In this episode of the Fingal's Cave Podcast, we take a deeper look into the second part of the live and studio career of Roger Waters, beginning in 1999 with his return to touring “In The Flesh” after a 12 year hiatus.Guests Mike McCartney, Nils Zehnpfennig and Adam S. recount their experiences attending several Roger Waters shows between 1999 & 2008, as well as provide insights to what it was like being a fan in the Pink Floyd community at the time. It was fans taping soundchecks and holding up banners to "play the new song" which encouraged him to premiere a brand new track, Each Small Candle, at the last show on his 1999 tour; a song regarded as one of his finest works.Roger's creative output between 1999 to 2008 doesn't often correlate with his large scale tours, but many of these smaller gigs or studio tracks demonstrate Roger's continued prowess as a lyricist and musician, always employing the use of his touring or studio players in effective ways. You won't want to miss these insights into Roger's solo career during this period.
As AI takes over more intelligence tasks in B2B marketing, the real competitive advantage is shifting to something deeply human: judgment. In this week's episode of the B2B Marketing Podcast, Richard O'Connor, CEO of B2B Marketing, is joined by two keynote speakers from our upcoming B2B Ignite conference: Fiona McKenzie, President Europe at Marketbridge, and Nick Mason, CEO of Turtl. Together, they explore the shift from a knowledge economy to a judgment economy, and what it means for B2B marketers. The conversation examines how AI can help teams execute at scale while elevating the importance of human qualities such as instinct, taste, and strategic decision-making across content, buying groups, and complex go-to-market motions. The discussion also tackles the realities of "perfect-fit" marketing, why attribution will never be an exact science (and why that's okay), and how CMOs can build the trust needed to secure investment in brand and thought leadership. If you're looking to take ownership of the growth agenda and thrive in what could be a golden age for B2B marketing, this episode offers a practical roadmap. B2B Ignite takes place on 1 July in London.

Nick Mason is one of the founding members of Pink Floyd, the drummer behind one of the biggest bands in music history, and the owner of one of the most iconic car collections in the world.In this episode, Nick sits down to talk about the real story behind Pink Floyd, the success of The Dark Side of the Moon, the early days of the band, Syd Barrett, Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Live 8, touring the world, and what it was really like being part of one of the most influential bands ever.But Nick's story goes far beyond music. He also opens up about his lifelong love of cars, buying his Ferrari 250 GTO, lending his Ferrari Enzo to Top Gear, racing at Goodwood, owning a McLaren F1 GTR, his relationship with Ferrari, learning to fly, and why he still doesn't really see himself as a “rock star.”Don't forget to subscribe to our channel for more exciting content about your favourite shows and celebrities.

In 1988, a straight-to-VHS satanic panic horror film called Black Roses went nowhere fast. The movie itself is, by any honest assessment, terrible: bright red fake blood, rubber monster suits, Vincent Pastore as a concerned father, and a teacher who kills a possessed student with a tennis racket. What the film left behind, almost accidentally, was a soundtrack worth arguing about.The musicians behind the fictional band Black Roses are King Cobra's core lineup: Marcie Free, Mick Sweda, Carmine Appice, and Chuck Wright. They show up alongside Lizzy Borden, Bang Tango (in their first commercial recording ever, predating Psycho Cafe by a year), Tempest, Hallow's Eve, and a second King Kobra lineup featuring Johnny Edwards, who later sang for Foreigner. Metal Blade Records put full-page ads in every metal magazine. The CD now sells for $50 to $300 on Discogs. Patron Keith Miller paid $100 for his.This week, Jay, Tim, and Chip work through whether this is a hidden gem, a curiosity, or something more complicated: a record that does not fit the artist album model or the showcase compilation model, and lands somewhere between the two.
In this episode of the B2B Marketing Podcast, Richard O'Connor, CEO of B2B Marketing, is joined by Nick Mason, CEO & Founder of Turtl, to explore why traditional, lead‑centric B2B marketing models are breaking down and what needs to replace them. They kick off by unpacking Nick's opening slide for B2B Ignite, drawing parallels between the 1927 Solvay Conference and today's B2B marketing challenges, and arguing that the classic funnel and MQL mindset are no longer enough. Nick explains why marketers must focus on buying groups, intent signals, and “digital body language” to truly influence complex purchase journeys, and why a shared language between sales and marketing is critical to turning data into decisive action. He closes by calling for a new worldview in B2B marketing - one that's brave enough to abandon outdated paradigms in order to drive future growth.

