That’s just music

Legendary David Gilmour (of Pink Floyd) is going to perform an instrumental suite from the album “Atom Heart Mother”, released in 1970.

As notes New Musical Express, this concert will be incorporated into the Chelsea Festival in London on June 15. It shall include performances by violencellist Carolyn Dale, tribue-band Mun Floyd, Ron Geesin (co-author of “Atom Heart Mother”), and a choir from the Royal musical college, called Canticum. All together they should help Gilmour to perform a 24–minutes suite, which contains six parts: “Father’s Shout, “Breat Milky”, “Mother Fore”, “Funky Dung,” “Mind Your Throats, Please”, “Remergence”.

As The Guardian says, David Gilmour was also preparing to take part in “Glastonbury”, the biggest open-air British music festival. However, the festival’s organizers had welcomed the American rapper Jay-Z instead of the Pink Floyd’s legendary musician. They’re explaining this decision by their wish to attract younger audience. Nevertheless, this year’s “Glastonbury” could not sell all the tickets for the first time in it’s history. A festival will take place in the Somerset county on 27–29 of June.

The Scottish post-punk band Mogwai had recorded a new (sixth) album, notes Drowned In Sound. The release of a disk called “The Hawk Is Howling”, is arranged for September 22.

There will be the mini pre-release album “The Batcat” which should contain three new songs: “Batcat”, “Stupid Prick Gets Chased By The Police And Loses His Slut Girlfriend” and “Devil Rides”. Possibly that all of these songs will go into the new album.

It is well know that one of the psychodelic rock pioneers Roky Erickson has participated in the recording of “Devil Rides”. The mini-album will be available on September 8 in MP3 format, CD and even vinyl. After the release musicians shall start touring around Britain, and maybe other European countries.
