I mean, I’m sure someone does, but in The Wall movie it’s in one of my favourite scenes. They say no one knows who really played it. Starting at about 1:15 is one of the most beautiful little classical guitar pieces I have heard. But the cut I listen to most would be “Is There Anybody Out There?”, which is a short instrumental. As long as there are people on the earth they will be listening to Pink Floyd. To me their music is classic and will transcend all time. Jim James, My Morning Jacket: I love a lot of Pink Floyd. Pink Floyd put that song down as they felt it, then bolstered it to give it real weight. It was something Pete Waterman later picked up, but that was to protect a bad singer. The lyrics are delivered ad hoc, then tracked to lend them weight. “Breathe” is as simple as dimples in the way it’s sung, but they use an interesting vocal tracking style. It was a classic example of using the studio as an instrument. They were utilising everything at their disposal, experimenting within themselves. It was industrial, experimental rock and represented a machine-made freedom. I think Pink Floyd’s ethos for Dark Side… was very different, too. At 17 or 18, I had an acid experience and it made me listen to the album in a completely different way. Guy Garvey, Elbow: My sisters loved The Dark Side Of The Moon, so it was always playing somewhere in the house. Dark Side…’s curtain-raiser begins languidly (another pastoral Floyd album?), but its lyrics (“Run rabbit, run”) are wickedly booby-trapped.
