In celebration of the 45th anniversary of The Dark Side of the
Moon, Bill Kopp explores the ingenuity with which Pink Floyd
rebranded itself following the 1968 departure of Syd Barrett. Not
only did the band survive Barrett's departure, but it went on to
release landmark albums that continue to influence generations of
musicians and fans. Reinventing Pink Floyd follows the path taken
by the remaining band members to establish a musical identity,
develop a songwriting style, and create a new template for the
manner in which albums are made and even enjoyed by listeners. As
veteran music journalist Bill Kopp illustrates, that path was
filled with failed experiments, creative blind alleys, one-off
musical excursions, abortive collaborations, general restlessness,
and-most importantly-a dedicated search for a distinctive musical
personality. This exciting guide to the works of 1968 through 1973
highlights key innovations and musical breakthroughs of lasting
influence. Kopp places Pink Floyd in its historical, cultural, and
musical contexts while celebrating the test of fire that took the
band from the brink of demise to enduring superstardom.
