Splurge on you crazy woman!

They ought to ban this place called Landmark. Or just shift my office elsewhere. Or maybe I could do with a little bit of self-restraint. But now is not the time to rue. That bit’s done while signing on the merchant’s copy of my bill payment. Landmark’s beautiful. Even if they don’t have any of Vikram Seth’s poem collections [Am I a lil too forgiving today?]. I have my precious copies tucked away.

So why raving about Landmark? They have something called a “Definitive collection” for various artists. And I got myself one of these beauties. Pink Floyd. Aaah!! The best part about this collection is that it is damn cheap. So you get 3 discs…yes…1…2…3 disks in one collection for a price of 600 INR!!! If you do some quick math here, you’ll realize that it comes to 200 Rupees a CD. Now where else will you get a Pink Floyd…no no…any decent English artist CD for 200 bucks?? But that’s not the best part. So there’s a 25% off on this collection, which means I paid 450 bucks for 3 CDs!!! Yay!

*Deep breath*

It’s not any CD collection either. The first 2 discs are from P.U.L.S.E and the third, A momentary lapse of reason. Naturally, the second disk is the whole of The dark side of the moon. I already have close to 3 copies of the album but even then, it’s totally worth it.

Below is the song list.

1. Shine On You Crazy Diamond
2. Astronomy Domine
3. What do you want from me
4. Learning to fly
5. Keep talking
6. Coming back to life
7. Hey you
8. A great day for freedom
9. Sorrow
10. High hopes
11. Another brick in the wall (Part two)

THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

1. Speak To Me
2. Breathe
3. On The Run
4. Time (including Breathe Reprise)
5. The Great Gig In The Sky
6. Money
7. Us And Them
8. Any Colour You Like
9. Brain Damage
10. Eclipse
11. Wish you were here
12. Comfortably numb
13. Run like hell

A MOMENTARY LAPSE OF REASON

1. Signs of Life
2. Learning To Fly
3. The Dogs of War
4. One Slip

10. A New Machine Part 2
11. Sorrow

The only thing I didnt like is the cover: It doesn’t have Roger Waters [because of the whole "Pink Floyd" royalty thing]. It just doesn’t look complete. And anyway, the pics of the other members ain’t too good either—they neither look like they used to do in the days of yore [long before I was born ] nor do they look like they do now. So the pic’s not becoming at all.

I wish it could’ve been something like this:

Next stop: Piper at the gates of dawn.

Okay then folks, time to get back to em, the Floyd.

I‘ll see you on the dark side of the moon!
