Oh, awesome!!!
Something new by one of my favorite up and coming new  bands...

:cool:

 

1. I was going to say "Needs to show more Gurdy," but the Gurdy quotient was much higher nearer the end.

2. New to you maybe, I see the video was posted in May of '16

3. Reading through the comments, I note that Patty has left Storm Seeker. Too bad for them. But I think I'll buy the album anyways. Noticed a few albums titled "Stormseeker" on iTunes...

4. Favorite comment: "Great sound! Makes me want to drink rum and make someone walk the plank."

5. When the video ended, one of the featured videos was this metal cover of a classic Dire Straits tune. Leo's wife is a pretty good singer

I didn't know, but I have to admit, I'm not that terribly surprised...

I first heard this song from a lot of european radios (I think Sky Radio of the Netherlands and a few more as it played through this) years ago.

And just a while ago they did it again on a Dutch radio... they always give a good surprise.

I don't know why this popped into my head this morning...

And I'm astounded I found it on YouTube...

So much better than In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida...

I give you the EPIC

Butterfly Bleu  :cool:

You poor, deprived thing. Everyone should be indoctrinated into the Pink-Floyd-osphere.

I hope you heard The Dark Side of the Moon by now.

A Momentary Lapse of Reason should also be experienced, as well as Wish You Were Here

At least you discovered The Wall already. I may have to go on a Pink Floyd binge now...

Hammer! Hammer! Hammer!

Dark Side is probably my favorite album, especially Time

WYWH is good.  TFC might require an understanding of the political situation of the world in the early '80s to appreciate the full effect.

While I like a few tracks off of AMLoR, I never really caught on to the post-Waters era.

I know it seems to be largely ignored, but I like The Final Cut.

You’ll notice I didn’t mention anything after AMLoR. The Final Cut is mostly if not all rejects from The Wall is it not? Never really got into that one

You should also watch the movie of The Wall if you haven’t already. There are some great tracks there that aren’t on the album, along with some wicked animated sequences

Simply had to add color where required

It is mostly.  There was some new material to fill it out.  But if you really want to hear Roger Waters whine about losing his father and how bad politicians are, it's great.  It's not highly regarded, but I like it.  It has some good bits, if not the whole thing.  I can see why people call it an unofficial solo project, though.  Still worth a listen to hear the parts that never make it on either the radio or a "Greatest Hits" compilation.

When the Tigers Broke Free from the movie is included in later releases of The Final Cut.  But if you like the album, the movie is worth a watch.  I need to find another copy, just for my collection.

Just watch it repeatedly until you can explain exactly what happens, what is real, and in what order it occurs. :D  (Then debate it...)

 

 

Edit:
Moderators, can you do something about @qzgy and @StrandedonEarth, please?

The one Saturday night I'm home at a decent time, and they force me to listen to Pink Floyd albums!

Some 10 15 (damn, I'm getting old!) years ago, this music was my weak up alarm. That were tough times, but also somewhat satisfying ones - I realized a lot.

Now and then I miss this music (the iPod mini that I used to use is kaput - and my mobile speakers are a shame!), and put it in loop for some minutes.

I'm doing it now.

After watching "Bohemian Rhapsody", I popped my iPod in to play some Queen on my ride home... Only to be horrified that Queen wasn't even listed under artists, and the SOLE, SINGULAR Queen song loaded onto the old upgraded iPod Mini was part of the Liberty Rock Radio soundtrack from GTA 4. This... made me sad... When i got home, I sought to remedy that by loading all my Queen music onto the iPod... Only to be FURTHER disappointed that despite a 296 GB music folder, I had FIVE Queen songs, not counting the aforementioned GTA 4 track.

Basically... EVERY rock station plays Queen. I can't go a DAY without hearing Queen (this is a good thing), so long as a radio is playing (Radio, I still love you :cool: ). Problem is, that radio, for all it's love of Queen, doesn't really hardly play more than about a dozen songs... Always the same handful, repeatedly. As such, I sought to remedy this. Five greatest hits albums acquired, and 5.5 hours of Queen later, I now have resolved my iPod's Queen deficiency, but MORE importantly, discovered that they have SO MUCH MORE that I either have NEVER heard, or that I haven't heard for YEARS.

"Driven By You" is one of those forgotten songs... I used to hear this on the radio, back when it was new, and I LOVED IT back then... I know it was used in a Ford advertisement. I think that might have actually pushed the song quickly out of regular play... It became "that Ford song". Thing is, it's been SO LONG since I'd heard it, I'd completely forgotten all about it. I never even realized it was Brian May, of Queen, performing it. More likely, I didn't know the name Brian May as a kid, and thus, since this was released as a single by Brian May, I never knew that, for all intents and purposes, this was more or less Queen, post Freddie. I also didn't know enough about the music world back then to know Freddie Mercury had died the SAME month this got released.

I like to think that despite the use in a Ford ad, and despite the relationship described in the lyrics... I imagine some of the inspiration of this song has got to be a tribute to the bandmate they had just lost, who they knew they were loosing as this song was written. Particularly the bridge and final chorus... I just get that vibe... Anyway, when taken in that light, its a rather touching song, at least to me. Even the lyric's up front narrative is interesting.

I tell ya... It really is something to discover a great song for the first time, twice! :D

Welcome to the aural experience that is the music of Pink Floyd!
I hope you find plenty to enjoy!
