> Initially, I was shocked at how slowly everything moved! I was used to working really quickly when producing and engineering albums. Suddenly it was like the brakes were on and often it was difficult to get the momentum going. Eventually, I adapted to the Floyd pace. One of the great things about working with this band is that you are allowed time to be creative, to pursue an idea even if it takes some time. The Floyd had a production deal to make their records and the record label never heard anything until it was done. The record was made purely and only by the people in the studio.
The creative freedom without commercial intervention - this is very cool. I can almost hear it in The Wall - how grand and elongated the songs are.
What a great interview. Thank you for linking
- hinkley 2y ago“The Floyd”? Ironic that Have a Cigar was released four years before The Wall: The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think Oh, by the way, which one's Pink?
- kagakuninja 2y agoThe band originally was The Pink Floyd (after changing their name from The Tea Set)

- hinkley 2y agoBut never The Floyd. Just as the band isn’t named after a man called Pink.

- hinkley 2y agoOkay. Not named after a band member named Pink. Unlike Pink, which is the stage name of the artist.
- tremon 2y agoCurveball, the band is named after a man called Pink! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_Anderson https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_Anderson and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floyd_Council https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floyd_Council
- cf100clunk 2y agoSorry, I don't see the irony. Anyway, having ''The'' as an honourific for band names was commonplace in the UK prior to the '70s, even if the band's name had not been stylized with "The".
