Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason has shared his thoughts on Roger Waters’ re-recording of ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’ – hailing it as “absolutely brilliant”.Waters announced that he would be re-recording the iconic Pink Floyd LP without his former bandmates earlier this year.

The original release – which first debuted in 1973 – is lauded as one of the greatest records of all time, and celebrates its 50th anniversary this month.Now, drummer Nick Mason has shared his opinion on his bandmate’s upcoming release, and confirmed that he has already heard snippets of the project.“I heard the rumour that Roger was working on his own version of it,” he said when speaking at a playback of ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’, at London’s Dolby Atmos Immersive Studio. “There was this suggestion that this was going to be a spoiler and Roger was going to go head-to-head with the original version and so on.”He continued: “He actually sent me a copy of what he was working on and I write to him and said, ‘Annoyingly, it’s absolutely brilliant!’ It was and is.

It’s not anything that would be a spoiler for the original at all, it’s an interesting add-on to the thing.”Currently, Mason has teamed up with Spandau Ballet’s Gary Kemp, and performs early Pink Floyd tracks under the band name Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets.The 79-year-old musician also explained why he supports the concept of re-visiting classic tracks and presenting them in a new way – stating it allows musicians to “develop” the original release.“One of the things I like about any sort of existing piece of music is to develop it or find some extra quality in it,” he said.
