Review: I used to follow Floyd back in the day. Consequently I received this book as an Xmas present. I wasn't that keen on reading it at first, but once I started, I couldn't stop! It provided an interesting insight which would have better informed those schoolboy debates around the relative merits of Barrett vs Gilmour, and more. I was also surprised to find it very well written, and interesting! So much so I bought another copy for my sister. We were lucky enough to see the Floyd perform Dark Side of the Moon at the Empire in Liverpool in about 1924 (or it seems like it - 'then one day you find, ten years have got behind you' it was a very long time ago anyway). Pleasantly, surprisingly, good read. If you were ever into the Floyd in the 70's, you will find it interesting.

Review: This dull little book contains nothing that Floyd fans do not already know. For a book proclaiming to be about the making of the album it gives hardly any real insight into it at all! Indeed the first 70 odd pages concern themselves with the rise and fall of Syd Barrett. All albums prior to Dark Side are also given explanatory revues and interpretations. As I said little is mentioned about the actual making of the album, a few harmonies added here and some tape loops there is about as technical as it gets. Throw in some well worn quotes from Waters and Gilmore together with a few humorous asides from Mason,all of which appear to have been extracted from other published works and there's your book!
