Recorded by PINK FLOYD when Waters was just 29, “The Dark Side Of The Moon” was an extraordinary multidimensional meditation on the human experience, the passage of time, descent into madness, and the abyss.
“The memories of a man in his old age – are the deeds of a man in his prime”. As foretold by its opening line, “The Dark Side Of The Moon Redux” sees Waters transcend this half-century void to reinterpret and embellish his original creations with a new perspective gleaned from his own life experience, philosophy, and the wisdom of age, with added emphasis on the philosophical, social and political themes of the original.
Waters‘s extraordinary vocal performance adds fresh layers of profundity to his classic lyrics, and gravelly wisdom to his philosophical new creations. Waters and Gus Seyffert‘s production strips back PINK FLOYD‘s psychedelic orchestrations into something rawer and more delicate, but no less experimentally inventive, exquisitely textured, and rich in musical intertext.
In addition to reimagining each of “The Dark Side Of The Moon”‘s original ten tracks — which, like the original, run seamlessly together to create one epic composition — “The Dark Side Of The Moon Redux” LP format features a bonus 13-minute original composition inspired by the re-recording as a final track.
Roger said: “The original ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’ feels in some ways like the lament of an elder being on the human condition. But Dave, Rick, Nick and I were so young when we made it, and when you look at the world around us, clearly the message hasn’t stuck. That’s why I started to consider what the wisdom of an 80-year-old could bring to a reimagined version.
“When I first mentioned the idea of re-recording ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’ to Gus and Sean, we all thought I was mad, but the more we considered it, the more we thought ‘isn’t that the whole point?’
“I’m immensely proud of what we have created, a work that can sit proudly alongside the original, hand in hand across a half century of time.”
