versions of Saucerful and Eugene, so I dont see there being a genuine issue with old songs being recycled
even the More songs could have been included, as that was a somewhat obscure sideproject that many casual fans might have ignored, even in 1969
anyway imagine if it had been released as a studio album, what would it have looked like?
would it necesarilly have been a double album like The Wall?
I think by keeping the songs, and scaling down the instrumentals, it would have made a single LP, with each half to one side
I think The Man and The Journey was an experiment that eventually led to the concept albums for which they are now known
maybe best viewed as a sketching out of what shape such a concept album would have to take, after which they spent another four years fleshing out the content
The Man in particular is quite similar to side 1 of Dark Side, both in structure and in theme
(On the Run even sounds a bit like those crazy percussion jams)
theres a Roger quote I'll look for, where he says his inspiration came from some graffitti he spotted outside a traintunnel in London:
"wake up, commute to work, work, commute home, shower, sleep, repeat" or something like that
easy to imagine how dwelling on that thought would have led to "then one day you find ten years have got behind you"
in betwen they worked out AHM, with all its cinematic transitions, and Echoes with its more unified musical flow,
and bootleg collectors know theres all those unnamed improvisations from 1970, which seemed to retain the percussive jams and wierd floating bits from tM&tJ, as well as introducing early instrumental passages from DSotM!

But knowing certain members' perfectionism, it'd be difficult. The Concertgebouw performance is almost perfect, but for low-mixed vocals, a terrible vocal lead on The Narrow Way, and Rog forgetting the first line of Biding My Time. We can have La Carerra Panemecia, but we can't have that.
Then again, they might re-unite just to record that. 90% of the fans will be infuriated or scratching their heads, 2% will be annoying Syd-only partisans, and 8% (including me) will be celebrating.
And it'll top the charts regardless. The music video for "Teatime" will win some kind of award. (It'll be directed by Martha Stewart, of course.)
In all seriousness, don't expect a Man/Journey very soon unless they squeeze a show onto a disc in the Pink Floyd Mysterious Box Set 2007.

The repeated bass part on the Concertgebouw performance appears in versions of "Interstellar Overdrive" from 1968.orange floyd wrote:Did the Labyrinths of Auximes eve become something else? it sounds familiar, but it might just be me.
Other "Labyrinths..." (14 April and 26 June) are quite different, from each other as well...
