Il ne fallait pas moins de 592 pages pour décrypter, analyser et expliquer le son Pink Floyd qui a transformé l'histoire de la musique. 1966. Tandis que toute une jeunesse vit les heures les plus héroïques et exaltantes du Swingin' London, un groupe fait sensation. Syd Barrett, Roger Waters, Rick Wright et Nick Mason jouent le blues rock comme personne. Un blues rock psychédélique, halluciné, dira-t-on. Quelques mois plus tard, en 1967, ils enregistrent leurs premiers singles, Arnold Layne/Candy And A Currant Bun et See Emily Play/Scarecrow, puis leur premier album, "The Piper Gates Of Dawn". La prodigieuse carrière de Pink Floyd a commencé... Pink Floyd, la totale analyse en profondeur les 179 chansons du groupe, enregistrées avec Syd Barrett, tout d'abord, puis avec David Gilmour. 179 chansons, sorties entre 1967 et 2014, qui montrent le rôle d'aiguillon de la formation britannique, libérée de l'influence américaine pour façonner une musique aux mille climats : psychédélique, planant, ballades acoustique, symphonique et même hard rock. Étude des textes, immersion dans le processus créatif du groupe en studio, focus sur les producteurs et les ingénieurs du son, sur les instruments... rien n'a été laissé au hasard pour plonger au coeur de la musique de Pink Floyd.

The latest entry in the All the Songs series explores the recording history of Pink Floyd, one of the most commercially successful and influential rock bands. Since 1965, they have created sonically experimental and philosophical music, selling over 250 million records, including the iconic albums Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall. While much is known about the band, few works offer a detailed history of their studio sessions. The authors delve into the origins of nearly 200 released songs, providing insights into the recording process, the instruments used, and the behind-the-scenes tensions that shaped the band. This extensive 544-page hardcover is organized chronologically, starting with their 1967 debut, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, recorded under Syd Barrett's leadership, and following the band's evolution through Barrett's departure, David Gilmour's arrival, and the later exits and returns of Richard Wright and Roger Waters. The book also covers albums released after Waters' departure, including their 2014 farewell album, The Endless River. With over 500 photos, it features cherished stories, such as the innovative recording techniques used for The Dark Side of the Moon at Abbey Road Studios and Bob Ezrin's role in refining The Wall.
