There has always been the guys who later was realized to be ahead in time. Some of the early blues guitar players were ahead in time, some singers have been, and then in the era of “pop” and “rock”.

In my ears, The Who was ahead, Pet Sounds was.

In 1968 Swedish The Jackpots used rich harmonies and reverse harmonies overdubs in “Jack In the Box”.

Another Gothenburg band, Tages, produced their last album “Studio” at Abbey Roads in 1967. IMHO, along with The Jackpots, by far, best Swedish bands in the 60s, musically innovative. One of the songs, “She’s Having A Baby Now” was banned by the BBC.

In 1973 I was 8. My brother bought the album The Dark Side of the Moon, and by then, I did feel that it was different, yet timeless. It was on time, in time, kind of… in all time.

I remember I thought to my self the words or feeling “It sounds modern”, yet I was not surprised, felt as it was already my style, though I had not heard it before. The stereo effects, the phaser sounds, the vsc3, the breathing drum dynamics, the rich and dense spectrum yet open sound, the slow gentle rhythm.

Time goes on. Who will be ahead with the yet unreleased music?

Sorry, but I read about it right now.

The really weird thing was, that as the anaesthetic was being injected, none other than Comfortably Numb started playing in the room!

Another album cover that was banned in some places was Led Zep’s “Houses of the Holy” for its depiction of a naked girl. This, despite the fact that the model was actually in her early twenties.

Congrats Doctor Gilmour, on the Anglia Ruskin University Honorary Doctorate representing the highest level of achievement in his field of expertise.

Late October 2008, I traveled all the way from California to Cambridge to participate in the City Wakes tribute to Mr. Barrett. The Anglia Ruskin was the first place I went, equipped with paint and canvas, for visitors to paint on, as a special guest book to Syd Barrett’s Other Room exhibition of rare paintings.

An old friend of Mr. Barrett, Warren Dosanjh, invited me and my brother to a private event to debut the People Painting happening we had brought. It was titled “The Roots of Cambridge Rock” and was located at the Center at St. Paul’s. I had a chance to meet Mr. Bob Klose while he was jamming with many of his Cambridge friends there.

I really enjoyed the experience very much and wish to return again, some sunny day. If I’m not mistaken, Syd and maybe even “the Doctor” had previously jammed at times in the basement of the Cambridgeshire College of Arts.

Have a lovely weekend all.

Little did we know and hear “Dark Side of the Moon” was near. Plus “Careful With That Axe Augene”, a personal favorite of mine. Oh many songs and fun! “Set the Controls For the Heart of the Sun”.

In summation, it is great regret that Mr. Wright has passed. I will miss him greatly… for he was a pure genius. Every time I see a Farfissa I wonder about him, for he is not long gone.

Congratualtions David, for you deserve a “Doc”. I only hope that you and Nick Mason can remain the Legendary “Pink Floyd”.

Regards,
Sam

hope all’s well at DGHQ
