A SAUCER FULL OF SECRETS (VAC015)

VARIOUS ARTISTS
A SAUCER FULL OF SECRETS

Behind this Title hides the second part of my Pink Floyd Tribute Project. This second one deals with Floyd's A Saucerful Of Secrets. This was much uneasier to gather cover version of that second album than for the first. The most difficult was unsurprisely Wright's Remember A Day. Maybe the greatest song of the album (difficult to decide when you listen to the last part of the eponymous track or to Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun), but nearly never got covered ! The only two versions I found were recorded since Rick's death and between a poor dance remix and Gilmour's version on the BBC the decision was fast. Only one question : Is a Pink Floyd song sung by Dave Gilmour a Pink Floyd cover ? The answer is Yes because at the time R.a.D. was recorded, Gilmour was not yet in the band...


Extracts :
In The Woods : Let There Be More Light

Hipi : Julia Dream

    I was always a big fan of early PF but generally don't like tribune discs of cover versions. I did enjoy this and your Piper collection because not only were the songs well done but many interpreted the original songs rather than just sounding like copies. Good work on the covers art too. Thanks,
    Dave
