PINK FLOYD
THE RETURN OF THE '70s
BEST OF ’871/'88: The eagerly-awaited A Momentary Lapse Of Reason. PROFILE: With a streamlined membership—vocalist/guitarist David Gilmour, drummer Nick Mason and bassist Rick Wright—the legendary arena-rock group is back with their latest LP and first proper tour in 10 years. The monumental disc and tour are ample evidence that the conceptualists are in classic form as they near their 20th anniversary.
GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT:
Dark Side Of The Moon which, astonishingly, has been in the Billboard Top 200 for over 710 consecutive weeks. BIGGEST CONTRIBUTION TO SCIENCE: Floyd was the first band to record—and the only band to ever perform—in quadraphonic sound. Their original quad pan board is in England’s science museum.
BIGGEST PAIN: Expatriate Roger
Waters—who recently released his Floydlike solo LP, Radio K.A.O.S.—is suing the band for operating under the Pink Floyd moniker.
QUOTE: “I don’t like drawing parallels to classical music, but to some extent we enabled people’s imaginations to be turned on in a way that you can’t with a short single with very specified lyrics about ‘Gotta get you baby.’ ”
Nick Mason
