Alan Parsons - Return to Tunguska

[bluesgk]

David is just incredible...I have no words..!!!

[aluaj2]

beautiful piece. dont focus only in Gilmour... Alan Parsons feeling rules

[krazyzark]

love this song. great composition even without the inclusion of David Gilmour. Gilmour is just the icing on the cake.

[BoopityDoop]

A wonderful and aesthetically pleasing song!

[Neuwo]

Why does everyone focus on Gilmour's solo instead of Posofrd's COMPOSITION?

[wildgoalife]

@Neuwo because simon posford is less know maybe?...i recognize his style here very very clearly..you probably as well...but some people do not know him..just lets enjoy this track all of us together:))

[saab4u2]

Nice...saw him play this live the Mohegan Sun at the beginning of this "Tour". Best part is, it was a free show and I got my "I Robot" album signed.

[FrancoVerite]

Gilmour's soli make my skin tighten

[tlacaivan]

enorme !

[ACERAMGAD]

Bravo!

[SgtRon1805]

Just knew it was Mr Gilmour the first time I heard it, there is nobody who can make a guitar 'sing' like he can, pure genius.

[gwalchafed]

who the fuck is gilmour? :o

[SayHelloToAndroid]

@gwalchafed David Gilmour from Pink Floyd.

[elarboldejoshua]

@gwalchafed David Gilmour played guitar and write songs on Pink Floyd ....check COMFORTABLY NUMB..that'0s the best example of his guitar and comjpositive work...cheers man!!

[TigerEyeJewel]

@elarboldejoshua check out the live pulse tour comfortably numb. sooo epic, like 9-10 mins and probs about 3 of that is improvised, loved it. that and marooned live at pulse.

[chiffmonkey]

@gwalchafed Only one of the best guitarists ever.

[liverpool43]

5:38 gilmour takes over!

[Rossano777]

Time for a another album, don't you think?

life is short and not always easy, help us out with some more beautiful sounds!

I love this piece.

Ciao

[Rossano777]

life is short and not always easy, help us out with some more beautiful sounds!

Ciao 

[rastabalkanraj]

mr David Gilmour on guitar ladies and gentlmen :)

[Sbavni]

Gilmour should be considered as a UNESCO World Heritage!!!

[rastabalkanraj]

@Sbavni great :)

[Unshackledtruth]

Sound Acid.

[625Mel]

thx for the great vid ! .. connect the dots..

[AtomHeartPinkFloyd]

This song would be nothing if Gilmour was not playing electric guitar.

After all it is known that Parsons begun writing music after collaborating with Pink Floyd. He is copying them since the very first time. (The similarity between Pink Floyd's "Time" and his "Time" is more than obvious.)

[Succubus2Angel]

Beautiful music, beautiful scenery, what an amazing melding of the two. Great job!

[mrBerlev]

if i'm not mistaken, animals and native tribes had sensed smth and leaved the place of explosion beforehand. like those who can sense approaching of earthquake

[chao4364]

David Gilmour isn't only a technically perfect guitarist... his guitar has soul..

[SoWirdGelogen]

@chao4364 I love Dave, but technically he isn't playing in the first class. But he is the best player in the world

[vinclairemma]

@SoWirdGelogen Could you elaborate on that ?

[SoWirdGelogen]

@vinclairemma Yes, I can. I like his playing. How he play guitar and his compositions are great. He had great ideas and he was also forming the sound of Pink Floyd. His influence for other players is also important, but even David Gilmour said, that you can find better players in the underground of London. What he meaned: He don' t have such qualitys like other British players like Knopfler, Clapton, Blackmore or Page. For example.

[vinclairemma]

@SoWirdGelogen OK. It's not the first time I hear that Dave Gilmour is not considered as a fine guitar technician - though I'am totally unable to judge on that. So I might be true.

