Roger Waters has released a new version of the Pink Floyd classic “Time.” The track is featured on his re-recording of The Dark Side of the Moon.
The new version of “Time” doubles down on the mellow. It also features similar crooning-like vocals as heard on Waters’ new rendition of “Money.”
As for the album, The Dark Side of the Moon Redux comes out on October 6. The album is available for pre-save here, while exclusive physical formats are available for pre-order on RogerWaters.com.
News of Waters’ re-recording of Pink Floyd’s classic 1973 album first emerged in February. Waters explained the idea to re-record the album came when he was recording Lockdown Sessions, an album of reworked songs from his time with Pink Floyd and as a solo artist. Among the songs re-recorded is the classic Floyd track “Comfortably Numb” from The Wall.
“It occurred to me that ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ could well be a suitable candidate for a similar re-working, partly as a tribute to the original work, but also to re-address the political and emotional message of the whole album,” writes Waters. “I discussed it with [producer] Gus [Seyffert] and [filmmaker] Sean [Evans], and when we’d stopped giggling and shouting ‘You must be f—ing mad’ at one another we decided to take it on.”
