To celebrate the 50th Anniversary year of 'The Dark Side Of The Moon',
Roger Waters announces the release of his homage to the original, 'The
Dark Side Of The Moon Redux' Waters says 'when we recorded the stripped
down songs for the Lockdown Sessions, the 50th anniversary of the
release of The Dark Side Of The Moon was looming on the horizon. It
occurred to to me that The Dark Side Of The Moon could well be a
suitable candidate for a similar re-working, partly as a tribute to the
original work, but also to re-address the political and emotional
message of the whole album. I discussed it with Gus and Sean, and when
we'd stopped giggling and shouting 'You must be *ing mad' at one another
we decided to take it on. It's turned out really great and I'm excited
for everyone to hear it. It's not a replacement for the original which,
obviously, is irreplaceable. But it is a way for the seventy nine year
old man to look back across the intervening fifty years into the eyes of
the twenty nine year old and say, to quote a poem of mine about my
Father, "We did our best, we kept his trust, our Dad would have been
proud of us". And also it is a way for me to honor a recording that Nick
and Rick and Dave and I have every right to be very proud of.' As
founding member, lyricist, and principal composer of Pink Floyd during
the band's most influential and creative period, Roger Waters has
achieved global success and global renown. Waters co-founded Pink Floyd
in the mid-1960s. Under Waters' guidance, Pink Floyd made a series of
best-selling albums during the 1970s, of which the most successful and
iconic were The Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and
The Wall. Roger Waters left Pink Floyd in 1985 and is now one of the
most successful solo artists in the world.
