@hllymchll ... a VERY fine recording indeed, Ms. Michelle :)
.
Just a few weeks back I played some PF demo's including the original mix of WYWH. It was brilliant to hear the origins of how the song was perceived prior to getting the producers and engineers involved. While it is really great, it lacks the looooooooong fading out after that 4th Gilmore note that builds the intro. That fading sustain that builds that incredible anticipation of the next set of notes. When I was very young, born in '64, I did not get into PF at the time. I was into Van Halen, Rush, April Wine, Black Sabbath and many other groups, but for all the talk of PF, I just never gave them a chance in HS days :( However, when I finally got around to really listening to them, I quickly learned what all the fuss was about for all those years :) I am now a HUGE Floyd fan and am still in awe with every listen I afford to their music.

One record I highly recommend, if you have not already gotten into it, is Roger Waters Amused To Death . It is an absolutely BRILLIANT piece of music and maybe picks up where The Final Cut left off, but certainly some of its inspiration. I recommend sitting quietly in a completely dark room and relax for a few minutes, maybe a dog or cat sleeping on your lap :) and then begin the CD. I have always described it as the "perfect meal" of a recording. A small salad, little bowl of soup, the entree and a wonderful glass of red wine then a nice satisfying desert before a finishing cup of coffee (not a coffee drinker myself, but many like to close a good meal that way... lol). Just like with PF material, there is just sooooo much going on and will take many, many listens before you really get your soul around the complete message of what that record is saying. BTW.... Jeff Beck plays guitar on that record, so certainly worth a listen for that reason alone ;)
