A new documentary on the album "Dark Side Of The Moon" is nearing completion and will be released on DVD on June 30th.
Details of what it includes are still quite sketchy, but it is believed that there is live footage from 1972 and 1973. There is credence behind these inclusions, as the DSOTM EPK (found here on this site!) includes David Gilmour playing some of "On The Run" from Brighton in 1972. They played three shows at the Brighton Dome in that year, including January 20th, which was the first public performance (if curtailed due to technical issues) of Dark Side.
More info on this title as we have it. Thanks to Charles at Floydstuff.com for the head's-up!

To tie in with the forthcoming DVD, where Roger Waters supervised a new 5.1 surround sound mix, there is a new, non-hybrid SACD of the soundtrack coming out as well, which is due to hit the stores on May 12th. Non-hybrid SACDs cannot be played on conventional CD players, unfortunately.

The UK magazine, Guitarist, pictured right, includes a large feature looking at the making of Dark Side Of The Moon, track by track. The magazine is easy to spot - it has a very nice live shot of David Gilmour on the cover, and a slightly different to normal "Guitarist" logo! It also has a cover-mounted CD (sadly not of the SACD of Dark Side of The Moon).
There is no new Pink Floyd interview, however there is one with Storm Thorgerson, on entertaining form as ever. The magazine hit the newsagents in the UK last Wednesday (April 9th) and will be available for one month.

There is currently a proposal for up to 2000 houses to be built on the fields on the other side of the river from Grantchester Meadows, which naturally would spoil this wonderful part of Cambridge. There is currently a petition to stop this work, arranged by a Cambridge councillor.
Grantchester Meadows is an area of Cambridge which was a large part of the Floyd members' childhoods, and from personal experience, has a special magic for visitors. It was immortalised in song by the band and was a pastoral favourite in concert, in the late sixties.
The nearest road to the area is also called Grantchester Meadows, and the roadsign has for many years been a popular target for thieves! Our thanks to Neil Ford for bringing the proposed housing development to our attention.

The new version of Dark Side Of The Moon has slipped three places to number 20 in the UK album charts. This may in part be down to the general lack of publicity in the mainstream UK media, and the lack of promotion in most record shops. Brain Damage has been keeping an eye on many shops, and in most cases it was very hard to find the album, let alone any displays to tell people it is now available!
