Description
SAUCERFUL OF SECRETS, an early Floyd revival project led by Nick Mason, has been revived for the first time in three years after overcoming the COVID-19 pandemic. The first of these will be the release of two live albums at the same time. This is the first of two simultaneous releases. It is a superb audience recording of the “April 19, 2022 Oxford performance”. We have been reporting in real time since SAUCERFUL OF SECRETS’ debut gig, but this is their first new work in three years. In the meantime, the official work “LIVE AT THE ROUNDHOUSE” has also appeared, so it’s a good opportunity to look back on their journey in its entirety. 2018 May 20-24: UK #1 (4 shows) 2019 March 12-April 22: North America #1 (28 shows) 2019 April 29-May 4: UK #3 (5 shows) ←※Official 2020 September 18th “LIVE AT THE ROUNDHOUSE” released 2022 April 13-May 11: UK #4 (21 shows) ←★Here★ 2022 May 14-July 13: Europe #3 (39 shows) 2022 September 22-November 1: North America #2 (28 shows) This is the NICK MASON’S SAUCERFUL OF A complete view of SECRETS’ activities. They were originally scheduled to resume live activities with the release of “LIVE AT THE ROUNDHOUSE”, but then the COVID-19 pandemic occurred. The planned live performance was postponed and finally took place in the spring of 2022. This work is the first report of the sound of the current “ECHOES Tour”. It is a live album recorded at the fifth performance of “UK #4”. This work recorded at such a show is the best. There is no complaints. The core is extremely thick, it is fiercely on, the sound is elegant and gorgeous, and the details are also fine. Everything is wonderful. If I were to make a difficult habit, it would be that there is a cheer that seems to be from the recorder himself at the start of the show, but even so, he does not talk during the performance, and the mood of being overwhelmed by the long-awaited resumption of the tour is also real. Is the audience recording in 2022 so amazing? … It is a recording of a level that is impressive by the advancement of such technology itself. The superb sound depicts the full show of 2022, which has changed after three years. There are also new songs that were released for the first time this year, so let’s check them out and organize all the songs. Syd Barrett era ・Dawn whistler: Lucifer Sam / Interstellar Overdrive / Astronomy Domine / Bike ・Mystery: Remember A Day / Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun / A Saucerful Of Secrets ・Singles and others: Arnold Layne / Candy And A Currant Bun (★) / Vegetable Man / See Emily Play Afterwards ・More: The Nile Song ・Atom Heart Mother: If / Atom Heart Mother ・Meddlesome: One Of These Days / Fearless / Echoes (★) ・Shadow of the Clouds: Obscured By Clouds / When You’re In / Burning Bridges (★) / Childhood’s End *Note: The “★” mark is a repertoire that appeared in 2022. …And so it is like this. The concept of sticking to the early days of PINK FLOYD’s debut single to “Shadow of the Clouds” remains the same as before, and three new songs have been introduced. In addition to the set, the performance is also a key point of this work. After all, this is the fifth performance since the restart, and it is still not well-established. Of course, there is no hesitation or danger in the ensemble that must have been thoroughly rehearsed, but there are times when they show a gap. At the beginning of the show, “Fearless” and in the middle of the show, “The Nile Song” are wrong and they start over. Of course, the venue is filled with laughter, and the mood is very homely. Even such a peacefulness is a delicious live album. For any band, trial and error is interesting in the early stages of a tour, and this work is a good example of that. The sharpness and tension of the polished performance will be saved for future enjoyment, but what flows from this work is a fresh scene that can only be heard now. The superb audience recording of the full live album “Oxford Performance on April 19, 2022” where you can experience the whole story with the superb sound. The core is extremely thick, it’s fiercely on, the sound is elegant and gorgeous, and the details are fine, everything is wonderful. Is the audience recording in 2022 so amazing? … The level of the technological progress itself is impressive. The fresh atmosphere of the fifth performance of the tour is wonderful, and the peaceful mood of “Fearless” and “The Nile Song” that start over is also delicious.
