| The Career of Pink Floyd - non-stop The Career of Pink Floyd - non-stopBy Edna Gundersen, USA TODAY (Sep 28, 2001)Pink Floyd echoes in the music of countless prog-rock offspringwho have emulated and embezzled the band's dark, ambient experiments since the mid-1960s. Now the groundbreaking British group is reviving those blueprints in its first offical career-spanning collection, Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd. Due in November on Capitol in the USA and EMI elsewhere, the double album includes nearly 2 1/2 hours of remastered tracks mixed as one continuous piece of music. Songs include See Emily Play, Money, Shine on You Crazy Diamond, Wish You Were Here, Comfortably Numb, One of These Days, Arnold Layne and, for the first time on CD, When the Tigers Broke Free, a song from The Wall film that was released only on a limited-edition vinyl single. The 26-track set, to be available on CD, cassette and vinyl, was assembled by producer and engineer James Guthrie with input from Floyd alumni David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Nick Mason and Rick Wright. "The trickiest thing is getting four strong personalities to agree on what to include," Guthrie says. "About 80% was unanimous, and the last bit involved a bit of diplomacy. It's impossible to represent Pink Floyd on two CDs, but within this limited framework, it does contain some of the band's favorite songs." Longer tunes required prudent editing, including shaving 7 minutes off the title track's original 23 1/2 minutes. "We're close to finalizing the running order," Guthrie says. "The band is going over three different mock-ups. We decided early on that a non-chronological order would be more interesting to listen to."  |
