Perfect Tens Dept. - Pink Floyd

Outstanding in her field ...

Charter Four Or Five Guy© Sitarswami, a legend on th' IoF for his unique contributions, sent me a link to this frankly awesome remix of Atom Heart Mother. It's by a collective calling themselves MQR, and their website trumpets a metric shitload of remixes made without profit in mind, to be given away freely to fans because, hey man, the Man can't take our music, right? Except that there are - perhaps predictably - no links to download them. Gee whiz and uh-freakin'-huh, right?

Mr. Swami managed to source a handful, and among them is this stunning remix of one of my favourite albums, Atom Heart Mother, now given away freely to you, th' 4/5g©. It's that rare thing, a remix that improves on the original in every way, thus earning the prestigious IoF© Perfect Ten Award, the first for a remix. They got the cover right, too. THRILL to previously buried detail! WANDER thru widescreen stereo soundstage! SWOON to a transformed Summer Of '68! It's become my "go-to iteration", and it likely will be yours, too!

I've a feeling there'll be additions to this post, so check back every few seconds or so. It's not like you have anything better to do.

  1. You know the ropes, the drill, and on which side your bread will be buttered.

    1. Faltonia is east of Freedonia, and west of Grand Fenwick

    2. FALTO - For A Limited Time Only - was a great under-the-radar forum that is - amazingly - still going (my researchers tell me).

    3. Faltonia (the sovereign state) is famous for its healing waters.

  6. Gotta say, I'm all Floyded-out now. The peak was the still-peerless "Echoes", and i don't resent their earners. Then came beautifully crafted song cycles (but now terminally over-exposed): DSOM/ WYWH, and "Animals". I LOATHE "The Wall", and Roger's dreary moaning; his solo stuff likewise. Saw Nick Mason' playing the early Syd stuff a few times, which was enjoyable. i saw PF in 1977, and it was OK, but characterless; the tributes I've seen to them have had more personality. PF have become rock for civilians, and not MY BAND.

    1. There is no reason , and you're not even suggesting one, why you should not enjoy this. MASSIVELY!

  7. I can't remember the last time I buttered bread, but it was probably buttered on the B-side.

    1. Americans don't usually use butter in a semmitch, do they? Or is that a myth?

    2. Generally speaking, it's usually mustard or mayonnaise, at least in my neck of the woods.
