Hmmm... Not very Floydish, eh? So tell me, what makes a piece of music "floydish?" The compositions, the playing, the lyrical themes? Would you call an album such as Pipers at the Gates of Dawn "floydish?" How about The Division Bell? If they are BOTH Floydish, how do you reconcile the fact that the instrumentation on those albums was completely different (given the fact that they were recorded more than two decades apart)? And the personnel was pretty different as well, with only a few of the musicians playing on both albums and many appearing on the second who were not on the first - and vice versa.
Just trying to learn something here....
