This Pink Floyd Orchestral Album

Post by nurserozetta » Mon Jan 25, 2016 8:09 am

Whats the story with this ?

Does Alice sing vox on all the songs or just on Wish you were here ?

Details are very scant considering it's released next week

Just wondering if its worth buying

This is the track listing, according to Amazon:

Disc: 1
1. Wish You Were Here - Alice Cooper, Rick Wakeman
2. Tuning
3. Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Parts I-V
4. Welcome To The Machine
5. Have A Cigar
6. Wish You Were Here - Dave Fowler, Stephen McElroy
7. Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Parts VI-IX
8. Eclipse

It seems that Alice is only featured on the one track

Alice sings on more than one song. You can hear welcome to the machine on the floyd fan site brain damage, it's Alice singing and they suggest he sings on shine on you crazy diamond too

ow..If people doubted the covers on HV, now this must be causing real earache..
Tried to listen to Welcome to the Machine....and stopped halfway..
I don't think Alice's voice suites this music..
you really wouldn't understand..

For me, the "symphonic" arrangement is even worse. Totally neuters the song.

Have A Cigar is on Spotify (as a single) but strangely is instrumental...

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse than 'Art Of McCartney' & 'Hollywood Vampires' - it does. Karaoke Alice, prog dinosaur RW, and 'slumming it' orchestra, 'interpret' perpetual dullards Pink Floyd. They're like musical zombies: forever condemned to wander the dead-end zone of 'classic rock', with a battle cry of "always back, never forward". What's the point of trooping on if you don't throw a few interesting musical shapes?

You do realise this is NOT a PF album?
It's a covers/tribute album and nothing at all to do with the band.

I won`t address you other comments about Floyd.. It wouldn`t be polite :/

Sounds like alice did his bit in about an hour. Could have done with some double tracked vocals and auto-tuning. As a long time fan I'm forced to admit this is truly awful

Yes, I knew it was a covers/'tribute'. It's the third rotten album in a row that Alice has appeared on.
