'New' Floyd Album - Cover Art & Track Listing

 

THE ENDLESS RIVER
 
 
Calling it a “return to the creative principles” of ‘Echoes,’ ‘Shine  On You Crazy Diamond,’ and ‘Animals,’ Pink Floyd have revealed the cover art, track listing, and release  date for their new album ‘The Endless River.’
 
Culled from the same 1993 sessions that produced 1994′s ‘The  Division Bell,’ the 18-track ‘Endless River’ is shaped from a period that found  Floyd members David  Gilmour, Nick Mason and Richard Wright jamming on “more than a hundred pieces of music”  and then finishing the arrangements with producer Bob Ezrin and a group of  studio vets that included keyboard player Jon Carin, bassist Guy Pratt, and  percussionist Gary Wallis.
 
Newly augmented by additional overdubs from Gilmour and Mason, as  well as archival performances from Wright, who died in 2008, the end result is a hybrid collection of new Pink  Floyd music that Gilmour says “feels right” in 2014. “‘The Endless River’ has as  its starting point the music that came from the 1993 ‘Division Bell’ sessions.  We listened to over 20 hours of the three of us playing together and selected  the music we wanted to work on for the new album,” he explained. “Over the last  year we’ve added new parts, re-recorded others and generally harnessed studio  technology to make a 21st century Pink Floyd album. With Rick gone, and with him  the chance of ever doing it again, it feels right that these revisited and  reworked tracks should be made available as part of our repertoire.”
 
Gilmour and Mason discussed the project for a cover story in the  Nov. 2014 issue of Uncut, revealing that the album includes some organ work recorded  by Wright in 1969, boasts an overall atmospheric tone, and was partially shaped  by input from Roxy  Music guitarist Phil Manzanera, who listened to the tapes and offered his  thoughts at Gilmour’s request. The interview also includes lyrics from the sole  vocal track on ‘The Endless River,’ titled ‘Louder Than Words,’ which offers a  poignant overview of the band’s tumultuous history with lines like “We **** and we fight / But this thing that we do / It’s louder than  words / The sum of our parts / The beat of our hearts / It’s louder than  words.”
 
Promising “mellifluous keyboards, jazz-tinged drums, musique  concrete, ethereal vocals, and distinctive, emotional lead guitar,” ‘The Endless  River’ is due for release on Nov. 10 and available for pre-order now.

No doubt splashings of Polly Samson instead of Roger...

Still I did enjoy Division Bell so fingers crossed.

Oh Guy Pratt as well on it. We know him he's as a cool geezer (bass player extrondinaire gun for hire) and he's just come off the Bryan Ferry tour I believe. He has a great one man show well worth seeing if he starts it up again... Good to see him back with Gilmour.

What, Rick Wright is no more? Tell me it ain't so.

Yes... I keep forgetting about Syd well worth reminding...
