An interview conducted during their Australian tour in 1971, broadcast as part of a segment on GTK, the ABC's music show of the period. (ABC = Australian Broadcasting Commission, the state broadcaster). The segment also included some live footage and a clip for "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun". (see here on my channel also)All contemporary members were present for the interview (from left to right): Nick Mason, Roger Waters, Richard Wright, David Gilmour. They speak of their history to date, their means of composition and collaboration, speak of their current album at that time, "Atom Heart Mother", and the upcoming release of their as-yet unnnamed album (which was to be "Meddle").From a re-broadcast of the segment on Rage, (late-night music programme on ABC) in January 2008. (Wasn't that very good of them!)

Nov 17, 2008 - Agreed, of course, but I'd prefer commenters not to tell others to "shut up". He's entitled to his opinion.

Nov 17, 2008 - must have been meddle, that was released in 1971, and it came after atom heart mother.I am not sure if it had an electronic choir though...
bikiniatoll Says:
Nov 17, 2008 - Like I said in the blurb to the right, Meddle.
bikiniatoll Says:
Nov 17, 2008 - And yeah, I've wondered about that electric choir... Maybe at the end of "Fearless" -- what sounds like a football crown chorus -- singing "You'll never walk alone" ???
bikiniatoll Says:
Nov 17, 2008 - ...crowd...
Macclenn Says:
Nov 17, 2008 - Good Lord. David Gilmour was quite possibly the most beautiful human being that ever existed. I cannot get over how insanely gorgeous he was! How did he not reach Morrison status amongst girls back then?? Damn.
