Calling all Pink Floyd fans

Anybody notice tiny cracks on the spindle hole of the SACD? I wouldn't bring it up, but mine has them and so does the copy purchased by a friend...

Sleeping through Floyd! Man what a bummer!

I wish I had seen Darkside,but I think the Wall was the pinnacle of their success. The concert is still better rememberd than the Album.

I hardly listen to Floyd anymore,but I still listen to their SOlo CD's.

Amused to Death
Wet Dream-Richard Wright
David Gilmore-David Gilmore

all are more classics to me than Floyd! Maybe I am just getting older.

Nrchy-Is the music of the Police you dont care for or the recording?
I find the Police recording cleaner with gobs of detail with out sounding bright.
I like the recording of DSOTM also but its not as good as the Police.
I prefer Floyds music over the Police for what its worth.

Man! I went to see Pink Floyd in around '71...sometime after the 'Meddle' LP came out. Got too stoned and slept thru the whole thing in my girlfriends lap! I don't remember a freakin' thing....doh!
The ultimate 'I got stoned and I missed it'!

David, were you really that impressed with the Police "Every breath you take" SACD. I bought it a few weeks ago, listened to it a few times and put it away. I liked the DSOTM SACD better!

I wont even touch that one.
Good luck.

David,

I've been trying to decide what to get next (in a few months when I can afford it... sort of). I can either get a vinyl rig or an sacd player... this is only making things harder!

Eeerie1 - You need to get a SACD player so you can hear *The Police* "Every Breath You Take" SACD!!

I may have to get an SACD player so I can hear the new DSOTM!

For Floyd Fans that want to hear some different stuff try Danid Gilmore \David Gilmore
Richard Wrights-Wet Dreams
Roger Waters-Amused to Death

Those are my favorite Solo works they did I feel and I think I have heard most all of them. I listen to those more than my Floyd collection.

"Learning To Fly"out of all the floyd stuff I have that is the worst recording I think I have. All their regular stuff I have in Remasterd's,but not that one.

Hope that helps!

Alda-Maybe DSOTM isnt for you and bores you.
It still tingles my spine after 30 years.
If I have to pay $11 for the newest mastering and SACD at that,its very worth it to me.
I have an original vinyl pressing and they both sound terrific.No noise with the SACD though.
I find "Floyds" oldest stuff with Barrett boring.My opinon only of course.

Is Dark Side Of The Moon really a Pink Floyd fans' issue? That ongoing selfquoting mediocre opus in comparison with earlier releases like "Saucerful Of Secrets" or later ones like "The Final Cut"?
No offence, but I find it rather boring to have this hype about a re-re-re-re issue in whatever high resolution format of a few interesting gimmicks - interesting in their time, that is. "........money so they say is the root of all evil today"

Slowhand-I havent heard the vinyl re-issue.
I have read it sounds very good to some and not so good to others.
There seems to be a quality control issue also.
Some have mentioned surface noise esp.ticks.

Im a analog guy but I bought the SACD and it sounds great! No tics either :~)
