Low

This redirect has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

This redirect was a past project collaboration.

To-do list:

Fair use

Add fair use rationale to all images and sound samples (all except images already labeled free use).
Re-size large images around to 300 pixels (all "fair use" images), other than album covers (already done).

Articles

Expand all articles to at least Start class. Some song stubs can't be expanded and should be redirected to the relevant album article. Use the "Interstellar Overdrive" article as an example when editing a song stub.
Expand all of the Floyd's studio album articles to at least GA status.
See COTM for monthly collabs.

Project building

Add WikiProject Pink Floyd banner {{WPFloyd}} to all appropriate Talk pages.
Personally invite quality editors working on Pink Floyd articles to join the project.

If you complete one of these tasks, please remove it from the list.

Genre Change[edit]

I suggest add to the genre of this song the genre Avant-gard. This music as "Main Theme" from the same album, has both elements of Avant-gard and Progressive rock. We have a conflict here, in the Soundtrack from the Film More article says : More contains some acoustic folk ballads, a genre that will appear sparsely on later works, a couple of hard rock songs ("The Nile Song", "Ibiza Bar"), and some instrumental tracks featuring their experimental (or avant-garde) approach and their trademark spacey/electronic sound (such as "Quicksilver" and "Main Theme"). But in the article of these song they are listed as Progressive rock. Other songs of the same genre, "Syncopated Pandemonium" and "The Grand Vizier's Garden Party, are listed as Avant-garde. I wainting the opinion of other wikipedians to change the genre.--Italodal (talk) 22:38, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've addressed points about other songs you mentioned on the page for "Main Theme". For this song, while I agree it's strange music, I believe it was designed for its role in the film's soundtrack, and has no connection to abstract classical avant garde music. As I've stated on another talk page, I think that when the song articles for this album were created, all were labelled "psychedelic rock" initially, and it's appropriate to review them now. I would agree that progressive rock is more appropriate than psychedelic, and will propose this change. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 09:37, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
