New Pink Floyd Album “The Endless River” Due October 2014

Pink Floyd is to release a new studio album called The Endless River in October 2014. This will be the first studio album from the band since The Division Bell which was released some twenty years ago back in 1994 – it has had the 20th Anniversary Box Set treatment of course. According to a tweet from David Gilmour’s wife, Polly Samson, “Pink Floyd album out in October is called “The Endless River”. Based on 1994 sessions is Rick Wright’s swansong and very beautiful.” To get further updates on the new Pink Floyd album, please get our free email newsletter,  or follow us on Social Media via Facebook or Twitter.

Division Bell 20th Anniversary Box Set Released Today by Pink Floyd

The 20th Anniversary edition of Pink Floyd’s Division Bell is released today and gets the special deluxe box set treatment for fans to enjoy. In addition to the box set, there is also a double vinyl if you do not want to invest in the full box set. The boxset includes all sorts of goodies as with the Immersion Editions of Wish You Were Here, Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall. The goodies in those box sets kept many fans happy for some time. The Division Bell boxset continues along that theme. The box set contains 6 discs (CD and Vinyl mix), collector’s prints,  a blu-ray disc and features a 5.1 mix of the album released for the first time, mixed and mastered by Andy Jackson and Damon Iddins.

Watch New Roger Waters Music Video – The Child Will Fly

A new music video for Roger Waters The Child Will Fly has appeared on YouTube for Roger Waters fans to enjoy! The two and a half minute song features contributions from Shakira and Eric Clapton and Gustavo Cerati (from Soda Stereo, one of the biggest groups in Argentina). It was written 6 years ago for the Fundacion Alas charity to raise money to help disadvantaged children. What do you think of the song? Let us know on the forum (opens in new window).  I love the guitar solo towards the end. After listening to the new Roger Waters song above (video 2014) feel free to watch a behind the scenes “making of” video to give context to the new Roger Waters song video… lets call that a music video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_AbW0yDbcI

Watch New Pink Floyd Marooned Music Video

With the Division Bell soon to have it’s 20th Anniversary, and in addition to the new boxset and LP releases, there is a wonderful new music video for the song Marooned from The Division Bell album. The video is set in Chernobyl after the famous nuclear power incident caused the entire area to be abandoned due to contamination. Eerie and spooky. You can watch that below. Marooned is an instrumental piece and was written by David Gilmour and Rick Wright. Many of the songs on The Division Bell album had lyrics written by David’s wife, Polly Samson. Polly would go on to write many of the lyrics on David’s On An Island album too and she is also working on David Gilmour’s new album. Indeed, she was stuck on writing a lyric only recently as revealed on her Twitter account. Roger Waters & David Gilmour New Albums I am looking forward to...

Nick Mason “In Conversation” at Borders – Tickets on Sale Now

Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason will be participating at an “In Conversation” event for Borders book store. The event takes place on Thursday 12th June 2014 in Melrose on the Scottish Borders where Nick will be interviewed by comedian Rory Bremner. Tickets are priced at £10 (£8 with concessions) and more information about the event can be found on the Borders Book Festival website. Nick Mason wrote the book Inside Out: A Personal History of Pink Floyd which is an excellent document of the history of Pink Floyd as seen through the eyes of Nick Mason. Perhaps the views expressed in the book are not necessarily the views shared by Roger Waters and David Gilmour who famously fell out many moons ago. Nick Mason certainly is the archivist of the band and I bet he has all sorts of flyers, programmes, personal photographs which document the lives of Pink Floyd members...