But the point is, there are few guitar players whose sound convey so much emotion - and I can judge on that :-)

So, from this point of view, I consider him a "better" guitar player than the great ones you mention - except Eric Clapton maybe, who is also a great musician.

[vinclairemma]

@SoWirdGelogen Just to explain a bit further, his ability to express emotion lies on his compositions, sure, but also in the way he plays - I just can't explain it, but his guitar sound is both unmistakable and full of emotion.

Let's put it this way : Page, Knopfler and Blackmore may play wonderfully with their hands, but in my opinion they just can't play as well as him with their heart.

[GeorgeGordonHaggarJr]

Shpongle are awesome here. And Gilmour either. I think Shpongle always needed guitarist with such feel and understand of music

[MrQuimosabe]

Castingtherunes, yes Tunguska was an airborne explosion about 200 feet above the earths surface, it wiped out over 850 square miles of trees. it exploded over Siberia in the late 1800s. Surprisingly, not many ppl died due to the fact that not many ppl lived in the area at the time.

[mohacz]

@MrQuimosabe You nearly there....It happened the 30th of June 1908. Early morning hours

[666767]

alan parsons was the sound engineer for darkside and is the one who put all the bells together on time

[snookie60100]

i guess tungunska is the right term

[snookie60100]

too beautiful !

[guzsaj]

I'm sorry, I didn't realize it was feat Shpongle.

[guzsaj]

it seems shpongle was heavily influenced by this.... Ha!

[PsyShpongle]

now i want a Shpongle vs David Gilmour song:) with Benji Vaughan as guest appearance;)

[666767]

@PsyShpongle wth fuck vs this vs that get ta fuck ya baw bag gilmour is in a zone of his own

[MennyPunns]

not a huge fan of the movie, but

skip over exactly the first minute of this song and play it over the credits of "A Series of Unfortunate Events and it will fit better than their credits music.

[castingtherunes]

Isn't Tunguska the place that was wiped out by that meteor in the 1800s?

[adenps]

Here's some progressive/ambient music by an artist called Music Pollution:

[adenps]

This track is awe-smasking!

Look up a progressive song by Music Pollution! :) Good stuff (not as good as this ofcourse,but....)

(Partical Revolution, the symphony) Enjoy....

[wjordannh]

excellent!

[blueeyes508]

Love this video go's with this music..

[bone101ify]

INCOMPARABLE!!!!! Nuff said!!!!

[meckes834]

Amazing Track; Fantastic !!

[carbonio14]

gilmour touch is unmistakable..

[W1DERFUL1]

The world of music video producers should learn from these ARTISTS!

[tongapuss]

I have not heard Tangerine Dream for an awful long time, it was my Husbands favourite group. But at around 2.40, and if I had not known it was APP,would have sworn it was TD.

[behnam2u]

Good job , thanks.

[Chris51]

Alan Parson stamped his true genius on Dark Side of The Moon and has never let up. The guy is blessed and continues to bless me with his imagination and insight. 'Awesome' is a word not sufficient to describe his music. 'Godly' will come close.

[global1ff]

Awesome video and even better song!

Are those combine soldiers talking in the intro? :)

[pacus2006]

Sounds like Pink Floyd

[blope332]

Special doesn't even begin to say how much I love this. It's hypnotic and tribal completely unique.

[toady224]

Always been an APP fan.Love the video.Thanks for sharing, Toad.

[nytwings]

Niiice video to go with this amazing music.

[LaurentziuRo2010]

Fantastic music and video !

[jwp068]

What an amazing piece of work ! This was my " theme music " driving around Tasmania's ( Australia) s.e. Funny how you also associated the music with geography as well. I had goosebumps watching it ! Brilliant ! Congratualions !

[gab1159]

Ok, you're kidding me right? Simon Posford, Alan Parsons and David Gilmour reunited on a single track? Wow!

[ultrapowerdrive]

Alan Parsons is a man who talks to the machine.

