Right, thanks. Off to the psychiatrist's then.
I like discussing such things because my intellect thrives on minutia. Arguments are not something I actively look for, but I like to set the record straight whenever possible. It's not the centre of my life and it never has been, but when you're a bored college kid like me then Pink Floyd trivia is the perfect outlet for a mind like that. Let me just say from experience, on the other hand, that Star Trek trivia is NOT a very healthy place to direct such tendencies.

The fact that we're both here, so amicably discussing the topic heading of "What were Rick & Nick's contributions to
AMLOR?" on a Pink Floyd messageboard, indicates to me that we at least on some level share the same sense of appreciation for this song and for the question of who did exactly what within the Floyd ouvre, mighty though it may be.
I don't have stuff like this memorized. If the topic of a particular song's instrumentation comes up, I'll just put on headphones, take a listen and draw my own conclusions. I'm not hearing anything different than you are, and I don't pretend to be any more knowledgeable about exactly what's going on at any given moment than the next guy. You can check it out yourself if you don't believe me.

Your response might be "Well at least I don't hide behind my little world that all 3 members were actually there," it doesn't really matter because only crickets are listening to us anyway. I'll just skip over your posts since a lot of the time they generate nothing but bitching. |
Hey, ignore me if you want. I exercise the right to automatically ignore your messages as well, as does everyone else using the board (something I do to only a very very limited number of people only, when we just can't get along). If my stubborn nit-pickery pisses you off that much then fine, go ahead. My only regret would be if we didn't get a chance to converse again in the future because one of us were to act so rashly without considering everything the other person had to say.
Now, you may in fact be surprised to discover that I, too, enjoy listening to Terminal Frost and most of the rest of
AMLOR. But what I most appreciate about this track is the technical execution: I love that cold, delicate web of sonic artistry. It's a testament to the production genius of David and Bob that they can make a track like this without much input from anybody else. But to say that its beauty or magic derives from the core element of three men jamming just doesn't ring true for me, and I don't mind saying that that is one area in which
AMLOR is lacking.
So, to sum up: Rick and Nick play on "Terminal Frost," but probably while overdubbing their parts separately from Dave's. That's all I'm saying. Oh, one more thing, Jawbone (then the bickering can stop). Could you try to use your carriage return button/enter key a little more liberally? It makes for better readability on long posts.
BTW, is your screen name by any chance from the title of a song by The Band? I love that song.
