New Pink Floyd Album, October 2104

[Warfish]

Titled "The Endless River".

Composed of updated/reworked instrumental out-takes from the 1994 Division Bell sessions.

Described as "Ambient" and "Rick Wright's Swan Song". Would expect a "first five minutes of Shine On" or"Marooned" type vibe.

No Roger Waters. No Tour.

Fully expect the usual haters gonna hate (for all the old reasons, no Waters, too old, lost their magic, always sucked, etc.) but I, for one, am VERY excited at this news.

New Gilmour solo album expected n 2014/15.

New Waters solo album expected in 2014/15.

New (to us) Gilmour/Wright/Mason/Pratt Floyd Album in Oct. 2014.

Could be a great year for Floydheads.

was wondering when you were gonna start this

Will like to hear it but I don't think I have 90 more years in me.

Which is a perfectly logical reason to hate

I look forward to ripping the tracks from YouTube once it's posted.

Hmm, interesting indeed. I'm not expecting anything earth shattering, but I'll definitely check it out.

I'm psyched as well...Anytime one or a few of them gets motivated enough to put something out, its worth checking out

[Mohegangreen]

Don't know if you've heard of Rival Sons, Warfish....but this is one of their new songs, its a real Floyd vibe...at the end they break into Echoes. Really cool, they're an amazing band

[Warfish]

I was not familiar Mohe, thanks. Went and listened to a few of their tracks on YouTube.

They sound, honestly, like Led Zepplin fronted by Paul Rogers.

Not too shabby at all.

Best band out there right now...At different times they sound like Zep, Free, Beatles, Doors, etc.., and all those psychedelic 60's bands like Zombies, Monkees...etc, all rolled up into one. They take a little from all of them. Saw them at Gramercy theatre in NYC on 6/25 and they sounded even better live.

Very psyched about this news

Also not expecting anything earth shattering ... But will be cool to have some mellow/mostly instrumental/floydian sounds in tribute to Rick Wright, RIP

I had read tweets about this & the Gilmour solo in '14/'15 ... But this is the first I heard about Waters solo in '14/'15 as well ... That is where we can expect to hear the p1ss & vinegar, as well as political stances.

great news all around!

I'm looking forward to it. Yet another reason why Fall is the greatest time of year.

Huh?

This isn't new material, it's stuff that never made it to Division Bell apparently.

I have to admit, I've never understood this viewpoint.

For one, if you think it'll suck, it's easy to just not buy it and not listen to it, right?

For two, why is it that fans think they should decide when an artists should stop engaging in their art? Such an odd idea that to me.

For three, if you're a fan of Floyd, the reality is that even half-ass 3-member Floyd is going to be "better" than a lot of what else is available today, it's not like fans of the Floyd sound have a trillions options available like those lucky bastard Deadheads do.

For four, it doesn't change anything they did before. That was before. This is now, when old men (exceptionally rich old men who give a lot of their money away, before the old "cash grab" argument comes out) still think they have something to share.

Last, millions WILL enjoy it. Why would you hold a viewpoint that would rob those millions of something they'll truly enjoy based on a personal view of "too old"?

It's an ambient/instrumental album, at it's worst it'll be boring, at it's best it could be a disc full or "Morooned".

I wouldn;t let it forthcoming existence bother you, one way or the other.