[hinkyponky]

Fantastic post - Dave Gilmour is always a joy to listen too - it's a big shame that Parsons' long time collaborators had gone (eg Ian Bairnson) as they really gave the sound that everyone associates with them - I really missed them at the last live concerts - brilliant video thanks! :)

[skykai125]

heard this song in a Porno. lol

[carlover]

@skykai125 me too :D

cant remember on which site

[bizso09]

@skykai125 blondie in parkin lot? ;-)

[shortnanehdooz]

ALAN PARSONS presents DAVID GILMOUR and SIMON POSFORD....

dream come true...

[shotgunwalter]

Wenn, actually its called a lap steel, a steel guitar is an entirely different instrument that inables you to play sharps by means of a foot pedal, your remark explains your ignorance so the ytube community and musicians alike will know your are sharp as a rats turd when it comes issues like these, But I'm always glad to teach people like you that don't the difference,,,,your welcome

[FellstarOverlord]

Ahh, that there is the unmistakable sound of that legendary guitarist's guitar. David Gilmour(and Alan, of course) is a musical God!

[XPIOLT]

That was a trip, thanks for posting it. I always liked Alan Parson's Project

[henrypollack]

This is a masterpiece song! Gilmour/Parsons all we need is Wolfson! AP is ab genius!

[Neuwo]

This track is dripping with Simon Posford's sound.

[shotgunwalter]

can you hear the "one of these days" overtones in Gilmour's solo?

[wenn9366]

Um, yeah. It's called a steel guitar.

[omarblnv]

David Gilmour performs a soaring solo on this song!!!!

[mycroft791]

@omarblnv It's great cause on the interview on the DVD/CD version of this album David says Alan was cool cause his arrangement for the guitar was pretty much to do what David thought went well as far as improvising when needed.

[chiffmonkey]

@omarblnv Three solos actually :P

[MaggieFloats]

@omarblnv Is it really Gilmour?? Wow! No wonder

[SoWirdGelogen]

@omarblnv Yes with a slide guitar. But he is always great...

[jayden777]

This is a beautiful song. Why can't we have more collaborative tracks like these and/or a full length album? The footage is nice, though it must be have more variety (non repeating) to accommodate the length of this wonderful psy-influenced downtempo song.

- Jon Cocco from psynews.

[TravelerDiogenes]

Sorry, all you admirers, but all the repeated visuals in this are really annoying. The editor couldn't find more cloud clips? More water clips? Wow. . . I love the music, but the visuals pretty much suck.

[Snowflake70]

If you provide the plane I'll fly it wherever you want and we can take more videos for everyone. I'm only good for light twins but wouldn't mind getting my jet ticket!

[kkktr34]

the real pink floyd combination

[kr31zi]

Really intense: almost 30 megatons (~ Tunguska event)

[medicvet]

this video is INTENSE!

[MINEROCRUZ]

EXCEPCIONALMENTE , EXCEPCIONAL.

[sorasmusic]

I love it when Gilmour plays his gituar and Alan Plays his music great work Alan.

[aussiek67]

Folks AP worked with both Gilmour & Shpongle on this, remixed some similar sounds from Pink Floyd & Shpongle but none of the sounds are exactly the same. Thats Alans genuis. He knows how to mix everything so well using old & new sounds. Awesome song & good video.

[stvbw]

Actually both Alan Parsons & Simon Posford of Shpongle collaborated on the mixing and production of this track. Simon is a genius in his own right. A master technician as is AP of course. ; ))

[VOVPro]

It's amazing!!! Shpongle & David Gilmour incredible combination! :)

[FreedomEngine]

This is 100% Simon Posford with a sampled guitar by David Gilmor. I'm not sure how Alan Parsons gets any credit for this one at all. Every voicing in this is directly from one of the many Sphongle songs, including Michelle's vocals.

[ssc0205]

SUPER¡¡¡

[fluffythecat2]

David is soooo great on a guitar

[bluklan63]

Don't be surprised. On guitar plays Gilmour from Pink Floyd

.

