What's revealed is mainly a lot of noodling around on the organ by Rick Wright. There is some sound degradation here and there, but it's like night and day compared to trying to listen to the music with the talking on top. I was able to remove all that, so you don't hear a word. Most of these songs had actors talking over them pretty much non-stop, from start to finish. I'm glad to say the program worked quite well. I realized if I could do that for them, I could do the same thing here, so I did. Early today, I posted a couple of Pink Floyd songs from 1967 where I was able to remove a BBC narrator talking over the music, due to two sound editing programs I use, Spleeter and X-Minus.

But at least the worst problem of all the talking over the music can be eliminated, so one can actually properly enjoy the music for the first time. So, long story short, this is for die-hard Pink Floyd fans only. (Plus, they probably realized it wasn't their best.) Apparently, back in 1968, the band considered putting this music on record, but decided against it because they thought only 15 minutes would be a rip off for an album. Then, on top of all that, the Pink Floyd songs added together only make up about 15 minutes worth of music. Even the two songs included on the box set have some talking over them, though those were probably chosen because they don't have much compared to the others.

Secondly, all the Pink Floyd songs are mood setting incidental instrumentals, the kind one usually hears in movies, so it's far from their most interesting stuff.īut worst of all is the fact that the only known versions of the songs come from the movie itself, complete with the actors talking all over the songs. For one, apparently it's a pretty bad movie, with a length slightly under an hour, so few people have ever seen it. Nick said that the prize money - one million Kroner, or US$157,000 - would be shared between all the band, and donated to their chosen charities.Even if you're a die-hard Pink Floyd, chances are you've never heard of their songs from the 1968 movie "The Committee." Two of the songs made it onto "The Early Years 1965-1972" box set, but that's about it. But it makes you feel like you are a part of history." Nick added: "It's not that I feel we need or deserve an award. On receiving the award, Roger dedicated the award to his 96-year-old mother: "If there is any humanity and empathy in my work, which I think there is, I would rather owe it to her."Īt the press conference the day before, Roger noted that the prize - one of just a few such honours the band have won over the years was "very important to me. Roger and Nick were there to receive the award, and said that David Gilmour and Richard Wright were sorry they could not attend.ĭuring the ceremony, Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt gave his own tribute to the band, saying that their work was "a monumental contribution, and captured the mood and spirit of a whole generation in their reflections and attitudes." He even broke into an impromptu ' Another Brick In The Wall', to which Roger Waters looked a little nonplussed and uncomfortable with! You can view this unusual performance through the links below. Pink Floyd were joint winners of this year's award for their contribution to popular music, alongside American soprano Renee Fleming.
