BraveWords - Where Music Lives

"A Saucerful Of Secrets" by #PinkFloyd

Their 2nd album and final one to get authentic mono mix. Like w/Piper, the mono vinyl mix sounds just superb.

This is an underdog Floyd album as w/Barrett leaving the band they were searching for new direction, so it's a bit unfocused. No #Waters visions (though there's WW2 refs) or #Gilmour solos unleashed yet, instead obscure space/sci-fi rock and #RickWright lullabies.

The sleeve is 1st ever #Hipgnosis album cover.

Canzoni in pegno e nostalgia con cedola

Tempo fa avevo già provato a mettere ordine in quel piccolo miracolo inverso che è l’industria musicale contemporanea: tutti giurano che sia in crisi, tutti piangono lacrime copiose per gli artisti che “non ci campano più”, e poi — come per magia — arrivano i fondi di investimento, quelli con il completo grigio e il sorriso da notaio, a comprare cataloghi per miliardi. Dunque la domanda è semplice, quasi volgare nella sua semplicità: se la musica rende poco, perché Wall Street […]

#HughSyme’s covers for the Rush anniversary editions are terrible. It’s a hack version of #StormThorgerson’s post Hipgnosis work. The originals were a better knock off of #Hipgnosis. #GraphicDesign #AlbumCovers

Grace Under Pressure is particularly awful.

Actually EVERYTHING happened already in a #Simpsons episode before it happens in reality, right?
This seems to change now, everything gets worse and now #coverart by #BlackSabbath (or #Hipgnosis) from 1976 predicts everything...

Der zweite Versuch, ein Album anzuhören, weil #Hipgnosis das Cover gestaltete, scheiterte nach ein paar Songs... 😅

Ich habe - aufgrund des letztens verlinkten sehr schönen Films von Anton #Corbijn über das #Vinyl Cover-Art Grafikstudio #Hipgnosis - DAS ERSTE MAL IN MEINEM LEBEN (jajaja, ich weiß...) das Album "Dark Side Of The Moon" komplett durchgehört und halte es für ziemlich überbewertet und einfallslos. Teilweise recht atmosphärisch, aber mehr nicht, für mich nur mit Klassenfeten und ersten Engtanz-Versuchen ("Blues") verbunden.