[ThouTubeth]

HA! I knew it!

[vicctorknight]

Anyone else noticed how Alan snuck some snippets from the Pink Floyd track "Another Brick In The Wall" Part One into this?

[ZiggyZipgun1]

I'd say it's just a very similar echo on those staccato synth parts. The guitar work sounds like Gilmour on his red lap steel.

[LordArys]

I had a little time, and wondered, what happened to my close friend, acompaniing me from youth to man.

This wonderfull combination of Pink and a little floyd with pictures from a helm-cam from Albatros Airline Chief-Pilot Orville brought me the wonderful thought of starting to train as a pilot.

Keep on and thx

[telsport]

Wondered where ALP would go from where they were and now I think I know where they are but they 're already gone and advancing again .

Alam Parsons

Moody Blues

Jethro Tull

Beethoven-Eroica and 9th.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEhah!

Oops...forgot Zappa..but he gets a bit wordy. If he had just stuck to playing the guitar the world would have erased their memories of about 1/2 of the so called superstars of the

'git fiddle.

Tom in Utica.

[jolandasterbloem]

FANTASTIC MUSIC

[medicvet]

whoah. too late. 8)

[Glandistar]

dont take any "pills" with that.....oh gooooood...:P

[Satire1221]

Holy shit david simon and alan, amazing <3

[DjKokkinA89]

WoooooooooooooooooW *.*

[JohnnyGlasher]

very nice job mixing the music with the video

[Orremann]

Svante!

[Orremann]

Rickard!

[philateliceun]

Simon!!!!!

[tatatadd]

if i am not wrong, david gilmur played in this song..

[vinclairemma]

You're right, Dave Gilmour plays the guitar... and as usual, it's amazing how much it improves the music !

[65metal]

@vinclairemma Can Gilmour play guitar or can Gilmour play guitar!

[vinclairemma]

@65metal ??? I didn't get your point.

[65metal]

@vinclairemma My apologies, as I was being complimentarily sarcastic. Of course the guy can play guitar, imo the best string musician ever. I have always been a huge David Gilmour fan, and ass I stumbled upon this song by accident, am delighted to hear him work with Alan Parsons again. Does anyone know how frequently they have collaborated since the Dark Side of the Moon in '73?

[vinclairemma]

@65metal No problem ;-)

About your question, I don't have the answer to it.

[justdoit015]

That was nice.

[EZappa88]

Understated.

[Zaalogg]

This is more shpongle then Allan Parson.

Well this colab of simon posford and him should do more stuff together.

For all liking this song should check the band "Shpongle"!

[T3hOddball]

W00T ALAN PARSONS!!!

[BonelessSausage]

But don't get me wrong it was only a concept album. They wrote many great love songs and EVE does not reflect on them. Ed

[mycroft791]

"Damned If I Do" wasn't a love song?

[BonelessSausage]

Yes it is. Eve as whole is not. Ed

[LTBL88]

nice

[calculator1954]

To cldbrks, I think that this video goes well with the music. Nice job.

[cldbrks]

Thakns a lot!

[koala707]

I have been into these guys since 1977 and LOVE all of the albums (except EVE..) Hell, I even like most of FREUDIANA. Anyway, I don't have this album yet, but this video, to me looks like a tribute to the late 1970's film KOYAANISQATSI. Interesting stuff. Terry

[BonelessSausage]

You don't like EVE because it is misogynistic I guess.

[T3hOddball]

What is misogynistic?

[BonelessSausage]

Hatred, Dislike or Mistrust of Women. Songs like "Damned If I do" would be a mistrust song. "Lucifer" would be a hate song. And the song with lyrics like "You lie down dogs you get up with fleas" a general dislike. Ed

[sarahxsmileee]

This is one of my favorites of the alan parsons project. its so unique

[usm7j]

If you're interested: Tunguska is the site in Siberia where a meteor/comet/UFO exploded in 1906.

