From Pink Floyd to Giorgio then: the albums of the week

The one that promises to be the definitive version of the soundtrack of the film shot by the director Adrian Maben with the Pink Floyd in Pompeii in 1971 will finally be available. Published by Pink Floyd Music and distributed by Sony Music Entertainment, the first “unpublished” publication of Pink Floyd for Sony will be available starting May 2 in the following formats: 2LP, 2CD, Blu-ray, DVD and streaming. For the first time, therefore, the music of Maben’s film will be distributed on original vinyl and in the Dolby Atmos version. And this, in the week of outings, is already an event. But it is not over: on May 2, Giorgio’s new album will also be released, Elodie’s and Suzanne Vega’s. A wide variety of genres and publications.

Pink Floyd – “Pink Floyd at Pompeii McMLXXII”

The performance of the 1971 Pink Floyd in Pompeii will be published for the first time on an official, complete and remastered disc. “Pink Floyd at Pompeii McMLXXII”, which follows the restoration of the film (here our article), will be released on May 2 on CD, digitally, in Dolby Atmos and in vinyl, with a mix of Steven Wilson. The audio of the new version was digitally remastered and mixed by Wilson. “Since my father has made me washing the brain playing The Dark Side of the Moon repeated, the Pink Floyd have been my favorite group. They are my Beatles, deeply rooted in my musical DNA,” said Wilson. “I saw Pompeii for the first time by a coated copy in a local cinema – he continued – made me an incredible impression, with his free and exploratory rock music made by four musicians who seemed to embody the notion of cool intellectual. It was an honor remixing the soundtrack to accompany the incredible restoration of the Lana Topham film, which seems to have been shot yesterday”.

Elodie – “Love me hate me”

Two years after “Ok. Breath”, Elodie returns with a new unreleased album. He arrives after the twelfth place at the Sanremo 2025 festival with “forgetting at 7”. It is titled “I love me I hate me”, as the single who anticipated him, in which the Roman singer sings: “Men speak for me / as if they read my mind / but my life is not a Broadway premiere / titles that infamous for two money”. For spring, the voice of “Andromeda” puts a lot of meat on the fire: the album comes out almost in conjunction with the participation of Elodie in the Cannes Film Festival, scheduled from 13 to 24 May, where the singer will present the new film that sees her co-protagonist, “Outside”, directed by Mario Martone, in which he starred next to Valeria Golino and Matilda De Angelis. At the beginning of the year we had seen it in “dangerous game” by Lucio Pellegrini. On the album also the duet with Tiziano Ferro on “Feeling” released last autumn.

Suzanne Vega – “Flying with Angels”

Suzanne Vega has announced her first album in over ten years, entitled “Flying with Angels” and shared a new song that makes you think: “Speakers’ Corner”. By sharing the news on social media, Vega confirmed that the new album will be released on May 2nd and is now available for pre-order. “‘Flying with Angels’ is my first studio job, with new songs, after eleven years”, reads the post. “Each piece of the album takes place inside an atmosphere of struggle. Struck to survive, to speak, to dominate, to win, to escape, to help someone else or simply to live”. His new single from the album, entitled “Speakers’ Corner”, is a musically brilliant, but reflective and gloomy song from the lyrical point of view, which reason about how today it is easier and more dangerous than ever to say one’s opinion on social media.

Giorgio then – “Schegge”

Consecrate oneself as one of the most inspired and talented signatures of the Italian songwriting scene of these years: this is what Giorgio is the point with “Schegge”, the fourth studio album of the “Mac Demarco” of the Italian India. The album comes four years after the previous – and beautiful – “rubber -tap” and was anticipated by the individual “men against insects” and “legs”. We wrote it some time ago, speaking of him: Giorgio then resembles the songs he writes. They are not hits, mines, bombs, terms that characterize the language of Italian music of these years, as if music was a war on those who shoot the biggest rocket. But reassuring songs that put you at peace with the world. Those of “splinters”, trust me, will confirm it.
