Pink Floyd - A Fleeting Glimpse Posted on by

Richard Wright / Wet Dream reissue – SuperDeluxeEdition

An update regarding the Vinyl and Bluray releases of Richard Wright’s Wet Dream 2023 Remix by Steven Wilson.

USA CD | MP3 | Blu-ray | Vinyl

UK CD | MP3 | Blu-ray | Vinyl

My remix of Richard Wright’s ‘Wet Dream’ will be released on CD and streaming platforms on what would have been Richard’s 80th birthday, 28th July. Deep blue transparent marbled vinyl and blu-ray formats follow on 29th September. The blu-ray additionally includes 5.1 and Dolby Atmos mixes as well as never-before-seen personal archive videos. The new mix additionally includes 2 extra passages of music that were edited out of the original mix.

Most people know that Pink Floyd have always been my favourite band, so it was a real honour to be commissioned by Richard’s children Gala and Jamie Wright to remix this relatively underrated and beautiful entry in the Floyd canon. For anyone hearing the album for the first time it will become apparent just how much of Richard’s DNA runs through Pink Floyd. His distinctive rhythm patterns, signature keyboard sounds, vocals, jazz influences, and style of play exude throughout. All formats feature images and brand-new artwork commissioned and art-directed by Gala and Jamie and designed by Carl Glover. The original Hipgnosis artwork features in the vinyl booklet. – Steven Wilson

Roger Waters – ‘Speak To Me/Breathe’ Now Available

Pink Floyd - A Fleeting Glimpse Posted on by

Roger has released his final singles from his upcoming Dark Side of the Moon Redux, which is the opening tracks Speak To Me and Breathe. Speak To Me features some familiar lyrics from Obscured By Clouds, Pink Floyd’s 1972 album which preceded The Dark Side of the Moon. You can now stream the songs and view the lyric video below.

Roger Waters - Speak To Me / Breathe (Official Lyric Video, DSOTM REDUX)

 

 

 

 

 

“When we recorded the stripped down songs for the Lockdown Sessions, the 50th anniversary of the release of The Dark Side Of The Moon was looming on the horizon. It occurred to me that The Dark Side Of The Moon could well be a suitable candidate for a similar re-working, partly as a tribute to the original work, but also to re-address the political and emotional message of the whole album.

I discussed it with Gus and Sean and when we’d stopped giggling and shouting “You must be ****ing mad” at one another we decided to
take it on. It’s turned out really great and I’m excited for everyone to hear it. It’s not a replacement for the original which, obviously, is irreplaceable. But it is a way for the seventy nine year old man to look back across the intervening fifty years into the eyes of the twenty nine year old and say, to quote a poem of mine about my Father, “We did our best, we kept his trust, our Dad would have been proud of us”. And also it is a way for me to honor a recording that Nick and Rick and Dave & I have every right to be very proud of.”
