The backmasked message I quoted earlier occurs in Pink Floyd's album The Wall concerning Syd Barrett. Most commentaries seem to put the backmasked messageat the end of Goodbye Blue Sky and prior to Empty Spaces

However, if I remember the sequence correctly, the backmasking comes at the end of Mother and before Goodbye Blue Sky.

I don't have a copy of The Wall anymore so if anyone out there can help me, just nod if you can hear me...

Hope that clears up the misunderstanding. I thought you were a PF fan on other Floyd threads when I pinged you. Kinda pinging by memory--sorry.

Its in the intro to Empty Spaces, just as the marching beat builds.

C'mon think man...Mother ends side one of the LP. Side two starts with birds chirping and "Look Mummy, there's an aeroplane up in the sky".

I can see how people can get turned off by all the radio play of Another Brick, Comfortably Numb and, even I've come to depsise Young Lust. I think you need to take the album as a whole and don't get me started on the movie. I must have seen it over a hundred times. Very powerful.

But that's Roger's story...this is Syd's thread. I've never really felt sad over a celebrity passing. I don't know why, but today I'm sad.

I used to have their records,
but when I read your comment,
I went out and burned them.

(Backward masking's evil, dont'cha know.)
