The late Floyd Interviews shed perhaps the most personal light on their history in retrospect, however, they were closer in relation to the 60s and 70s material at the time of these interviews. It's Avante Garde approach that still set it apart and as well, overwhelming positive response considering how unique FLOYD music is
karlheinz stockhausen (not stockhauser!) was one of the most important composers of modern classic music in the 20th century. not knowing stockhausen is like not knowing pink floyd.
The only two things that make Pink Floyd and Tool similar is that one they are both Prog. Another is that they both don't rely on appearances of band instead they rely on the musical and visual aspect of their performances such as lighting, lasers and etc. I've had the chance to see Tool (great show) the whole time they are like playing in the dark, you can't really tell what they're face features are. Same thing with Floyd in the old days they played in the dark you couldn't tell who they were.
Oh mann,diese verdammten pseudo-intellektuellen reporter von damals nerven!:( Die haben damals einfach nicht das künstlerische potenzial von pink flod erkannt.
Man,these german pseudo-intelectual reporters from then sucks! They didn't understand the artistic genious of Pink Floyd!
No. HAHAHA. I was agreeing with you. I said that other people have weird senses of beauty to where they would say someone like Waters is ugly when he isn't. I'm sorry, I should have clarified. People are use to rude comments on youtube so they expect things to be attacks. This comment, however, was not an attack.

Roger waters is defiantly a pompous ass hole no doubt. But his work in dark side and the wall was genius. He's got no carry in his current work though.
Alan Parsons only engineered DSotM: he had no composition credits and many of the ideas, like the samples in money are Waters. Bob Ezrin didnt do any composition in The Wall either, only musical arrangement.
ok. well not that i dont believe u but can u back it up? I really dont like the dude and the only thing i can give him credit for is his song writing in floyds prime
roger has earned the right to be pompous and an asshole cause if it weren't for him writing well EVERYTHING ink floyd would never have been close to what it was
pink floyd would've never been pink floyd without either david or roger...they're a great combo and it wouldn't be the same without either one of them. Roger= Wicked Lyrics David= Sonic explosive melodic guitar solos
I agree that Waters is a prick for the way he treated the others. What he did to the band is treason and its punished with a fucking shot in the back. Nevertheless, he is a very talented composer and the best lyricist ever, not only in Pink Floyd but the whole rock history.
The members of Pink Floyd met each other during their time as students at London Polytechnic [=University of
Westminster, nowadays].
Playing with technical possibilities characterized their style from the beginning. With their concerts at UFO-Club, with their soundscapes and lightshows they gave life to the trend of psychedelia in pop-music, five years ago.
...reached the point of perfection in artificiality, without losing the spontaneity and emotionality which gave its vitality to popular music. With time their music got more modern, more abstract and more complex - their worship for Karl Heinz Stockhausen [Who the HELL is that?] got palpable.
Karl Heinz Stockhausen is a german composer. A pioneer in electronic and other music. His Kontakte is an awesome piece. Listen to that and you can see his influence MAYBE, on stuff like A Saucerful Of Secrets and other Floyd trip outs like the heavy experimental stuff like Sysphus for example.Good stuff if you give it a chance. There's more to experimentally minded music than the Floyd.
[I hope you can figure out yourself what Waters is telling the interviewer even though it's barely audible]

"Ummagumma" - reorded in 1969 when Pink Floyd's influence on the music scene began to unfold.
They experimented with any type of sound effects, exploited any technical possibility, from collage to electronic distortion, they worked with all imaginable technical means and with the greatest efforts and thus [...]
They always used to play around with any type of sonic element, musical quotes an references throughout the whole spectrum of music, mostly from an ironic an distant point of view but with "Atom Heart Mother" they seem to have exaggerated.
I tried to translate it for you, hope my english is not THAT poor. I did it in a hurry:
Pomp instead of pop. Pink Floyd on tour in Germany:
With a huge crew, a choir a Brass-Ensemble and a conductor, Pink Floyd got caught in their own mesh [uhmmm - that's the literal translation. Couldn't figure out a better translation. I means that they sort of reached a point of exaggeration in their own style]