In this latest edition of the podcast, Mick The Hat continues recounting his remarkable journey with Pink Floyd, continuing from where he left off with the final Wall show on June 17th, 1981 at Earl's Court. Beginning in 1984 with The Pros & Cons Of Hitchhiking tour, Mick's recollections as a Pink Floyd enthusiast and concert taper cover the early solo careers of Roger Waters and David Gilmour, continuing into Pink Floyd's final tour in 1994. Mick talks about how the desire for more Pink Floyd related records was at a peak in the mid 1980's, when many outside artists collaborated with members of the band before the “Dry Floyd” formed. Most notable is how a tape of David Gilmour playing Cliff Richard almost made it onto a bootleg vinyl, and currently has yet to be released.From accidentally flushing his contacts in a hotel room outside of Sweden, to running a Taxi Driver's toll fare up in New Jersey, finding himself in the sea of empty faces in Berlin, and witnessing after-gig road crew jams in Paris, Mick's stored and well-travelled recollections of this period is a story not to be missed.

A ne pas louper le 16 mai : le BREIZH PROG REUNION, évènement breton qui réunira deux excellentes formations de la région à St Nolff (Morbihan) et qui pour l'occasion ont ouvert et fermé ce numéro. Pour commencer, honneur à SAQUARRAH, les ainés nés en 1992 et qui joueront à domicile. Depuis leurs débuts, avec quelques changements de line-up ils ont produit un EP et trois albums. Le dernier opus en date remonte à 2024 et si vous avez loupé les diffusions d'extraits du très bon "The Runaway", séance de rattrapage dans ce numéro ! Avis aux amateurs de sons floydiens. La clôture (en beauté ! ) de cet épisode a été confiée à PRYZME, l'autre groupe du BREIZH PROG REUNION, qui vient du département de l'Ile et Vilaine. Une formation qui s'est installée sur pas mal d'années au cours de la dernière décennie pour aboutir à un 1er album "Four Inches", lequel a d'ailleurs également fait les belles soirées de cette émission en 2021. Pour les avoir vus sur scène, je peux vous assurer de la compétence de nos gaillards bretons ! Leur second album "True Stories … And Other Lies" est sorti il y a un an et j'espère bien que vous n'avez pas loupé les extrait diffusés dans Amarok ! Nouvel extrait en fin d'émission, avis aux mêmes amateurs de musiques floydiennes avec également des influences de Yes ou Pat Métheny. Un album d'une grande richesse musicale qui mérite son écoute en immersion ! Entre ces deux groupes dont vous me donnerez des nouvelles, une belle surprise, également hexagonale : ESTHESIS. Rappelez-vous le 26 juin, en toute fin de la dernière saison, je vous présentais le premier single "The Frame" du nouvel album "Out Of Step" alors à paraître à la rentrée. Depuis, cet excellentissime 3ème opus du projet d'Aurélien Goude accompagne la saison 2025-2026 (et elle n'est pas terminée !). Or, une nouvelle version de ce single est parue hier, bien différente de l'originale. Réalisée par Vincent Blanot, cette alternative se veut plus lourde et frontale que celle de l'album (plus hypnotique). Comme l'exprime Vincent, les deux faces d'une même pièce ! Vincent Blanot a pour l'occasion réenregistré bon nombres d'instruments. D'ailleurs ce n'est pas la première fois qu' Aurélien et Vincent collaborent, l'un sur un album de l'autre. Ah oui parce qu'il faut vous préciser que Vincent a aussi son projet, vous vous en souvenez sans doute car il a également été largement diffusé ici en son temps : BERLIN HEART, avec deux albums à son actif. Je dois avouer que j'étais assez dingue du 2ème "The Low Summit" sortie en 2022. Alors j'ai deux bonnes nouvelles concernant ces deux formations. ESTHESIS se produira à l'ALHAMBRA de Paris le 25 septembre et BERLIN HEART finalise son 3ème album. Vous pensez bien que je suis tout cela de près pour vous, vivement la prochaine saison ! En bonus, voici la vidéo de THE FRAME, BERLIN HEART REMIX ! Autre nouveauté mais cette fois totale pour moi car je ne connaissais pas DIFFERENT LIGHT. Formation à l'origine maltaise lors de sa création en 1994 et puis son fondateur Trevor Tabone s'est installé en République Tchèque, mettant en pause le projet pendant près de 10 ans. Il y reformera le groupe en 2008. En 2020 sort "Binary Suns Part 1 ", fort bien accueilli par la critique et il y a une dizaine de jours est parue la suite, "Binary Suns Part 2 - The Singularity" dont je vous présentais un 1er extrait dans ce numéro. Un rock progressif accessible, tirant vers la pop de bon goût. Une très belle découverte ! Ah au fait, sur leur CV, la première partie de Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets quand même !! Comme l'actu était riche pour cet épisode, peu de rock prog de 1ère génération mais quand même, j'ai trouvé une petite place pour RENAISSANCE avec un extrait de "A Song For All Seasons" de 1978. Un album respectable et courageux alors que déferlait les vagues punk et new wave ... Faut dire que la production en avait été confiée aux bons soins de David Hentschel (Genesis, Peter