SOUNDS LIKE FLOYD
VA - Floydian Moments (A Butterboy Compilation) CD1+CD2+CD3
Pink Floyd is a legendary rock band that pioneered the genre of progressive rock. Their sound is distinctive and influential, featuring psychedelic and experimental elements, such as sound effects, unusual time signatures, and extended jams. Their lead guitarist, David Gilmour, is known for his expressive and melodic guitar playing, using various effects pedals, such as delay, reverb, chorus, and distortion.
One of the factors that makes their sound so enticing is their use of synthesizers and keyboards, especially the Hammond organ, the Mellotron, and the VCS 3, to create atmospheric and experimental sounds. Another factor is their incorporation of sound effects, such as clocks, cash registers, helicopters, and voices, to enhance the themes and concepts of their albums. A third factor is their exploration of musical genres, such as blues, folk, jazz, classical, and electronic, to create diverse and innovative compositions. A fourth factor is their mastery of songwriting and arrangement, especially the use of contrast, dynamics, and harmony, to create emotional and powerful songs. A fifth factor is their expression of social and political commentary, such as war, education, consumerism, and mental illness, to challenge and inspire their listeners. We all love Pink Floyd, for many reasons. With their unique, psychedelic soundscapes and thought-provoking concept albums, they left an indelible mark on the music industry.
There are many bands that have the same sonic qualities and at times even sound like Pink Floyd. It is not surprising that with a 50+ year career that they have had a strong influence over many bands that followed them. Consequently, there are many bands that have that Floydian sound.
Here are 60 Tracks that have those wonderful Floydian Moments. The one track that you can't help but listen to and think, is that a Pink Floyd track.
Expect to have a unique experience with distant keyboard synths, a steady centering bass, reverberating drum sounds, intimate acoustic guitar scrapes, yearning vocals, and time stretching guitar solos all in one track.
Enjoy!

So interesting that you just posted this comp after I was listening to, as this video [https://youtube.com/shorts/ykLuCE_8iAw?si=STasQBFfuLC8Udpj] says is, like, the best Floyd album Floyd *never made*, just the other day...[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Season] I think you might like it.
ReplyDeleteHi Fredrick Beondo.
DeleteI hope you like this compilation.
It's weird how sometime thing materialize after thinking about it or when something is mentioned.
Thank you for the link. I just listened to it. I feel it has a similar song structure of a Pink Floyd track but the sound does not seem so to me. The last 5 minutes is really cool.
Cheers.
Some very welcome surprises like Bo Hansson & Amon Düül II. The Tangerine Dream one put me off TD back when it was released, but your comps are soooo inventively good that it hardly makes a dent. Thanks for the time and effort (and love!) you put into these.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the set, rostasi.
DeleteIt's easy to listen to.
Cheers.
BB In 1967 I was on a tv show in England called Come Here Often with about 15-20 kids from school and Pink Floyd were the musical guests. We sat on the floor in a semi-circle and they played in front of us. There was coloured lights behind them and that all I remember. It may have been live but I expect it was miming.
ReplyDeleteAlways liked their music from Arnold Layne on. I will listen to this and imagine. Thanks
Fantastic, lemonflag.
DeleteI was 12 then.
What a treat. You may like the "Tyrnaround - Colour Your Mind" track.
"Arnold Layne" and "See Emily Pla" are great tracks...
Cheers.
