they're reuniting for the live 8 concert (the article calls it the original line up, but of course there's no syd barrett)
i've just stuck on dark side of the moon, first time to listen to it in quite some time. what an album. speak to me / breathe in the air has to be one of the most beautifully perfect songs ever written. blissful!

not really :) depends where you come from perhaps.
get dark side of the moon.. always a nice place to start. i don't think anything else they ever made came close to touching its perfection.

i'm quite shocked by the news but good on them, it's for a good cause i suppose. but i don't think it will stretch as far as a new album. apparently gilmour has already recorded some new songs for a new album.

I prefer 'The Wall' actually, not sure why. Song like the title track and 'Money' just have a pseudo-psychadelic atmosphere about them which makes them stunning to listen to, rather like the early Doors material. I never got that near-kathatic reaction from any of the songs on 'Dark Side...'

The thing is, that all of the albums up to the final cut are really awesome.
The last two are kind of gash though.

I think the wall beginst to lack quality (musically)
its a nice opera rock, with a nice concept, but sometimes it has weak musical moments
its not as good as its predecesors...
the final cut imo is bad
you could not see a weak track in dark side, wish you were here, animals...

Pretty cool, though it's not my ideal Pink Floyd. It's Pink Floyd, not THE Pink Floyd.
I don't want a new album but I can't wait to see this concert.

Really? Thats quite interesting news. Do you think its kind of late in the game for them? Could a new album even measure up to the bar that they created and raised?
I would be very curious to hear that

some of ummagumma is really good. the live album is ok but i feel uncomfortable listening to gilmour playing barrett songs. the studio album is 50-50, nick mason & richard wright are throwaway, but gilmour's the narrow way and waters grantchester meadows / several species are fantastic, both of which save the albums from being a total nightmare.
they even thought so too, which is why the called it ummagumma - i.e. what a disaster.

Other than DSOTM + Animals i find post Syd Barrett Pink Floyd really dull. Meddle + Piper at the Gates Of Dawn are absolute genius. If you haven't already listen to Interstellar Overdrive off Piper, one of the best intros ever then it turns into this mishmash of twangy guitar and lightning fast bass.
Syd rules, get Madcap Laughs aswell
