Hi,
I always thought that there was more material out there that Richard left behind, and I think that Gala (his daughter) and the family probably felt that it was all too unfinished ... or weird.
If you take a good "DAW" and separate all the parts, listen to Richard's by itself. In some cases it is down right weird and strange. In others it is spacy as heck. In others it is jazzy as heck. And it would be hard to believe that there are not 100 tapes or samples of this stuff that the family has no idea what to do with, and neither did anyone else.
That, there would be material left over from "The Division Bell" is not big deal. There always is material left over from everywhere, be it pee, poop or music or left over food! The remains always make their way somewhere, except The Beatles ones, that fans love to deny and not accept they exist or existed, specially in the CH! The bootlegs never existed! Which, of course, is the record companies fondest wish and hope EVAAAAAAAAHHHHH!
My guess is that there is more material available, some of which can be used for something and some of which might make things rather difficult. But calling it a PF album would be sad, since Nick hasn't done any serious drumming in 10 years or something, and rumor has it that he's not interested in drumming anymore! And of course, we know that Roger is not likely to show up anyway, and that would be sad, and sadder still.
I don't know. The older I get the more I wish some quiet time and less ripping off the families and the artists. I've seen the rape of the artist and the children FIRST HAND in our family, and folks in this board not giving a ****, so why Richard's family? or anyone else?
PF, and many other bands had a great run ... one of the best. The story is over! No sense milking a dead cow! You don't sit here and get all excited about Beethoven's new music, or Mozart's ... so why anyone else? Hell ... I'm peed off at Bapu and the rest because the CHB is not working, and they have no idea how to use a woman's voice to enhance it!
