Pink Floyd: How they changed to predict history
Pink Floyd's The Wall can be considered a great album simply by its many accolades. It's the best-selling double album in history. One of the best-selling albums ever. A record that inspired a full-length feature film and whose release was followed by one of the most epic rock tours.
But numbers and dry facts rarely tell the whole truth, especially in the case of The Wall. This record was conceived as a "wall" between the band and its fans, but instead became one within the band itself. It was conceived as autobiographical, but instead became literally prophetic, predicting human history.
In a new video on the KONTRAPUNKT channel, we talk about a musical album that, immediately upon its release, went far beyond music.
