So here's news from a reliable source ( a tweeting Mrs Gilmour), A new Floyd album is on it's way, the title will be The Endless River. It's made around what Rick Wright left behind, and probably a lot of the stuff both Gilmour and Wright were working on during the so called Barn Jams. http://https://twitter.com/pollysamson/status/485411029573439488" rel="nofollow - http://https://twitter.com/pollysamson/status/485411029573439488 The management has also coinfirmed that a new Gilmour album will be out 2015. |

This states Roger is involved.....I'd have to see that to believe it. I wish I could get excited about it, but like many of the original bands I think any new material would be far less exciting than when they were a true "band of brothers".

Roger is not a member of Pink Floyd (he left 1985), so he's not involved. However, he's rumoured to be working on a solo album, to be released next year. |

No it's not a hoax, I promise.  It's even confirmed by the "Organisation", not just Polly. But she spilled the beans,I don't know anything about the crapiness though, but according to Jon Carin (very inofficially, of course) it's absolutely beautiful. Both the PF and the Gilmour. I kind of envision (enaudition?) the album more like a soundscape piece of music more than a rock song record. |

As long as it doesn't sound just like what I would expect it to sound like, i'll likely be pleased with the result. The last Gilmour album did that for me - a much different vibe than what I expected, and even though it didn't blow me away, it struck me as an honest piece of work. I hope the Floyd does the same, and not worry about how "Floyd" it sounds. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

If you mix up Jim's, Dean's and Steve's responses to this you'll get a fair whiff of how I feel about it. 10 years ago I would have been over the moon about a new Floyd album, but nowadays I find it increasingly difficult to get excited about a pensioner come together, even if it is one of my absolute favourite bands. The good thing about this is the fact that it will be very easy to surprise me. Still, like Dean mentioned, this made my day (along with the rain that just began now after an insufferably humid, hot and bugfilled Saturday. Feels so cleansing). ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

My first thought was this was a hoax, but then I saw that the source of the info was Polly Samson. All I can say is wow. And if Rick had a large hand in the composition of the album, I have to say I have high hopes (couldn't resist) for the album. Totally stoked.

The only way it could be a hoax is if Polly Samson's twitter account got hacked. If that were the case we'd know about it by now. But also backing singer Durga McBroom has posted about it too. I'm glad Rick Wright's music will be included.

I don't think Floyd would go out with a mediocre album. Their first tribute album is a masterpiece (Wish You Were Here), this one will be a tribute to Richard Wright - I think it's going to be the best album they can put forward. And I can't imagine that Roger Waters isn't involved in some way. I'm sure he'll be on this album, as a tribute to Wright. Gilmour's most recent album was his best. I still always listen to tracks like On an Island and The Blue. (I'd love an entire album of tracks like those two.) So I'm quite hopeful.

| I do am getting ever more exited about this. After rapidly loosing hope for the new Yes album, this news are really great. For what I understood from the news I've read, this album will use the leftovers from "Division Bell" (which I must admit doesn't sound so very promising... but it's Pink Floyd, they have never released a weak album under their name... at least not since Dark Side, or even before that). However, if some of the rumors mentioned on this thread are true (which I would be a bit wary to believe), and the barn jams and the work Wright was doing before passing away are really being used too, that would be just awsome and might give more material to work on. And, if by any chance, Waters was to be involved on this project too, that would just seal the deal... however, I don't really think that would happen. Now, which should be the better release this year? Pink Floyd, David Gilmour solo, or Roger Waters solo? It's too much for one year. |
Posted By: jude111
Date Posted: July 05 2014 at 23:08
I don't want to get your hopes up. I was only speculating about whether unused Wright compositions would be on the album. I never read anything to the effect; I only vaguely remember reading something about Wright working on a follow-up to Broken China. Does anyone else remember reading something along those lines? BTW, if that new Waters song that was recently released is anything to go by, his new album could be quite lame... (I admire his politics, I agree with him 100% concerning his views of the Israeli occupation and his calls for a South Africa Apartheid-like boycott of Israel; I just didn't like that new track at all.)

It's just damn fun and exciting that Floyd has an album coming out. Of course, the glory days are behind us, but Division Bell and Momentary Lapse had some good moments. I really hope they tour a bit. We are getting to the end of the classic rock artists being able to be on the road, so this is just damn fun!! ------------- Stardust we are. -Roine Stolt |

After that what Yes has published so far, it is really difficult for me to get excited about their new album. I thought I'd preorder that but I want to spend my money on better music. I'm excited about Pink Floyd's new album but I'm worried that it will be poor.  Time will show, I hope I'll be satisfied.

