Description: 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.
