6. Pink FloydWish You Were Here

Pink Floyd maybe led in the other direction from Black Sabbath, so to speak – if Black Sabbath were downwards Pink Floyd were upwards. In hippie terms, their music went into the universe, and of course in 1975 I also walked around like a hippie when I went to school, and I could just completely identify with this music. It was just so limitless, there were no borders; it floated. At the same time I first saw the movie Pink Floyd: Live At Pompeii, which became a key feature in my life. As a matter of fact, when I formed Triptykon I got my three fellow musicians to my home and I sat them down in my living room and I played them the DVD of Pink Floyd: Live At Pompeii. I told them: "You cannot possibly play in this band unless you’ve seen this movie." That was the indoctrination for my younger co-musicians; that’s how important this band is to me.
