will: i wondered about that (whether you were joking) but decided to twist it around on you, mostly because i was not interested in the old=good new=bad elements of the op. there are other ways of thinking about what is outlined. and there are some very strange conventions behind it.
besides, i prefer pink floyd from before dark side of the moon, which i never really liked. there was much more interesting stuff going on when they were recording on more primitive gear. dark side is too clean, too processed, and---to my mind----is just a dull record. i dont like atom heart mother either, which i think is the prelude to dark side. but the other stuff: piper at the gates of dawn, saucerful of secrets, ummagumma, meddle (side 2) and the suondtracks--all are cool, even after all this time. in my tiny world anyway.
