Neat to think that this is Nottamun Town—-an olde English tune. (I think on Fairport "What We Did on Our Holidays."

Bob Dylan's angst about war meets Pink Floyd's unique prog-rock sound meets some very talented, tight musicians meets some decent writing meets some great production values. I hear much to like. If I was on the receiving end of PF royalties, I would feel flattered. |

RPWL is to Pink Floyd as Kingdom Come was to Led Zeppelin; they both have enough talent to do first rate imitations with (often) orignal songs that will ocassionally pass as songs by the original artists in their declining years |

I'm not usually one to say that covers are pointless. But this one is really weird, up there with the Reggae version of "Country Road" Bill plays. |

Agreed, post Waters Floyd just couldn't hold a candle. |

...and they've paid it - RPWL started as a pink floyd cover band, but have since moved on to original material, this particular dylan cover notwithstanding... |

The song in itself i'd say an easy 8.
The fact that it sounds exactly like Gilmour's Pink Floyd period, an easy 4.
That would make a 6 then.... Oh well...

Are you trying to tell me that Dave Gilmour is not involved in this track? Wow what an impersonation.

If it walks like a Floyd, talks like a Floyd, even quacks like a Floyd... can it aspire to Pinkness?
Yea, but as stated below in this thread there is a HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE difference between classic early Floyd and the stuff they did after Waters departure. I think this songs sounds like the latter Floyd which is not really a compliment.  |

...i was disappointed to learn that this is a dylan cover, not because i have any less respect for dylan, but because i was expecting more from the rest of this RPWL album than it delivered...

The band's name comes from the first letters of the original four members; Phil Paul Rissettio, Chris Postl, Karlheinz Wallner, and Yogi Lang.

The band was formed in 1997 in Freising, Germany <1> as a Pink Floyd cover band. ... After three years they started to make their own music based on their influences from their cover band era. source wikipediaI like your comment keller1  |
