Low

This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

This article was a past project collaboration.

To-do list:

Fair use

Add fair use rationale to all images and sound samples (all except images already labeled free use).
Re-size large images around to 300 pixels (all "fair use" images), other than album covers (already done).

Articles

Expand all articles to at least Start class. Some song stubs can't be expanded and should be redirected to the relevant album article. Use the "Interstellar Overdrive" article as an example when editing a song stub.
Expand all of the Floyd's studio album articles to at least GA status.
See COTM for monthly collabs.

Project building

Add WikiProject Pink Floyd banner {{WPFloyd}} to all appropriate Talk pages.
Personally invite quality editors working on Pink Floyd articles to join the project.

If you complete one of these tasks, please remove it from the list.

Progressive metal? Sure about that?156.34.205.73 (talk) 00:21, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Opening Guitar Solo

The Guitar Solo is inspired by the famous Jimi Hendrix Solo though slightly altered pace and tonality. Jimi's notes were casual and frank and David Gilmours guitars are Sombre and Broody and Dark. can anyone add a link where this is discussed? 39.48.103.234 (talk) 19:56, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Bass

I don't think Tony Levin is on this song. When the song was remixed for The Later Years, there was talk of "changing the bass": https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/pink-floyd-the-later-years-box-set.874454/page-89#post-22437747 The Highlights double LP set credits no bass player for the song: https://www.discogs.com/de/Pink-Floyd-The-Later-Years-1987-2019/release/14462719 Jules TH 16 (talk) 09:16, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The whole quote also seems to refute that the drums are programmed:

"Momentary Lapse was an oddity. It was just approached in a very different way that removed a lot of the organic stuff that happened between them. A lot of that has returned now, with us putting Rick's playing back on. On tour he'd play a lot of Hammond, which isn't on the record, and we'd put it back on and think, 'Ah, that sounds a lot more like Floyd.' Most of the drums have been done again with Nick, and we used a more classic Pink Floyd approach to the drum sound and to the playing. 'Sorrow' was a weird hybrid - the drums were electronic pads, so it has a sort of machine feel to it. We changed the sounds to be more organic, but David liked it played on the pads. Rick's been put on there, though, and we changed the bass, so it is a rather different beast to the original."
