Pink Floyd: Momentary Lapses - The True Story Of...
Meddle is still considered top be the first album without Syd Barrett to really work as a whole. with a fantastic crew of insiders including John 'Hoppy' Hopkins; founder of the UFO club and guitar legend Andy Roberts who played with Floyd plus excellent archive performance footage we explore the album both Gilmour and Mason saw as the true beginning of Pink Floyd.
Disc 1 - Pink Floyd's Piper At the Gates of Dawn: Pink Floyd's debut album Piper at the Gates of Dawn epitomized the remarkable year of 1967 and is today considered to be a prime example of English psychedelia. The album's tracks predominantly written by Barrett showcase poetic and surreal lyrics often referring to folklore (such as The Gnome). Recorded at Abbey Road the album reflected the new technologies in electronics through its prominent use of stereo panning and electric keyboards. Disc 2 - Pink Floyd's Atom Heart Mother: Atom Heart Mother was Pink Floyd's first number one album. Ambitious and challenging the main title piece was an extended instrumental suite co-written and arranged by avant-garde composer Ron Geesin. Thirty-five years on Ron Geesin revisits the work and describes the circumstances surrounding the creation of the album. We also hear the views of David Gilmour Roger Waters and Nick Mason. Also included are reviews of performances of the prototype work The Amazing Pudding performed by Pink Floyd without the orchestra from radio and television archives and rare radio archive recordings of Floyd performing of Fat Old Sun. Disc 3 - Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here: Wish You Were Here was released in September 1975 as the follow up to Dark Side Of The Moon - a pretty hard act to follow but in many respects this amazing new album outshone its illustrious predecessor. Shine On You Crazy Diamond with its majestic introduction is arguably the finest recording in the entire Pink Floyd career. On this flawless album every track pulls its weight and the title track Wish You Were Here which was revived for Live 8 has gone on to achieve classic status.
This is the collector's edition of Dances With Wolves featuring the 3 disc special edition as well as a host of collectible extra features. Rewarded for his heroism in the Civil War Lt. John Dunbar (Costner) wants to see the American Frontier before it is gone. He is assigned to an abandoned fort where a Sioux tribe is his only neighbour. Overcoming the language barrier and their mutual fear and distrust Dunbar and the proud Indians gradually become friends. Eventually he falls in love with the beautiful Stands With A Fist (McDonnell) a white woman raised by the tribe. He learns the culture of the Sioux lives with them and even experiences the breathtaking excitement of a buffalo hunt but his knowledge of the fate that will ultimately befall the tribe torments him. Finally he is faced with a crucial decision that will cause him to examine his heart and soul before making a heroic choice that determines his destiny.
At the beginning of Thumbtanic, thumb-puppet/animation maestro Steve Oedekerk's superb parody of Titanic, the camera pans over the wreckage of the, err, Thumbtanic, revealing a quantity of unopened crates marked HULL PATCH KIT, SURPLUS BINOCULARS, ICEBERG RADAR and 1200 INFLATABLE RAFTS. From there on it just gets funnier. Oedekerk specialises in bizarre "filmettes", as he terms them, in which the characters are played by real human thumbs with faces grafted onto them via computer wizardry. Quite apart from the startling realisation that Leonardo DiCaprio actually does look like a thumb wearing a wig, the laughs don't stop from beginning to end. We see the passengers lining up, talent-contest fashion, so they can all have a turn at doing or saying something memorable at the sharp end of the ship. There's a topless scene involving the thumb-incarnation of Kate Winslet. As the ship goes down, one enterprising thumb sells male passengers babies and sex-changes, while the brief love affair between Jake and Geranium is finally eclipsed by the realisation that all the passengers survive and there are "plenty of snacks" for everyone! The perfect antidote to all those unfunny film parodies, Thumbtanic elevates post-pub, kebab-in-hand viewing to the status of an art form. --Roger Thomas