Hamill, George Harrison, Elton John, Mike Oldfield, et j'en passe ! ). L'extrait que ce numéro était même parvenu à se faire une belle place dans les charts britanniques ! Notre ami canadien ALEX HENRY FOSTER revient avec une "presque" nouveauté. Un single comme le précédent, enregistré live lors de sa tournée européenne (cette fois en Belgique à Bocholt, le 16 novembre 2025) et également paru sur vinyle "fait maison" par notre artiste qui a plus d'une corde à son arc créatif ! Pourquoi "presque nouveauté" ? Parce que ce titre avait été écrit par Alex pour son ancien groupe Favorite Ennemies (qu'il a quitté en 2016). Vous pouvez donc en écouter une version différente sur l'album "Beetween Illness And Migration" sorti par la formation en 2014. Cunégonde continue de se dévoiler tout au long de la saison. A moins de découvrir cette émission ce soir, vous n'êtes pas sans savoir que je parle évidemment du dernier album de notre groupe emblématique du rock progressif français : ANGE. Christian Décamps, vénérable membre fondateur de la formation a quitté la scène (avec brio) sur celle de l'Olympia l'année dernière et s'il reste présent sur ce nouvel opus c'est surtout à l'écriture, la voix de l'Ange étant désormais confiée principalement à la relève, dignement représentée par son fils Tristan. Le titre proposé dans ce numéro est particulier. "Un Passage De Rêve" est le seul titre dont le texte ne soit pas au moins co-écrit par Christian (d'ailleurs sur la longue carrière du groupe, les texte non écrits de sa main se comptent sur les doigts d'une seule ! ) Si la musique est signée du guitariste et vocaliste Hassan Hajdi et de Tristan, les paroles sont de la plume d'un certain Michel Buzon, poète précoce (1er écrits publiés à l'âge de 19 ans en 1976) , également chanteur à texte et journaliste. Un titre fort émouvant interprété avec toute la sensibilité de Christian Décamps. Un petit tour en Pologne avec le 3ème opus de RIVERSIDE, le groupe, sans doute le plus représentatif de la scène de cette contrée si éloignée des légendes anglaises et pourtant tellement imprégnée ! Nous sommes en 2007, le groupe publie "Rapid Eye Movement" dont je vous proposais un extrait ce soir. Pour l'anecdote, seulement deux ans plus tard, l'album sera republié avec des titres en bonus dont un reprenant un extrait de "Shine On You Crazy Dimaond" de Pink Floyd, pas très cool pour les fans qui ont du remettre la main à la poche … Une dernière fraicheur dans ce numéro, le 1er album d'un groupe allemand : "Home" par BLOSSOM CULT. Attention, on entre ici dans un univers très métal prog ! Je vous ai choisi un titre relativement "soft" pour y aller doucement ! Mais ne vous y trompez pas, ce ne sont pas des fous furieux non plus, la couleur de leur musique ne les empêche pas d'exprimer un panel d'émotions ! La polarisation politique, l'accélération technologique et la perte de repères sociaux sont les thèmes que se propose d'aborder les Blossom Cult sur leur premier opus, à écouter bien chez soi : "Home" ! Enfin, THE ALAN PARSONS PROJECT, l'autre formation 70's de ce numéro, également en 1978 avec un extrait de leur 3ème album "Pyramid". Une actu marquée par l'anniversaire de la première production de ce projet co-fondé par l'ingé-son d'Abbey Road Alan Parsons avec le musicien et parolier Eric Woolfson. Cet été marquera en effet le cinquantième anniversaire du premier album d'APP : "Tales Of Mystery And Imagination" paru le 2 juillet 1976. A cette occasion plusieurs albums du groupe sont réédités en vinyle comme en CD. Par ailleurs un ouvrage biographique de la fille d'Eric Woolfson (décédé en 2009) est sur le point d'être publié en espérant une traduction française ! Thierry Joigny AMAROK, chaque jeudi, à 20h
In the final part of our detailed conversation with Greg Taylor, he reflects on the last Pink Floyd concerts he attended during the post-Barrett years, spanning 1969 to 1971. From the early days of the band's pioneering surround sound system at The Dome in Brighton in 1969, Greg takes us through a vivid period of cultural change and personal creative growth. As an emerging avant-garde artist, Greg became increasingly driven to document what he was witnessing, recording live performances, taking photographs, and even capturing footage of Hyde Park 1970 on Super 8 film. Greg's resourcefulness placed him closer to the action than most. Whether blending in with a makeshift press pass or positioning recording equipment on stage, Greg experienced key moments in Pink Floyd's evolution with rare immediacy. One standout memory comes from a bold decision to head backstage during an interval, leading to an unexpected encounter when Richard Wright answered the dressing room door. This concluding episode offers a fascinating, first-hand perspective on a transitional era for Pink Floyd, as they moved through experimentation towards the defining successes that would follow. Subscribe for more episodes, and we would love to read your own memories or questions in the comments. Part 2 of The Legend of Mick The Hat arrives next month.