[paramis1]

The Dark Side of the Moon REUNION.

[paramis1]

The Dark Side of the Moon REUNION. And a tribute to Nicola Tesla and great mysteries.

[riciard55]

God is there but unfortunately not in the way we want thats why you dont understand Question is it possible to know about GOD ??????????

WEll I AM GOING TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH

Every thing is only because you are thinking it now . Its only because you are thinking it

at this moment in time as you read this WOW GOt it OR Not

[Violanuvola]

è davvero molto bello, verso il finale sembravo ET: "casa", "Tornano a prendermi?" Mamma aria e babbo cielo, tornate a prendermi!

[Violanuvola]

Magnifico! Oh te, torno dopo con un assistente esperto di Alan

[MarioSpeedWagon]

does anyone know anyother songs/bands where i can hear more like atmospheric rhythms and tones like this? something along the lines of this as well....watch?v=s-HauiX-Ni0

[mycroft791]

Well, it's David gilmour [of Pink Floyd fame] playing the guitars in this song. Look up his solo stuff. some of it is atmospheric. For other stuff, look for a group called Tangerine Dream.  You'll like some of their stuff as well. Jean Michel Jarre is another one who comes to mind. Enjoy.

[paramis1]

Enigma (the band).

[usm7j]

Kraftwerk-Autobohn.  Best listened to while commiting herbicide.

[paramis1]

Autobahn. Oh yes.

[RinkaBrinka]

Shpongle!

this song is also with Shpongle.

Shpongle is amazing. pure divine moments of truth.. pure bliss for your consciousness..

[scotti36maroon]

Wow, what a song and video. Simply superb.

[FastEddieNelson]

That's Gilmour on guitar...

Short but sweet.

[norapisgoodrap]

Indeed. Gilmour's phrasing and style are unmistakable. This is the same technique he developed way back on "Wish You Were Here". I never tire of hearing his licks. Jeff Beck is another I admire.

[mycroft791]

Alan engineered Pink Floyd's Dark Side album, only fair that Gilmour plays some notes on one of Alan's albums.

[usm7j]

Absolutely incredible. This is the first time I have seen AP's music properly visualized.

[Canad444]

Awesome, both the song and the video. Thank you very much for sharing.

[monolithsapphire]

Shpongle does it again in space rhythms & tones

[jluc1969]

Alan Parsons sont les meilleurs pour la musique planante !

[zaturnio]

Nice work, really nice, many thanks for sharing your video

[afrocuba1]

Ma sono video ufficiali oppure autoprodotti?

[lcclk]

It's well made but when you age your music mature.I think the slowness of mind and body eventually afect your music and when hormones fade away some band's just die. Maybe not in the case of AP thou-Sounds the same as ever

[loveflowers39]

Thats not all that dies!

[loveflowers39]

Thats not all that dies!

[crystoyu]

I'm sorry..not ''ears''....I mean ''years''.....

[crystoyu]

One of the best track's I've ever heard in the last few ears....magnific.....and the David Gilmour's guitar is magic.

[dvdtranslations]

Awesome video to an awesome song. If only there were more people in the country trying to emulate Alan Parsons instead a country of infinite wannabe American Idol contestants.

[skatomalakas21]

Great video..!

:)

Bravo!

[cldbrks]

Thank you!

[somedeadhead]

check itunes for the song

the title is:

Antartica (Alan Parsons, Feat. Shpongle)

from the "out of control" soundtrack?

[cldbrks]

The first title of this track was "Antartica", and it is in the soundtrack "Out of control". This "Return to Tunguska" has sone little differences from the original one.

[vanastensucks]

@somedeadhead WRONG dumbass, on itunes the name of the song is return to tunguska (what a surprise), and the album is named A valid path

[djbecktor]

david gilmour, simon posford & michele adamson...... this is jagermeister for your ears
