Think Floyd

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Think Floyd are a British tribute band to Pink Floyd, who specialises in creating an authentic and 'full' Floyd sound, often playing a complete version of The Wall at live shows.

The band plays annually at the Lindos Floyd Festival in Lindos, Rhodes, in Greece, a small village where the members of Pink Floyd spent their spare time.

[edit] History

Think Floyd were formed in May 1994.

In 1997 they decided that it was time to write their own material and set themselves apart from the standard tribute bands.

Think Floyd's first album Hope was released in 1997. The Roger Waters Fan Club in California USA wrote of this album:

Think Floyd Hope is one of the most fantastic albums I have ever heard, I can't stop listening to it, these guys are extremely talented, Hope is a work of genius. Every Pink Floyd fan owes it to themselves to own a copy.

Brian Duell left the band after four years and was replaced by Rick Melville in 1998. Brian is now living in Wales and having a successful career writing for TV and video as well as composing material for various CD releases on his own label "Sister Moon Music". The most recent Celtica is due to be released late 2005. He has also been actively involved in running his own studio and producing other singer songwriters.

The second album from Think Floyd Beyond Boundaries was released in January 2000.
