The Endless River Vinyl Review

It is also a tribute to the great musician he was.

The endless river vinyl review.

The 15th and final full length studio release from the british rock band features unreleased music from its 1993 division bell sessions. As expected with all qrp vinyl my lps were flat perfectly centred and without defect. The endless river is stately grandiose and searching but it is also bloated pompous and so conceptually top heavy it just might fall off the cd rack or crash your computer. The record is largely instrumental and is divided into four distinct though unlabeled movements each occupying an album side.

The endless river doesn t rise to the level of dark side of the moon but there s some comfort in saying this as dark side of the moon was and is for me the greatest album of all time. I m not alone but the album has the elements of what makes pink floyd special. I believe everyone should respect the endless river for these reasons instead of mourning endlessly for a band who gived us so much already. However the success of the endless river as an album is evasive.

The lyrics also refer to the sum and the parts see side one before the cascading arpeggiating synths from the start of the album return and we come pleasingly full circle. Reply notify me 3 helpful.

As well as the endless.

This album is mostly what remains of rick wright and his atmospheric sound. The endless river s vinyl records are pressed on quiet black slabs of heavyweight vinyl. Often overlooked wright provided the band with all the amazing ethereal and sonic sounds throughout their career. The endless river is essentially a tribute to the late rick wright keyboardist for the band and founding member.

The choice to press the endless river on a 180 200 gram record was a very good one since heavier records are more stable on the turntable platter. The endless river is gilmour and drummer nick mason s generous farewell to wright who died in 2008 built from unissued music the three made together for 1994 s the division bell.
