Pink Floyd - A Fleeting Glimpse Posted on 27/08/2022 by Col T27/08/2022

In 1972 whilst touring Japan with Pink Floyd, Nick Mason became inspired by the Japanese landscapes and subsequent art decor surrounding the various landmarks the band visited.

During 1973 Nick mason commissioned artist Katy Hepburn to paint his 1973 Ludwig kit with Japanese artwork influenced directly from the works of Katsushika Hokusa who was the leading expert on Chinese painting in Japan.

For the current 2022 Saucerful of Secrets tour, Nick Mason has debuted a brand new updated version of his original kit, based loosely on a DW drum set. Nick commissioned artist Katy Hepburn, who painted the original kit, to resurrect this piece of artwork.

Pink Floyd - A Fleeting Glimpse Posted on 22/08/2022 by Col T22/08/2022

Ian Ritchie producer of Roger Waters 1987 Radio K.A.O.S album and saxophone player in Rogers touring arsenal 2006 – 2018 has just announced a new album. As an added bonus fans will also be excited to know Snowy White appears on a few songs.

In a statement released “ I have a new album out now! I am very excited about this release. It was recorded during the UK lockdown of 2021 and features some of the tunes I composed for my Dollis Chill Facebook broadcasts. As well as myself on a range of instruments the album also features guitar legend Snowy White on a couple of tunes.

The great Pete Thoms can be heard on trombone on four of the tracks, as can the excellent young drummer Jack Thomas.

The songs themselves are in a variety of styles ranging from rock and funk to world and reggaeton grooves. There is still a jazz element but that is much less to the fore than on my previous SOHO Project releases.“

The CD is only available by ordering via mail order from Ian’s official website using PayPal.

He has noted that there are no plans to make it available as a download or on any of the streaming services.
The cost of the CD is £12, which includes postage and packing worldwide.

A Fleeting Glimpse Competition : Win A Handmade Bespoke One Off Radio K.A.O.S Analog Wall Clock

Pink Floyd - A Fleeting Glimpse Posted on 18/08/2022 by Col T18/08/2022

Radio K.A.O.S. is the second solo studio album by English rock musician and former Pink Floyd member Roger Waters. Released on 15 June 1987 in the United Kingdom and June 16 in the United States, it was Waters’ first solo album after his formal split from Pink Floyd in 1985. Like his previous and future studio albums and many works of his during his time with Pink Floyd, the album is a concept album based on many key topical subjects of the late 1980s, including monetarism and its effect on citizens, popular culture of the time, and the events and consequences of the Cold War. It also makes criticisms of Margaret Thatcher’s government, much like Pink Floyd’s The Final Cut, another album conceived by Waters.

The album follows Billy, a mentally and physically disabled man from Wales, forced to live with his uncle David in Los Angeles after his brother Benny was sent to prison after an act intended to support striking coal miners results in the death of a taxi driver, following his dismissal from his mining job due to “market forces.” The album explores Billy’s mind and view on the world through an on-air conversation between him and Jim, a disc jockey at a local fictitious radio station named Radio KAOS.

Last year we launched a celebration series in which we spoke to band members of the recording and touring band, including showcasing never before seen photography from the supporting tour, along with a few surprises thrown in.

Part 1 of our celebration was released on 10th August 2021 features an article entitled “Getting Back To Radio Kaos” which you can read by clicking here
