Roger Waters has released two more songs off his re-imagining of Pink Floyd‘s The Dark Side of the Moon, which he calls The Dark Side of the Moon Redux, in celebration of the album’s 50th anniversary.
This time it’s the first two tracks on the album — “Speak to Me” into “Breathe” — which are accompanied by a lyric video.
On the original, “Speak to Me” is an instrumental with Floyd drummer Nick Mason replicating a heartbeat on his drums. But for this album,
Waters has added spoken word lyrics to it, which are from “Free Four” off the album just before Dark Side, 1972’s Obscured By Clouds.
The Dark Side of the Moon Redux will be released on October 6th. The two-disc vinyl edition will include a 13-minute bonus track, “Original Composition,” which was inspired by the rerecording.
Waters will play the album in its entirety at the London Palladium on October 8th and 9th.
