Description | Truly original and wholly unique, Pink Floyd are renowned for their sonic experimentation and musical innovation, creating a sound all of their own in the process. But while their music would greatly inspire a huge range of artists who came along in their wake, it was not created without its own influences. Indeed Floyd members have never been shy to name-check an eclectic range of songwriters and performers who had come before. Across the whimsical psychedelia of the Barrett era through the ambient progressive groove that would propel the band towards the enormous success they eventually achieved, they were informed and inspired by numerous different genres and artists .The raw country blues of Pink Anderson and Floyd Council - who of course additionally inspired the band''s name - were favourites of Syd Barrett, with Dave Gilmour citing Tommy Steele as important as Elvis! The pioneering work of electronic mavericks Stockhausen and Varese co-exist with Dylan, Miles Davis and Bo Diddley, who all played their part in what would become the Pink Floyd sound too. This compilation, complete with 16 page booklet featuring notes by music historian Derek Barker, documents these influences and many more besides, across 23, always surprising, often obscure tracks on this quite extraordinary ''Jukebox'' collection. |
