{"product_id":"pink-floyd-discography-art-print-of-albums-and-musicians","title":"Pink Floyd Discography Tube Map Art Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eA gift for Pink Floyd fans who have argued for years about who was actually in the band and when, because this settles it across all 15 albums, with every credited musician running as their own line. They already own the records, and this is the argument drawn out in full.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiclée on 230gsm premium fine art paper, textured matte, archival and acid-free. Produced unframed or framed. Deeply researched and designed by me in East Sussex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI plot these in CAD software. Every credited musician becomes a transit line, every album becomes a station, and anyone who appears only once gets a branch line of their own.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThe stations run chronologically from The Piper at the Gates of Dawn in 1967 to The Endless River in 2014.

Only one line runs the entire length of this map, and it is not the one most people would guess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaid out as lines, the departures and returns stop being trivia and become the shape of the thing. It rewards every closer look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eContributing musicians on the map\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNick Mason is the only musician on all 15 albums. Not Gilmour, who is absent from the debut, and not Waters, whose line stops after The Final Cut in 1983.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRichard Wright's line has exactly one gap in it. He is on every album except The Final Cut, then returns for the last three. Syd Barrett appears only on the first two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDick Parry's saxophone is one of the map's best shapes: The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, then nothing for nineteen years until The Division Bell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClare Torry, whose wordless vocals made The Great Gig in the Sky, has two stations rather than the one most fans assume. She returns for The Wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wall is where the map gets crowded, pulling in Bruce Johnston and Toni Tennille, Jeff Porcaro, Roger Waters' son Harry, and the Children of Islington Green School.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen there are the two credits nobody believes until they see them. Seamus the Dog is a credited contributor on Meddle, and Stephen Hawking appears on two albums, The Division Bell and The Endless River.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do I make each print?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach one is a Giclée on 230gsm premium fine art paper with a textured matte finish, archival and acid-free, so the colours hold for years.
