Pressestimmen
"New York Press", 1/20/09
"You really do feel as if you're being sucked into the drama. That's a testament to Blake doing his job...It's a journalistic take on the band, and its reads like a history book. It's respectful and revealing, but not in a scandalous way."

"Mark Blake has clearly done his share of research...Blake is at his best [when] providing those details that leap off the page while placing Pink Floyd squarely in the context of the times."
Kurzbeschreibung
Mark Blake draws on his own interviews with band members as well as the groups friends, road crew, musical contemporaries, former housemates, and university colleagues to produce a riveting history of one of the biggest rock bands of all time. We follow Pink Floyd from the early psychedelic nights at UFO, to the stadium-rock and concept-album zenith of the seventies, to the acrimonious schisms of the late 80s and 90s. Along the way there are fascinating new revelations about Syd Barretts chaotic life at the time of Piper at the Gates of Dawn, the bands painstaking and Byzantine recording sessions at Abbey Road, and the fractious negotiations to bring about their fragile, tantalizing reunion in Hyde Park.

Format:Taschenbuch
Mich interessierte die Geschichte der Band sehr und ich habe wundervolle Erkenntnisse aus dem Buch gezogen. Gut recherchiert und aufgebaut. Der Autor hat offensichtlich viele Interviews geführt. Viele interessante Stories und viele Verknüpfungen zum parallelen Musikgeschehen. Der Konflikt Roger Waters mit dem Rest der Band sehr neutral geschildert. Vokabular sehr gewählt zum Teil. Bin sehr geübt in der Englischen Sprache, musste aber doch immer wieder zum Wörterbuch greifen. Vorher lesen: Joe Boyd "White Bicycles".

The Best Pink Floyd Book Available
25. Dezember 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
If you are into Pink Floyd you must read this book. This is by far the best book on this band. As most of you know, Pink Floyd is very guarded when it comes to their past and their personal lives. Floyd drummer Nick Mason's book Inside Out was supposed to be the definitive book about the band. It was learned that he allowed all of the Floyd members to edit out all of the dirt and honest truth he had written about each member. This left his book very lackluster.
I can't imagine how long it took Mark Blake to research this book let alone write it. He took quotes and articles from every major book ever written about the band. He got people from each members past to talk on record. A lot of them for the first time in print. Their are stories here that have never seen the light of day. The best part about this book is that he got some of Pink Floyd's inner circle to talk without disclosing their identities.
For the first time, problems in each members personal lives are disclosed in great detail. It's about time all Pink Floyd fans got the real stories behind the history of this amazing band.
This is a must have for any rock n roll buff.

Best Floyd book ever
15. Januar 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I have read a fair few Floyd books now including Nick Masons and i have to say this is by far and away the best and most comprehensive. It starts right back at the begining in the mid 60's right through to 2007, covering literally everything. It also covers their solo ventures during and after Floyd and also gives great info on how all the albums faired in the US and the UK (Solo's included). He must have been working on this book for years. I was very impressed that he mentioned Dave Gilmour turned up on Michael Parkinsons chat show in 1999 as a session guitarist for Paul McCartney who was having a full show dedicated to him. Dave Gilmour was never mentioned on the show and i only noticed myself that he was there playing. Very impressive research. I learn't a lot about the band and its members that i never knew and will have to read it again as its hard to remember everything. Its a great story and also quite sad (Syd's decline). Roger Waters comes out of it the worst, looks like he gave Gilmour a very hard time and the rest of the band also. His ego and tempermant being his main problem. And considering the abuse he has taken, Dave Gilmour comes out of it with dignity in tact.
If your a Floyd fanantic or a casual music listener with a passing interest in the band, its a must buy.

Very thorough and well crafted!
26. Dezember 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This book is extremely well written and researched. The quality of writing is impeccable. Covering the history of Pink Floyd until the present, it is full of fascinating material and clarifies or fills in stories about the band which have circulated throughout the years. Any PF fan who enjoys learning all about the crafting of the music, the individual personalities and points of view, and how the miracle of Pink Floyd came about will surely be delighted.
I agree with everything that the previous reviewer had to say except for the comment about the Nick Mason book. I am not convinced that Nick's original intent was to go into depth about the band's various personality conflicts over the years. His book with its extensive collection of photographs was written from a loving perspective and with great humor. I value that book very much just as it is. It is a beautiful book with stunning artwork worthy of a true Pink Floyd product. I highly recommend both these wonderful books which compliment each other very nicely.