There are actually none of the classic prog bands from the '70's that I am interested in when it comes to new material.

This provides a bit more info, got this (kill me now) from the Rolling Stone webpage (Hey, it was the first link that came up! ): Durga McBroom-Hudson, a singer who toured with Pink Floyd in the 1980s and 1990s and is apparently involved in the new project, offered more details on `The Endless River' through her Facebook page. "The recording did start during The Division Bell sessions (and yes, it was the side project originally titled 'The Big Spliff' that Nick Mason spoke about)," she explained. "Which is why there are Richard Wright tracks on it. But David and Nick have gone in and done a lot more since then. It was originally to be a completely instrumental recording, but I came in last December and sang on a few tracks. David then expanded on my backing vocals and has done a lead on at least one of them. That's the song you see being worked on in the photo." She went on to emphasize that the new album will consist entirely of unreleased songs. Hopefuly, although I really wouldn't want to hear a purely instrumental Floyd album (as much as I love instrumental discs).....but damn `The Endless River' is a slightly cliched and unoriginal title. |

This worries me. I was hoping that The Endless River would be mainly instrumental. Roger Waters is a one of a kind genius; on the post-Barrett, pre-AMLOR PF albums he was able to express very complex and unconventional thoughts with clarity and elegance (while maintaining proper rhythm and rhyme). On the AMLOR, the lyricists are already struggling. Apart from One Slip - hate to say it - the lyrics are either rickety, or commonplace, or fragmented/vague/abstruse. It doesn't get any better on The Division Bell. But, if they decided to add some lyrics and vocals after all, I guess there is very little we can do about it.

Yeah, I guess it would be fine for me. But this is no King Crimson, and Gilmour is no Fripp, so I don't think he would be up to doing such an album at this point of life under the name of Pink Floyd. Perhaps under his solo name, but under Pink Floyd he would surely be thinking about a more polished finished conventional product. Back in the day they would surely have been up to the task, but no more. |
Posted By: Dellinger
Date Posted: July 06 2014 at 22:21
Yeah, I do understand this... that's whay I said that what I know for (almost) fact that they will be using is leftovers from DB. However, I would wonder if they would be up to the quality of a new Floyd album... I would just have to hope Gilmour knows what he is doing. About the unfinished Wright album, I have read about it, and even posted it more than once in this forum, and have thought before that it would have been great if Gilmour would take whatever was advanced and finished it... perhaps under the Pink Floyd name. And, in order to have enough quality material for a new album, I do believe Gilmour would need to use not only those leftovers, but also the Barn Jams and what Wright might have been able to record for that new album... so I do hope Gilmour is using some of those too. |

We are all so funny and without stirring the thread up....some of us so damn self righteous WTF????? A new Pink Floyd album, best news this year by far. We all knew there was material left over from Rick's sessions and many many bands use unreleased material to forge ahead with a new release. I would be disappointed if Roger is not part of the album given the ' bonding' between them in recent years and well Water's input would be incredible to say the least. He has said he is working on a solo for the last 22 years, there is only one other artist that keeps procrastinating on new material like Water's, yes Peter Gabriel! So anyway wonderful news even if it 5 minutes of new PF material, I would be stoked. ------------- ...As I venture through the slipstream, between the viaducts in your dreams...[/COLOR] |

| It may not be Floyd from the heart, but Floyd in spirit. I love the few Barn Jams I have on the Gdansk LP set, if this is an indication, then there's potential for some choice material. |
Posted By: Dean
Date Posted: July 07 2014 at 03:35
 Absolutely. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sure a new Floyd album would out-sell all of his solo albums put together, but I don't believe that he has ever openly exploited the name just for the money and the ticket sales - like Waters, he's doing just fine as a solo artist. Given the success of the albums On An Island and Live In Gadansk and the video releases of David Gilmour In Concert and Remember That Night (all released under his own name and all featuring Rick Wright, with all the live tours and subsequent live recordings drawing heavily on the Pink Floyd back-catalogue) then if he feels that The Endless River is a Pink Floyd album and not a David Gilmour solo album then it should be assumed that he has good reason to do so. The Barn Jams were released as a bonus disc to Live In Gadansk as part of the David Gilmour discography, not as Pink Floyd and they are all credited to Gilmour even though Rick is playing on them. The same is true of Island Jam from Remember That Night. So if there were parts of those jam sessions that can be credited to (or with) Rick Wright then it is my guess that he possibly didn't feel comfortable releasing them, not because they were not up to muster, but because (possibly out of respect for Wright) he didn't regard them as solo release material. I remember at the first Meltdown concert in June 2001 an audience member shouted out something about a new Floyd album and his response was "Who gives a f**k?" - (to a huge roar of laughter from the audience) ...13 years later the answer is clear "David Gilmour does". But until more details of this album are announced all we can do is guess and speculate - and that's part of the fun and excitement of it all because love it or loath it, we all "give a f**k" - several of them in fact. Anyway, I hope Phil Manzanera is on the album.
 ------------- What? |
Posted By: Tom Ozric
Date Posted: July 07 2014 at 04:08
| To be a totally instrumental album would be somewhat of a 'cop-out'. Not that Gilmour and Wright's work is not up to snuff, but a full instrumental work from one of 'the greats' would certainly divide fans. Wright may not be a 'virtuoso' in the true sense, but no-one can match his magic touch and ideas. Waters was a competent bassist, no doubt, and Mason's drumming style fit the band's material perfectly, but it's definitely the keyboards from Rick, and Gilmour's amazing guitar stylings that define Floyd for me.......... |

