BOOK DESCRIPTION A short essay on the music of Pink Floyd. This is not just a purely biographical text or a general overview of the band from London. This is a work focused on the study of a specific composition, which restricts the scope for one of the most emblematic suite songs of Pink Floyd’s discography: Shine On, You Crazy Diamond. It is a starting point for a reflection on popular music in general, compared to the music of all time. Through a detailed analysis of the harmonic and melodic aspects of the first 5 parts of the song (Parts I-V), described in a virtual journey way, this work aims to testify to the compositional genius of Pink Floyd (with a whole chapter devoted to guitarist David Gilmour) which is empowered to gather within itself, today, all the key elements of the entire musical stylistic heritage of the last 60 years of popular music worldwide. Starting with a brief introduction to their artistic life and a historiographical record of the band, the text quickly turns into a work of research and study, based on three aspects: formal, compositional and evocative/emotional. It is a stimulating basis for study and research. For musicians (especially guitarists), for committed students or already professionals who wish to go deeper in the knowledge of the musical world of these artists, whether they want in a more general way, compare with other analysis of the composition made previously or subsequently. It is a useful tool for study and for a more conscious musical and less purely imitative performance. A reading, finally, that although containing different complex parts from the viewpoint of the musical technique is also addressed in large extent to the avid reader, although not a musician, allowing him to discover the immense, fascinating and complex "parallel world" that exists behind all that was listened to in life and is listened to every day...
From their gigs in tiny church halls to multimillion-selling albums--"The Dark Side" "of the Moon," "Wish You Were Here," and the rock opera "The Wall"--and elaborate stadium shows, this tome celebrates legendary rock band Pink Floyd. Lavishly illustrated with previously unpublished photographs and rare graphic memorabilia, including posters, advertisements, handbills, and tickets from every era of the band's remarkable history, this survey provides a comprehensive overview of the group, its members, and the times. In addition to a biographical account of the band's collective and individual careers--from their pre-Floyd times in the early 1960s to the present day and their music's evolution from psychedelic and space rock to progressive rock genres--this definitive reference presents a meticulously researched chronological listing of every Pink Floyd and solo concert with set lists, radio and television appearances, and a UK and U.S. discography.
Self-proclaimed rock historians will delight in the scope and detail of this all-inclusive encyclopedia of Pink Floyd.

Dies ist die weltweit meistverkaufte Biografie Syd Barretts, des legendären Gründers von Pink Floyd, der nach einer nur allzu kurzen Karriere zum Idol wurde. Sie beruht auf jahrelangen Recherchen und zahlreichen Interviews mit der Familie Barrett, mit Freunden, Musikerkollegen und Journalisten. Das Buch enthält zahlreiche seltene Fotos, eine komplette Diskografie und ein Vorwort von Julian Cope. Syd Barrett, Sänger, Gitarrist und über- wiegend auch Songwriter von Pink Floyd seit ihren ersten Anfängen, verließ die Gruppe 1968 bereits nach drei Jahren. Wilde Geschichten über LSD-bedingten Wahn machten sogleich die Runde und wurden durch Barretts Rückzug in ein Leben in Abgeschiedenheit noch weiter angeheizt. Er trat nicht mehr auf, veröffent- lichte aber zwei Soloalben, die zu Kult- klassikern wurden, und noch jahrzehnte- lang beschäftigte sich die Musikpresse immer wieder mit der Frage 'Wo ist Syd?' Fans und Musikerkollegen sind sich darin einig, dass Syd Barrett einer der großen Pioniere des britischen Rock 'n' Pop gewesen ist. Der Song Shine On You Crazy Diamond ist eine Hommage seiner früheren Pink-Floyd-Kollegen an Barrett, der seine künstlerische Genialität stets kompromisslos ausleben wollte. Der Konformitätsdruck des Marktes jedoch stellte sich ebenso schlagartig ein wie der Erfolg beim Publikum. All dem war der 'Crazy Diamond' nicht gewachsen, und der zunehmende Drogenkonsum tat sein Übriges; der unvermeidliche Zusammen- bruch beendete die kurze Karriere des brillanten Musikers, der schon zu Lebzeiten eine Legende war. 'Eine akribisch genaue, eindringliche Darstellung von Syd Barretts Aufstieg, Fall und Einsamkeit. Syds Geschichte wird mit Sympathie und Verständnis erzählt.' (VOX)