In Part 2 of our in-depth conversation with Greg Taylor, we turn to Pink Floyd's concerts in 1968, as Greg recalls a series of extraordinary performances he witnessed during that transitionary year.At the centre of the episode is Greg's vivid recollection of the 19 January 1968 concert at Lewes Town Hall, a rare performance featuring the short-lived five-man Pink Floyd line-up with Syd Barrett and David Gilmour both on stage. Greg remembers the evening in remarkable detail, from the character of the hall itself and the local promoter who organised the event, to the backstage atmosphere and the stories that have survived from that night.Most striking of all is Greg's memory of David Gilmour positioned slightly behind Syd Barrett on stage, ready to step forward if Syd stopped playing. It is a fascinating glimpse of Pink Floyd at a fragile moment, still carrying Syd's creative, painterly vision while beginning to adapt to the possibility of continuing without it.The conversation then moves through recollections of several other memorable performances from 1968, including the Falmer House Courtyard show at the University of Sussex in May, the Midsummer High weekend concert in June at Hyde Park, (where Greg captured remarkable photographs of the band at close range), and Middle Earth at the Roundhouse in October.Greg also talks about taping some of the Floyd's BBC sessions, photographing concerts as a teenager, and the atmosphere of the British underground music scene in the late 1960s.If you are interested in early Pink Floyd, Syd Barrett, psychedelic London, and the live music culture of the late 1960s, Greg's memories offer a rare, intimate, first-hand window into that world.Subscribe for more episodes, and we would love to hear your own recollections or questions in the comments. Part 3 on Greg's journey through 1969 - 1971 premieres next month, so don't miss it!

