Pink Floyd - Kyoto 1972

Review by Jeroen de Rooij

Pink Floyd’s Kyoto 1972: A Psychedelic Rock Time Capsule from Japan (Yeah, You Read That Right) So, here we are talking about Kyoto 1972, an album that didn’t even exist until 2013. Confused? Me too. Apparently, someone dug up this gem—a live recording of Pink Floyd rocking out in Japan—and slapped a label on it (Sigma, to be exact). And let me tell you, if you’re into psychedelic rock with enough atmospheric twists to make your brain do somersaults, this one’s for you. First off, the tracklist is basically a “Greatest Hits” playlist but with all the rawness of a live show. You’ve got classics like Money and The Great Gig in the Sky, plus deep cuts like Careful With That Axe, Eugene. But two tracks stuck in my head like gum under a desk: Time and One of These Days. Let me break ‘em down for ya. Time hits hard, man. It starts off feeling like someone forgot to press play—just ticking clocks and weird alarms—but then BAM! The bassline kicks in, and suddenly you're questioning every life choice you've ever made. Seriously, it’s impossible not to feel like time itself is mocking you while Dave Gilmour's guitar wails away. By the end, I was half-inspired, half-depressed, and fully convinced I need to start meditating or something. Then there’s One of These Days. Oh boy. If paranoia had a soundtrack, this would be it. That creepy intro synth line sounds like robots plotting world domination, and when Nick Mason finally growls, “One of these days, I’m gonna cut you into little pieces,” well…let’s just say it’s not exactly bedtime music. Still, it’s so hypnotic you can’t help but hit repeat. Like, who knew terror could sound so cool? Now, here’s the kicker: listening to this album feels like eavesdropping on history. Sure, it’s technically a bootleg turned official release, but doesn’t that make it even cooler? It’s like finding your grandpa’s secret diary and realizing he was way more interesting than you thought. Final thought: If Pink Floyd were alive today, they’d probably be annoyed by how overanalyzed their work has become. So maybe don’t overthink this one. Just crank up the volume, light a candle (or whatever), and let Kyoto 1972 remind you why rock music used to actually rock. Or hey, maybe aliens will beam us all aboard after hearing it—you never know.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: Pink Floyd’s *Kyoto 1972* album is a hidden gem for fans. It wasn’t officially released until 2013, even though the recordings are from decades earlier. The album captures their iconic psychedelic rock sound live in Japan. Tracks like *Money* and *The Great Gig in the Sky* feel electric in this setting. What makes it special? It’s raw, unpolished, and shows just how powerful their live performances were. A must-listen for any true fan.