I'd like a slightly `bigger' sounding album that still has the same restraint as Gilmour's `On An Island'. I think, if it was mostly instrumental, then it might be closer to RichardH's `plodding instrumental album with some standard bluesy guitar bits?' assumption from a page or so back. We need to hear Dave sing, otherwise it will end up sounding a little less special....and probably like a bunch of albums and bands scattered over the Archives!

I think, Mr Else, we were just referring to lead vocals from David (and/or Roger, but I doubt he's involved in this). Yes it has been confirmed Durga is singing on one. But I'll ask you and anyone else...would you WANT to hear a mostly instrumental Pink Floyd album? I certainly don't, as nice as the playing would be. But Dave's voice is still in great shape, with his tone and character intact...I just think (excluding Gilmour's guitar sound) that an instrumental album would sound a lot more...anonymous?

Well, I fully agree that David's voice is not affected by age (btw, Roger is another story). I have no objections against an entirely instrumental album, but some songs with David on lead vocals, and even one or two with Roger singing, would give the album a nice signature.

If it's got backing vocals then it's most likely going to have fronting vocals of some kind as Gilmour does seem to enjoy singing so it's hard to imagine that he won't. Non-singing instrumentals tend to be either short or experimental. Experimental would be interesting but I can't see it happening. One of the speculative news reports said something about back to basics - when you're Pink Floyd that can mean so many things.

Roj says bring back Rog. I'd love a mainly instrumental album actually, especially if it's in the vein of the intro music off the Division Bell tour. I've even seen mentions of similarities to the Orb/Gilmour album Metallic Spheres........ Oh, and lay off More . That's an absolute classic album, love it. |

Storm was more an instigator and facilitator rather than an artist and much of the artwork on Hipgnosis' covers was created by other people (George Hardie being the most notable from a Floyd perspective). His input undoubtedly be will be missed even if some of his later output seemed to lean to heavily on his past successes - The Cranberries Bury The Hatchet cover for example looked like something snaffled off the Division Bell reject pile. ------------- What? |

Maybe he didn't miss out. I wouldn't be surprised if he was in on the whole thing and managed to finish something. |

`More' - my absolute favourite Floyd album, such a fragile, shimmering acid-friend pscyh beauty! Second Roj's love for it! Good pick-up Scott with the final line of `High Hopes' being the new album title! |

Oh, me too Sagi...I really believed we'd have more of a chance getting a new Collins fronted Genesis album before this. But a new album from a band that eclipses almost every other prog band, not only in a strong and varied body of defining music, but in sheer popularity and commercial appeal....loved by endless millions who have no idea what the hell "prog" is.... I still can't believe it..... NEW F**KING PINK FLOYD ALBUM!!! October isn't too far away either!

I just read that Roger Waters will not be on the album and that the album will mainly consist of ambient and instrumental music. Phil Manzanera is one of the co-producers.

Damn! That stinks. It really, really does, but it's a new Floyd album, so I suppose I should be grateful for whatever they put out since they were such an important band for me. ------------- “Music is enough for a lifetime but a lifetime is not enough for music.” - Sergei Rachmaninov |

It's great news imo that they will 'back to basic'. It can be a mediocre album and it will not be some scandal really. Though, there is also a big chance to be GREAT album. |

Arhh nuts! So this means no 'Atom Heart Mother 2' then? They need to get back together with Ron Geesin and smoke some space tobacco imo. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

What about Nick Mason's participation on the album? There's no PF album without him.  |

I think "an album of mainly ambient and instrumental music" is actually a good thing, many of their best moments have been in that vein, and for me the best song on Bell was Cluster One. It also means less 80sy leftovers and more stuff that just wasn't suitable for that album. |