In this first installment of our conversation with Greg Taylor, Ian Priston explores what it means to remember a cultural moment from the inside, not as nostalgia, but as lived perception. Greg reconstructs his introduction to Pink Floyd through a series of encounters: a poster on King's Road, the underground press, the first shock of a single, and the genuinely unfamiliar experience of the Floyd's early vision performed amid kinetic sculpture and liquid light. Rather than treating Syd Barrett era Floyd as a set of canonical artefacts, Greg's incredible recollections move between the tangible (equipment, ticketing, sight-lines and the physical layout of venues) as well as the interpretative (Barrett's “painterly” logic in sound, the band's rejection of conventional stage charisma and the early tension between pop, mainstream visibility and avant-garde intent). Part 1 ends with the story still in motion, moving towards Greg's attendance of a five-man Floyd Concert in January 1968 and the next phase of the group's evolution. Part 2 arrives next month, so stay tuned!Subscribe for more, and share your own recollections or questions in the comments.

We at The Wolf are excited to present our 250th episode of UAWIL and want to take a moment to thank all our loyal listeners & social media followers. Building this show and the community of fellow rock fans has been such a fun and sometimes magical adventure around the world these past 5 years. We want to express our sincere thanks for coming on the journey with us. Also, we like to do big guests on our 50th shows - Ryan Condal EP of House of the Dragon Ep 50, Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets live (after welcoming Gary Kemp and Guy Pratt on earlier to promote the show) Ep 100, Steve Kilbey of The Church Ep 150 and Steve Howe of Yes Ep 200. And we are proud to welcome one of rock music's most celebrated and contracted cover artists, Hugh Syme. Hugh is best known for his work with Rush over 50 years as their first collaboration, Caress of Steel, is 50 this year. We learned from Hugh first hand how his original piece of art was given the sepia tone at print which we all know and the songs which inspired the front and back covers. We hear about working with Neil Peart, Bob Ezrin, David Coverdale, Jimmy Page and the many models he immortalized with iconic album covers. Hugh is also an accomplished musician in his own right and talks about recording with Rush, working with former guest of UAWIL Jim McCarty of The Yardbirds and jamming with Aerosmith. We found Hugh to be soft spoken yet wryly funny as he related tales of living in London as a teenager, working as a musician in Toronto, and the 80s and 90s living in LA when it was the heart of the music business. And for you Rush fans, listen until the end as he announces he just submitted his artwork for an upcoming Rush anniversary reissue of one of our favorite 1980's Rush records. We had a delightful conversation with Hugh and we hope you enjoy it. Thanks again for all the support these 250 episodes - it means the world to us. Can we make it to 1,000??? Time will tell but if you keep listening and telling us what you want to hear about, we'll keep making them. Thank you all!!

In this episode of Fingal's Cave, host Ian Priston talks with Steve Anderson - creator of the iconic Floydboots website, visited over a million times by collectors, and author of the 2024 book Wizardo: Stories of a Bootlegger.Steve reflects on five decades of Pink Floyd: from being a 12-year-old at Wembley Empire Pool in November 1974 and the heartbreak of his prized Stoke bootleg being broken - to the challenge of hunting down and thrill of listening to rare titles. He recalls leaving home at 3am from Knebworth 1975, the ferocity and spectacle of the Animals tour, the monumental experience of The Wall shows, and meeting the band at the premiere of The Wall film.Steve also shares two extraordinary encounters with Syd Barrett in the 1990s - fleeting but unforgettable glimpses of the band's elusive founding genius. Along the way, he discusses Barrett superfan the late Bernard White, the legacy of John Wizardo, his adventures as a record dealer, and the time he was offered Roger Waters' Live at Pompeii bass. It is a fascinating story of how a lifetime can be shaped by music, soundtracked by Pink Floyd. This episode is in stereo - because, well, it just had to be. And if you think you hear a fly buzzing, dogs wanting attention, or even church bells chiming in the distance… you are not imagining things. Consider them accidental Pink Floyd–style sound effects.Subscribe to Fingal's Cave for more journeys to the edges of Pink Floyd music history.

