Nick Mason : Unattended Luggage Boxset Out Today !!

Pink Floyd - A Fleeting Glimpse Posted on 31/08/2018 by Col T02/12/2019
Nick Mason Boxset

Released Today is ‘Unattended Luggage‘, a three album CD or vinyl box set Nick’s albums ‘Fictitious Sports‘, ‘Profiles‘ and ‘White of the Eye‘.

These limited edition box sets will be available shortly before our acclaimed new band Saucerful Of Secrets begin their European tour at Cirkus in Stockholm on September 2nd.

“‘Profiles‘ and ‘White of the Eye‘ were an extension of working with Rick Fenn on some advertising and short documentary film soundtracks, which then developed into something more.

“Listening back after 30 odd years, I’m delighted they are getting the reissue treatment. I’m rather hoping that sales will be sufficient to damage the market in the original rare vinyl versions!” – Nick Mason

The three individual albums will all be available as a download and through streaming platforms.

The box sets can be ordered online by clicking here

Nick Mason : Answers Fans Questions In The New Edition Of Uncut Magazine

Pink Floyd - A Fleeting Glimpse Posted on 20/08/2018 by Col T02/09/2018


Pink Floyd
drummer Nick Mason is the latest musician to face a grilling by the readers in the new issue of Uncut.

In a candid and wide-ranging chat, he discusses his soon-to-be re-released solo projects, producing The Damned, what’s in the Pink Floyd archives, and the formation of his new ‘early Floyd’ band Saucerful Of Secrets

“What I didn’t really want to do was go out as another version of Pink Floyd and play the best of Dark Side and so on,” says Mason. “All this other material was there, lying dormant, and could be interpreted in a slightly different way… No, I didn’t ask [Roger Waters and David Gilmour] to join in, because that would be Pink Floyd. But I did tell them what I was proposing to do, as 
good manners, and I have to say both of them were supportive – which I found slightly disturbing! ‘Yeah, go ahead, make a fool of yourself…’ 
I know David has looked at 
a lot of it online.”

Asked if there’s anything left in the Pink Floyd vault, Mason replies: “Not much! I think there’s a re-release of Animals planned – it’s a record that would benefit from remastering. After many years of Abbey Road and Air Studios, this was done on a much more funky level, in our own studio. So it perhaps lacked a bit of that sharpness and sparkle you get from Abbey Road.”

Another reader wonders why Pink Floyd snubbed Stanley Kubrick when he asked to use some of “Atom Heart Mother” in A Clockwork Orange. “Probably because he wouldn’t let us do anything for 2001,” says Mason. “It sounds a bit petulant! I don’t remember whether he did ask for something from Atom Heart Mother. We’d have loved to have got involved with 2001 – we thought it was exactly the sort of thing we should be doing the soundtrack for.”

Naturally the questioning eventually turns to the subject of potential Floyd reunions. “You’re asking the wrong person!” claims Mason, although he refused to rule anything out. “I saw a quote where someone said, ‘On my tombstone it’ll say: I’m still not sure it’s quite over…”

The October 2018 issue of Uncut is now on sale in the UK – with Jimi Hendrix on the cover. Elsewhere in the issue, you’ll find exclusive features on Spiritualized, Aretha Franklin, Richard Thompson, Soft Cell, Pink Floyd, Candi Staton, Garcia Peoples, Beach Boys, Mudhoney, Big Red Machine and many more. Our free CD showcases 15 tracks of this month’s best new music, including Beak>, Low, Christine And The Queens, Marissa Nadler and Eric Bachman.

Nick Mason : On the Impetus Behind Saucerful of Secrets, His New Band Focusing on Early Pink Floyd

Pink Floyd - A Fleeting Glimpse Posted on 06/08/2018 by Col T13/08/2018

Up until recently, it would have appeared that Pink Floyd’s founding drummer, Nick Mason, was semi-retired from music. It has been four years since the release of Floyd’s last studio album, The Endless River. With a few rare exceptions—such as when he guested at Roger Waters’ 2011 The Wall show, and appeared with Ed Sheeran to play the closing ceremony at the 2012 Olympics—Mason hadn’t performed in public for an extended period of time; Pink Floyd’s last major tour was for The Division Bell album nearly 25 years ago.

That recently changed for the 74-year-old drummer, the only member of Pink Floyd who has performed on all of the band’s studio albums. This past May, he played four intimate concerts in London with his new band, Saucerful of Secrets. The setlist for those shows concentrated on Pink Floyd’s early years—especially songs with founding singer/guitarist Syd Barrett – more than the commercially successful post-Dark Side of the Moon material. Following those gigs, Mason and Saucerful of Secrets— which consists of guitarist Lee Harris, longtime Floyd touring bassist Guy Pratt, Spandau Ballet guitarist Gary Kemp, and keyboardist Dom Beken—will embark on an 21-date European tour starting Sept. 2 in Stockholm.
