This redirect was a past project collaboration.

To-do list:

Fair use

Add fair use rationale to all images and sound samples (all except images already labeled free use).
Re-size large images around to 300 pixels (all "fair use" images), other than album covers (already done).

Articles

Expand all articles to at least Start class. Some song stubs can't be expanded and should be redirected to the relevant album article. Use the "Interstellar Overdrive" article as an example when editing a song stub.
Expand all of the Floyd's studio album articles to at least GA status.
See COTM for monthly collabs.

Project building

Add WikiProject Pink Floyd banner {{WPFloyd}} to all appropriate Talk pages.
Personally invite quality editors working on Pink Floyd articles to join the project.

If you complete one of these tasks, please remove it from the list.

This article does not yet have a related to do list. If you can think of any ways to improve the article, why not create one?

Planned

I am going to write this article in a few days.--Dr. Who 04:57, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

most of 1970s electronic music in just one piece

In my opinion, this track predates several works produced by European artists along the 1970s, for example J.M. Jarre's Oxygene, or even much German stuff. Of course I am not going to put such pov in the article. I bet that some will come here and say: no, that wasn't a synth.--Dr. Who 02:56, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would certainly hope so! For a start Gilmour has stated that the first album they used synths on was Obscured by Clouds. Secondly as the owner of an Original Farfisa Compact Duo and Vox Wah-Wah, I can tell you that this is exactly what is on the record!!

Genre Change

I suggest add to the genre of this song the genre Avant-garde. This music as "Quicksilver" from the same album, has both elements of Avant-garde and Progressive rock. We have a conflict here, in the Soundtrack from the Film More article says : More contains some acoustic folk ballads, a genre that will appear sparsely on later works, a couple of hard rock songs ("The Nile Song", "Ibiza Bar"), and some instrumental tracks featuring their experimental (or avant-garde) approach and their trademark spacey/electronic sound (such as "Quicksilver" and "Main Theme"). But in the article of these song they are listed as Progressive rock. Other songs of the same genre, "Syncopated Pandemonium" and "The Grand Vizier's Garden Party, are listed as Avant-garde. I wainting the opinion of other wikipedians to change the genre.--Italodal (talk) 22:19, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I can hear nothing in this track that suggests "avant garde" as a genre, and the article's mention of "experimental (or avant-garde) approach" is not the same thing as putting songs into that category exclusively. The song has a basic melody, harmony, rhythm, etc., and is far too "ordinary" to be labelled avant garde. About other examples, there is no article called "Syncopated Pandemonium", and "The Grand Vizier's Garden Party" has two genres, of which "avant garde" is questionable. I'm not sure if this song's current genre, psychedelic rock is the best, though. I think that originally, all tracks from this album were assinged that genre, and over the years others have "fiddled" with some songs' genres. It's good to review them, but we shouldn't be changing every one of them arbitrarily, because they will just get changed again, just as arbitrarily, in future. I'm going to counter-propose "progressive rock" for this song, as I think any psychedelic elements can be incorporated into "progressive" in this instance. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 09:32, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