It's hard to imagine being in Pink Floyd in 1975. 1973's Dark Side of the Moon had not only achieved high praise from the critics but had sold better than most any album ever recorded. Nick Mason, Rick Wright, Roger Waters and David Gilmour had soared to extraordinary heights thanks to their balance of technological experimentation, their examination of modern capitalistic life and Waters' biting lyrics. They had plenty of money and adoring fans. The only worry was what to do next. For months they noodled around Abbey Road Studios (EMI Studio at the time) trying to find new inspiration; apparently while they drank each other under the table. Engineers and producers were sacked in an attempt to capture their greatness and harness all the capabilities of the latest available technology. Out of that came Wish You Were Here - an album that may not receive the praise (or sales) of Dark Side or The Wall but is perhaps their most listenable effort of the 1970s and a favorite among Gilmour and Wright. The very progressive and Floydian suite Shine On You Crazy Diamond Parts 1-5 start the album by creating an atmosphere of awe and wonder. Waters lyrics describe their former bandmate Syd Barrett; their former leader who had lost a battle with his own schizophrenia which led to the boys not encountering him for 7 years. However, in an odd twist of fate Syd made it to EMI during the mixing of the album with a shaved head, shaved eyebrows and weighing more than double than when they'd last seen him. It all adds to the mystery and legacy of Syd and Pink Floyd. Before the 6-9 suite of Crazy Diamond, we are treated to some wonderful Pink Floyd classics. Welcome to the Machine offers mechanical noises and dismal lyrics to not only warn of but welcome the new entries into the military industrial complex. The acoustic Wish You Were Here is a sweet yet remorseful song about lost friendship and the unfortunate changes that come with growing up and growing old. Have A Cigar is a very cheeky view of the music business but as neither Waters or Gilmour could quite pull off the right tone, they employed old friend Roy Harper to provide the vocals. All three are classic rock staples and songs the band would perform together and as solo artists throughout their careers. Often overlooked compared to the other Floyd output of the 1970s, we find this has aged well, is still very listenable and is as poignant as ever 50 years later.

In this episode of the Fingal's Cave Podcast, host Nils Zehnpfennig and guests Mike McCartney, Joe Krist and special guest Bjorn Riis from Gilmourish.com celebrate 40 years of David Gilmour's live performances.We begin by exploring Bjorn's musical background and the influence of Gilmour, Pink Floyd, and other bands on his sound. We then trace the evolution of Gilmour's tone, gear and style throughout his solo career and his time with Pink Floyd from 1968 to 1994.We start the discussion with Gilmour's 1978 debut and his decision not to tour. We then take an in-depth look at the About Face tour in 1984 and reflect on the chaotic Ecomundo show in Colombia in 1992.We also revisit the acclaimed On an Island tour of 2006, discussing the stellar band, the wonderful set list, and the unforgettable performance of 'Echoes'.A decade later, Gilmour returned with Rattle That Lock. We explore the differences between that tour and the one in 2006, including the surprise mid-tour line-up changes, and we discuss the somewhat underwhelming Pompeii shows in 2016.Finally, we talk about his latest album, Luck and Strange, and the short tour that followed. We also reflect on his four decades of live music and celebrate a legendary career that continues to inspire many of us.

Lee Harris, the founder and guitarist of the successful band ‘Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secret' was our first interview guest almost two years ago.

