Roger Waters Has Re-Recorded ‘Dark Side’ Without Pink Floyd

Roger Waters has re-recorded The Dark Side of the Moon with out the remainder of his former Pink Floyd bandmates.

“I wrote The Dark Side of the Moon. Let’s get rid of all this ‘we’ crap!” Waters declared throughout an interview with The Telegraph. “Of course we were a band, there were four of us, we all contributed – but it’s my project and I wrote it. So… blah!”

Officially, Waters is credited with writing the 1973 album’s lyrics, composing three of its tracks, and co-writing two others.

The rocker was removed from complimentary when discussing his former bandmates’ songwriting contributions, insisting the opposite members of Pink Floyd couldn’t craft high quality materials. “Well, Nick [Mason] never pretended. But [David] Gilmour and Rick [Wright]? They can’t write songs, they’ve nothing to say. They are not artists!”

As The Dark Side of the Moon – which ranks among the many hottest albums of all time – approaches its fiftieth birthday in March, Waters determined it was time to re-record the LP.

The Telegraph author Tristram Fane Saunders was given a preview of the album, and reported that “parts are very good indeed.” “‘Time,’ that young man’s lament for mortality, sounds terrific with his old man’s timbre,” he famous. “‘Breathe’ is wonderfully reimagined as a slow, acoustic groove. A country-tinged ‘Money’ could be a late Johnny Cash cut, with Waters growling charismatically at the very bottom of his register.”

Still, maybe Waters’ most jarring selection was to document spoken phrase poetry over The Dark Side of the Moon’s instrumental tracks.

The rocker insisted that his motive behind behind the mission was to raised convey the album’s central theme, following “the voice of reason.” “Not enough people recognized what it’s about, what it was I was saying then,” he opined.

A launch date for the up to date model of The Dark Side of the Moon has not but been formally introduced, although The Telegraph prompt it could come out someday in May.

News of the re-record comes as Waters and Gilmour are as soon as once more embroiled in a public confrontation.
