Truly you know when someone is very submersed in to the music of The Pink Floyd. Like myself Scott Lawlor draws upon the sounds that the band pushed through his speakers when he first was introduced to them and it just didn’t stop there. Listening to The Pink Floyd just isn’t putting on a band’s…

Obscured by Scott and the Secrets Beyond the Temple
If you had to submerge your self in to history, time and space you would come across the music of Scott Lawlor. A man no stranger to the world of; Prog, Ambient, Experimental and certainly to the ethereal mind of sound. Inspired by the early albums of The Pink Floyd Scott has brought his mastery…
Just When You Thought You Had It All Eh? Pink Floyd: The Early Years Box Set 1965-1972
So here’s to all you Pink Floyd fans that never got in to the whole bootleg collecting thing over the years! A pretty definitive box set to say the least. Yes even I was drooling a bit when I first heard about it and was gathering the intel on it. Being one of those obsessed…
Voor al Mijn Vrienden in Nederland bied ik u de Pink Floyd
Since we have been blessed with all of these great bands from the Netherlands I thought I would say thank you to them with this show review by one of my all time favourite bands, The Pink Floyd. So this is for my Dutch Family; Iris (Ier!), Frank, Eric, Peter and the other members of…
The REAL Slow Hand, Mr. David Gilmour & Co. Plays Toronto’s Air Canada Centre March 31st 2016
With a little stroke of luck from one of the sales reps at my mom’s work I was able to score seats at what was probably 20,000 people packing Toronto’s Air Canada Centre tonight. It’s amazing that David Gilmour could even hear himself play let alone sing over the the thousands of voices who sang…
Signal to Noise with Andy Jackson’s First Album
It only seems natural that if you engineer Pink Floyd albums that eventually you will release one of your own. Having worked with the Floyd or the Floyd related via solo projects they have done, Andy Jackson has certainly got a lot of influence under his belt to come up with his own ideas and…
Mauerspechte mit Das Pink Floyd (’71 Live Show Review)
June 5th 1971, where were you? I wasn’t born yet for a couple of years and if you were around you may have not been at West Germany’s Berliner Sportpalast when The Pink Floyd to the stage that night. It was the first rock concert to be held there using Quadraphonic sound and The Floyd…
Quoth the Raven, “It’s The Alan Parsons Project””
1976, not the big year for the major players in Progressive Rock to be on the field, it was more like a hiatus year to go on Hols, record or just whatever really. Mostly record to premiere 1977 with epic albums. But one great album came out in ’76 and it’s the first of many…
Have a Cigar Whilst Raving and Drooling Cuz You Gotta Be Crazy (Pink Floyd, Vancouver Firsts in ’75)
Probably one of the first ’75 bootlegs I ever bought of the Floyd was Vancouver April 8th 1975, it was the first CD bootleg I bought I should say because I got in a trade the Ivor Wynne Stadium, Hamilton, Ontario show from June 1975 first. Who’d have thought that they would have played there…
Steven Wilson, 4 1/2; Album Review
One of my favourite voices in Prog Rock, Steven Wilson. Having seen him for the first time live last March at the Danforth Music Hall in Toronto I was blown away by his stage presence, humour, theatrics, music and his love for what he does. He returns to Toronto, Tuesday, March 1st at Massey Hall,…
Prog Rock Magazine’s Top 100 Artists of All Time, Selected Review
I have always been opposed to “lists” of the Top 100 this or Top 10 that, whatever it may be because every band has a different spin on what their Progginess exudes. It’s like comparing apples to tires and oranges to diamonds in a fish’s stomach. It just doesn’t make sense to me, never has,…
