Pink Floyd A Fleeting Glimpse

Now in its 14th big year, Pink Floyd A Fleeting Glimpse continues to attract new audiences. The site is widely acknowledged as a great source for Floyd news and has picked up a massive cult following over the years. A Fleeting Glimpse (Or AFG as its become known) is used by a cross section of the Floyd/Waters online community, including new fans & crusty old fossils, who spend all their life researching Floyd. I fit into the latter category by the way, having been a Floyd fan since 1966. My name is Col Turner, and I run this site on behalf of fans all over the planet. Without your contributions the site could not exist. If you have anything Floyd related that you think may be of interest, drop us a line (col@pinkfloydz.com) Don't forget, in the best Pink Floyd tradition, there are several hidden links on this site, can you find them?

2012 Year Of The Rumour (Rumor If You Live In The USA) First it was Pink Floyd at the Olympics, then David Gilmour in the recording studio, now we are informed that Guitar World Magazine (February edition) has implied (by the use of sloppy editing) that there is going to be an Experience and Immersion release of Meddle this year. All three stories are JUST NOT TRUE and that has been OFFICIALLY confirmed.

David Gilmour Working On New Album? There have been a number of rumours circulating in recent days that David Gilmour is in the recording studio working on a new album. (It's also rumoured that he will tour in 2012/13). We have can now tell you that despite some web sites and media outlets claiming this it is true it's 100% certain that this is false and this is OFFICIAL!

Rumour Denied David Gilmour has officially denied that Pink Floyd will be reforming their classic line-up to play at this summer's Olympic Games in London. A report in the London Evening Standard on January 3 claimed that the band were set to reconvene for their first official performance since Live 8 in 2005 but that story is pure fiction.

The Wall For Europe in 2013? Roger Waters has told Rolling Stone that he *may* take his epic masterpiece The Wall back to Europe in 2013. When asked if the 2012 tour was to be his last, Roger said "They wanted me to go back to Europe after I finish this August* and I've said, "No, I'm not going to do that." But The Wall is an extraordinarily satisfying piece to perform, so it may well be that I go back to Europe in 2013. I have no idea whether it's the last big tour. I just don't know". *As Roger's 2012 tour is officially scheduled to end on 14th July in Philadelphia it's left us wondering if Roger made a Floydian slip by saying August and that more dates will be added for 2012? Keep checking back as we will be keeping a careful watch!

Alan Styles Passes We are sad to report that Alan Styles, long time Pink Floyd main roadie for many years, died on December 8th at the age of 75. He passed away in a US hospital after suffering with pneumonia. Alan had recently moved to the USA and his sister Ann said he passed peacefully there. Alan of course was the subject of Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast on Atom Heart Mother and also appeared on the back cover of Ummagumma. Our condolences to friends & family.

Robbie Wyckoff New Album Hot off the success of “The Wall” tour with Roger Waters, the man with the golden voice Robbie Wyckoff brings his soulful rock sound to the mainstream. For those of you who have already seen and heard Robbie in action at a Wall show, you will know that this man has an incredible voice. Now here is your chance to grab a copy of his new album. 'Lose Control' (With thanks for the heads up to loyal Robbie fan Julie) You can read a lot more about Robbie on his OFFICIAL SITE and if you haven't read it already (or even if you have) read (or read again) our EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW from earlier this year.

The Raging Storm - Our View Some weeks ago we brought you the news of Storm Thorgerson's new book The Raging Storm (Co-written with Peter Curzon). Well we finally got around to sticking our nose in this latest offering from Stormstudios and have to say were more than impressed. The first thing that grabs you is the landscape format, it's very much like opening a gatefold album (Ah, those were the days!) and so you get a much wider view of the graphics. And what graphics they are! The book is PACKED with images 'executed' (Storm's word) over the last 4 years. Just about all images are accompanied by explanations from Storm and, true to his style, are hilarious. This is not a Pink Floyd book, but images associated with them are liberally interspersed throughout. In addition, also featured are Biffy Clyro, Pendulum, Wombats, Shpongle, Disco Biscuits, Powderfinger, Muse, Steve Miller and Pink Floyd and many others. It's 160 pages of pure magnificence and can be ordered direct from TheRagingStorm HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
