This one is for Pink Floyd fans but all others are welcome to take a shot.

Did you ever wonder about ..

1. Who actually said the words "There is no darkside of the moon really .." in Pink Floyd's classic album from 1973?

2. Who is Pink and who is Floyd?

3. What is the "Austin Powers" connection to Pink Floyd? (This one maybe a stretch, think Dr. Evil and his plans!)

4. What language is Roger Water speaking in "Atom Heart Mother" ?

5. Why was Nick Mason (and rest of the band) so thankful to Jimmie Hendrix?

6. During the famous fiasco of mid-'80s Roger Waters wouldn't let the band use "The Pink Floyd Pig" on tour. How did Nick and Dave get around that problem?

7. Which Floyd band member is a former race car driver? (even raced in 24-Hour Le Mans)

8. Which genre of pop chart did the song "Another Brick In The Wall - Part II" entered in when it was first release as a single?

9. What is the source of the screeching sounds (along with wind blowing) in the middle part of the song "Echoes"

10. Which Pink Floyd song is most covered all over the world, including many Bangladeshi bands back in the '90s

Good evening and hello Cluster11 brother, my most respectful greetings to you and your band. I have checked out your work, your piano/organ work and your female vocalist' incredible voice and singing! I am not a musician, but I appreciate musik heavily and I admire the sound that your band is creating/producing. Do you play at clubs in Atlanta? Are you getting ready to cut a record, or you already have one? I truly enjoyed your music, Cluster11 bhai.


I have been meaning to take a shot at your Pink Floyd Thread a while back but coudn't get to it til now. I might be wrong at some of the guesses but I will take a stab at it anyway...see what you think...

1. "There is no dark side of the moon really..." The final words are Jerry Driscoll's or said by Roger the Hat who was a roadie but I do not think of Pink Floyd, but he was a roadie for other bands.
2. Pink Floyd: 2 Afrikan American blues (delta blues?) singers/guitar player/musicians: Pink Anderson and Floyd Council
3. "Lucifer Sam" ??? Uncredited in "Austin Powers"???
4. Xx...I don't know this...
5. Nick Mason, Pink Floyd’s gratefulness to Jimmie Hendrix comes from the inspiration Jimmie provided to tens of millions of guitar players across the world during Mason’s time and still today!
6. Xx...I don't know this...
7. Race Car Driver…Drummer Nick Mason
8. Progressive Rock?
9. Xx...I don't know this...
10. "Wish You Were Here"?