Pink Floyd's 'Animals', a lyrically dark, musically dense concept album loosely based on George Orwell's 'Animal Farm', is as eerily precient today as it was when first released in 1977. Rob and this week's guest, Portland, Oregon songwriter and multi-instrumentalist James Cook (Trashcan Joe, Captain's Audio Project), take a deep dive into this sweepingly nihilistic classic. Songs discussed in this episode: Pigs On The Wing (Pink Floyd Cover) - Chrome; Waiting For The Moon, Really Hard To Find - Captain's Audio Project; Breathe (In The Air) - Pink Floyd; Rise Above - Black Flag; Pigs On The Wing (Part One), Astronomy Domine, Dogs, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Dogs, Pigs (Three Different Ones), Sheep, Pigs On The Wing (Part Two) - Pink Floyd; A Little Bit Here - Trashcan Joe; Satan Wrote This Song - Captain's Audio Project
Folks, we're stretching a bit on this one. Lynch noticed that Roger Waters performed "The Wall" at the Berlin wall in this month, and used that as an excuse to feature A Momentary Lapse of Reason, which was the latest studio album by Pink Floyd. Since that originally came out in 1987, we're asking you to squint a bit to see it's relevance to the summer of 1990. That being said...A Momentary Lapse of Reason is the first Pink Floyd album released after bassist and primary songwriter Roger Waters left the band. Waters had expected that Pink Floyd would simply disband, and was surprised when David Gilmour and Nick Mason decided to continue without him. Acrimony and lawsuits appeared, but in the end a Water-less Pink Floyd continued on.Unlike many prior Pink Floyd albums, this one is not playing off a single concept. Instead, it is a more traditional collection of songs. Gilmour presented the album as a return to earlier Pink Floyd material, which was perhaps a reaction to common critiques of their previous album "The Final Cut" as a Roger Waters solo effort masquerading as a Pink Floyd album. There are a number of well-known session musicians that participated in the making of this album.The album was a commercial success, debuting at number 3 on both the US and UK albums charts. The US tour was the most successful of the year, selling out almost every venue it played in the States. Roger Water's lawsuits would be overcome, and a settlement was reached between Waters and the band by the end of 1987.Lynch brings us this Pink Floyd reboot album for today's podcast and we're joined by guest host Julie Doran joins us on this episode. On the Turning AwayThis power ballad was co-written by Gilmour and British experimental composer Anthony Moore. It is an anti-war song, one of the more political Pink Floyd songs written since the departure of Waters. It begins with a solemn Gilmour vocal supported by understated keyboards, then builds to an almost orchestral conclusion. Learning to FlyA surprisingly upbeat song for the group, the inspiration for this first single is David Gilmour's experience learning to fly airplanes. At the time he would do practice flights in the mornings and work in the studio in the afternoons. It is also a metaphor for the band coming back together after splitting with Roger Waters.One SlipThe fourth US single discusses the long-term consequences of a one-night stand, and contains the lyrics that would become the title to the album as a whole. Gilmour co-wrote this song with Roxy Music guitarist Phil Manzanera. Fans of bassist Tony Levin may recognize his work on a Chapman Stick in the instrumentation for this track. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Real Wild Child by Iggy Pop (from the motion picture “Problem Child”)This dark comedy starring John Ritter follows the trials of Ben Healy Jr. as he adopts a less-than-model child from a questionable adoption agency. STAFF PICKS:Stop by Jane's AddictionWayne leads off the staff picks with a college radio hit off the "Ritual De Lo Habitual" album. Lead singer Perry Farrell warns about apathy towards environmental disaster, telling people to turn off the smokestacks. "And the water will run, come a day, the water will run, no man will stand for things he had done."Brave New World by Michael PennRob brings us a jangly deeper cut with a song with rapid fire lyrics off Penn's "March" album. The song reflects confusion in where the singer is going, perhaps making a commentary on society as it heads into a "brave new world." "This may not be my best day, but this ain't no golden age. You looked pretty on the freeway. Let's drive into the brave new world."Give It Up by Hothouse FlowersBruce features a s song from an Irish group off their second album, "Home." This song that went to number 2 on the US Modern Rock chart is summed up in the lyrics, "Well, this song's inspired by a good man and his tune doing good for others, sing 'Amazing Grace' for you." Rub You the Right Way by Johnny GillJulie's staff pick is an upbeat hip hop song, and Gill's first single after he left New Edition earlier in the year. Despite the lyrics, Gill was the son of a minister and got his start in gospel music. He signed with Motown as a teenager. Gill had become very accustomed to performing live, and had a difficult time switching to studio work. Blue Sky Mine by Midnight OilLynch closes out the staff picks with the first single off Midnight Oil's seventh studio album. The inspiration for the song was the experience of workers in the Wittenoom asbestos mines in western Australia, where they contracted a variety of asbestos-related diseases. The "blue" in the title refers to "blue asbestos," a form of the mineral considered most hazardous.

Gary Kemp is clearly a busy man. He's got his podcast, The Rockonteurs, with fellow musician Guy Pratt, his tour with Nick Mason's (Pink Floyd) band Saucerful of Secrets, and acting with his brother Martin Kemp in their most recent mockumentary, The Kemps: All Gold. He's also added a new album to his discography, This Destination. The album finds Gary in a reflective mood, looking back on life with his family and band mates. Does this mean he wants to reform his 80s band, Spandau Ballet? We talk about it all as Gary joins us on What Difference Does It Make?: A (Mostly) 80s Music Podcast. Learn more about your ad choices.
