Think Floyd, the first
Pink Floyd tribute band in the UK, were
formed in London, England in May 1994 by four talented musicians
who were also huge Pink Floyd fans.
When they played "Comfortably Numb"
for the first time the audience response was amazing, they
knew they had made the right decision. Their popularity
grew. They have gone on to perform at many major venues
including the Royal Festival Hall in London,
England .
Their live repertoire has included the classic masterpieces
from "Dark Side of The Moon", "Animals"
and "The Wall" as well as old favourites such
as Arnold Layne and Bike and more recent material from "The
Division Bell".
Many of the Think Floyd fans in the audience
would say how they would love to hear new Floyd Music, and
so the members of the band were inspired to write their
own songs influenced by the writing of Roger Waters,
David Gilmour, Rick Wright, Nick Mason and of course
Syd Barrett.
In 1997 the band decided that it was time to use their
experience and musicianship to write their own material
and so set themselves apart from the standard tribute bands.
As established and experienced songwriters with this was
no problem and Think Floyd soon had their
first album
Hope completed.
This was a successful move. Their CDs Hope
and Beyond Boundaries
have received worldwide critical acclaim and have
sold thousands of copies all over the world. Hope
is available for download on many of the MP3 download
sites including itunes and Napster.
Of their 2nd album "Beyond
Boundaries" Michael Simone of the Roger
Waters Fan Club in Los Angeles U.S.A says in
his review:
"Once again, Think Floyd
has released an exceptional album. With Tony Red's musical
genius, Think Floyd is able to create completely new and
original musical landscapes painted on a Floydian canvas.
If you like Pink Floyd, Roger Waters, and new original music,
you will love this album! It is a must have for everyone".
