Big Wheel Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Can you? I did a search yesterday and didn't find Animals, only an electronic tribute to it. It's on there, but the opening and closing "Pigs On The Wing" aren't available to stream. They have most of the Floyd albums, missing some of the late 60s/early 70s releases. Thanks, I'll check again when I get home. I've noticed that spotify's db/servers can be wonky sometimes...or maybe I just searched for one of the unavailable tracks.

Rooster_Ties Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 And maybe Roger Waters isn't the greatest bass player in the world, but he does some handy work on the fretless on this album, which is alright with me! Gilmour played bass on the studio recordings of "Pigs (Three Different Ones)" and "Sheep" (not sure about "Dogs" - but I seem to remember that was all Roger). Apologies that I don't have time at this very moment to provide citations, but I'm pretty sure these are both fairly well established, from everything I've seen on-line.

Sundog Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Animals is the first Pink Floyd album I discovered contemporaneously. For that reason it's a favorite however it's where I jump off the "Floyd" train. No use for anything after that. The latest remaster sounds excellent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you paying for Spotify Premium? All I can see when I do a search is the tracks below. The PF artist page only shows DSOTM and Pulse as available. So either there's a bug (maybe whatever Spotify datacenter serves Northern California has some albums missing), or Spotify restricts some tracks from being played by some users (those who are only using the free version or maybe those who have played X number of hours for free already).

There's a quote from Gilmour here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheep_%28song%29 Snowy White would play bass on "Sheep" and "Pigs" in live concerts, while Waters played rhythm guitar.

Rooster_Ties Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 I don't dispute that The Wall is a triumph, but over the years, I've grown to have less and less and less use for it. In the legal wranglings over the Pink Floyd name in 1987, Roger got the full ownership rights to The Wall in the settlement (save for the 2 or 3 specific tunes Dave wrote, namely Run Like Hell and Comfortably Numb). So, as a matter of law, The Wall 'belongs' to Roger -- which is how I feel it should be. It's a GREAT Roger Waters album, for those who like such things, but The Wall doesn't feel much at all like Pink Floyd to me. If I owned a complete collection of Floyd and Roger Water's solo output, I'd file The Wall and The Final Cut under "W" at the beginning of Roger's solo work. Thus, Animals is the last 'real' Pink Floyd album, in my mind -- though I do fancy about half of the tracks from Gilmour's later efforts under the Pink Floyd name (even if they don't feel like real Pink Floyd either).

Odd, I don't pay for Spotify, I'm using the free version. Circling back on this before I email Spotify support. Are you sure that you aren't seeing Animals in Spotify only because you've previously ripped the album locally and Spotify has automatically imported it? Or maybe remembered seeing Animals in some other music service? Because this is what Spotify's current help content reads: http://www.spotify.com/us/help/faq/content/ Why can’t I find a track, album or artist I’m looking for? We aim to have all the world’s music available at Spotify. We are still in the process of acquiring licenses to all music in the world (!), therefore it is possible that you won’t be able to find some of your favourite artists or tracks right now. We are signing new labels and adding a great amount of new tracks every week. Hopefully your favorite music will be up soon. Unfortunately there are some artists who have opted not to be a part of Spotify at this point in time. Some frequently requested artists that are not in Spotify include Metallica, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, AC/DC and Led Zeppelin. We hope that they change their minds regarding streaming soon!

Shawn Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Okay, you are probably right, I have Pink Floyd in my iTunes library and I think Spotify imported it. Sorry for any confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Wheel Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 No worries, thanks for checking. Too bad no Floyd except Pulse (which I've head is awful) on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Pulse isn't awful, it's just not that inspired. It works better with the visual element of the DVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Berger Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Pulse isn't awful, it's just not that inspired. It works better with the visual element of the DVD. I agree with Shawn, Pulse is what it is is. You're much better off seeking recordings of the band from the 1970s, but it won't make you wince like Delicate Sound of Thunder.

Big Wheel Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 FWIW, he whole PF catalog is now available in Spotify after their Wish You Were Here publicity stunt last week. (They said that they'd open up everything after Wish You Were Here was streamed a million times.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dolan Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Just listened to Wish You Were Here on Blu-ray the other night with my son. First time he'd heard it, and really liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bresnahan Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Just listened to Wish You Were Here on Blu-ray the other night with my son. First time he'd heard it, and really liked it. The surround sound SACD is a real audio treat (if you like that sort of thing). Actually, the whole package is a real treat. If you like Floyd and like "Wish You Were Here", I'd recommend not waiting until it's gone. It may be one of those expensive discs in the future.
