Of all the bands that are out there today, I would say the current Pink Floyd would not be someone in a band like the way Pink Floyd was. Let me explain. Pink Floyd was on the cutting edge of music.
They discovered and used sounds that band had never used in the past and they brought an experience with them when they played and created. I think the members of Pink Floyd today would be more into Electronic music and perhaps something more bordering on a sound like DubStep. Today I will say that perhaps, just perhaps a DJ like Bassnectar may be today's Pink Floyd.
Bassnectar often plays dark and deeper music than other DJs yet it blends together in a way that Pink Floyd could do the same. I was not fortunate enough to see Pink Floyd but I did get to see the Australian Pink Floyd Show It was amazing. But it wasn't only the music, it was the ability of the artists to blend sound with visual.It was a complete experience.
Bassnectar is also like that. There is a visual show that accompanies him and adds to the experience. I have included his most recent release below as the youtube video.
Listen for at least one minute and hear how dark and deep the sound gets. Very Pink Floyd like. I think Pink Floyd would have relished the ability to play with all the different sounds musicians now have access to.
We can only dream about what they would have created with these resources.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
