Very interesting, good vibes.

Another interesting read on one of my favorite bands. The book is from 1997. You'll read about the Floyd's reclusion, their lack of Rock n' Roll charisma, the inside story, learn about the collision course between the members since Dark Side, enjoy all the articles from different perspectives, re-live the 60s, the new era with David Gilmour, their albums and space oriented music, the crack up, the return of the living dead with "A Momentary Lapse of Reason", Roger Waters returns, "The Division Bell"... you'll find a fine black and white photo section inside. The book closes with a section on the songs from A to Z. Absolutely worth reading if you want to find out more about the legendary band. Highly recommended.
