More Furious Madness from the
Massed Gadgets of Auximines
The 'missing' studio album from 1969
version 2.2
This project was conceived after
hearing the various available live recordings that exist of The Man and The
Journey shows that Pink Floyd played during the summer and autumn of 1969. What
would a studio album sound like if one had been recorded?
Most of the individual pieces are available in studio quality, or at least have
an equivalent. Many of the extra effects are also available on later recordings.
Here is my interpretation of what that studio album would sound like. And I
stress my interpretation! Some of the pieces played bore only slight resemblance
to released material, but I hope I have managed to convey the intended overall
sound. I make no excuses for using recorded material from much later dates;
the Floyd have recycled good ideas often enough.
The Man
Daybreak = Grantchester Meadows (Ummagumma)
plus birdsong from Cirrus Minor (More)
Work = Sysyphus pt 3 (Ummagumma)
Teatime = Entertainment part2 (Ummagumma) plus additional sounds and the 4:15
from Euston station
Afternoon = Biding My Time (Relics)
Doing It = Syncopated Pandemonium (Saucerful of Secrets) + Up the Khyber (More)
Sleep = Quicksilver (More) plus heavy breathing from Music from The Body
Nightmare = Cymbaline (More)
Daybreak reprise = Grantchester Meadows heavily edited and the birdsong again
plus effects
The Journey
The Beginning = Green is the Colour
(More) plus wave sound ripped from More film mpeg plus effects from Echoes (Meddle)
Best by Creatures of The Deep = Careful with that Axe Eugene (single B side)
plus a few species of Small Furry Animals (Ummagumma) and the wind from One
of These Days (Meddle)
The Narrow Way = The Narrow Way part 3 (Ummagumma)
The Pink Jungle = Pow R Toc H (Piper at the Gates of Dawn) with special guests
Syd Barrett and assorted friends of the Effervescing elephant
Labyrinths of Auximines = parts of Interstellar Overdrive live and the footsteps
and doors sequence from this piece as played in Amsterdam 17.09.69
Behold the Temple of Light = Sysyphus pt 4 edits (Ummagumma) introduced by guitar
from Narrow Way and the Floyds beloved windmachine
The End of the Beginning = Celestial Voices from Saucerful of Secrets with additional
chorus from live version (Ummagumma)
Throughout additional sound effects
are derived from Soundscapes (P*U*L*S*E)
Therefore virtually all you hear are Floyd recordings. The exceptions being
the train on Work and the animals on Pink Jungle.

23.12.02
During the Summer of 69 Pink Floyd
performed two suites of music live; The Man and The Journey. These were possibly
considered for an album release, but with the release of the the More soundtrack
and the evolution of the Ummagumma studio parts this concept would have been
abandoned.
However it is possible to anticipate what an album of these two suites may have
sounded like. This is my interpretation. It is essentially constructed from
studio tracks of the individual parts of the two suites, with some live recordings
where necessary. These are supplemented with sound effects almost entirely of
Floydian origin; either to supplement the tracks, or to links the tracks
These should be burned to audio with 0 seconds between tracks, except at the
point between the two suites - between tracks 8 and 9
