«Тяжелый металл» называют и совестью рок-н-ролла, и его могильщиком. С конца 1960-х и до наших дней это совершенно самостоятельная музыкальная вселенная со своими остывающими и сверхновыми звездами, своей табелью о рангах, своим кодексом чести. «Металлические» короли и их свита не обращают внимания на то, что происходит в других мирах. В однообразии и нормативности «металлической» музыки - залог ее поразительной живучести. Здесь, как в каком-нибудь эстрадном свинге, достаточно было открыть пару-тройку эффектных ходов, чтобы создать целую эстетику. Навязчивый рифф, атакующий припев, инструментальное соло - три заповеди «тяжелого металла», объединенные идеей форсированного звука.

Pink Floyd released their first single in 1967, and as their popularity around the world grew, they increasingly travelled outside the UK to perform live shows and make TV appearances. After The Dark Side of the Moon became a global smash, the band concentrated on the creative freedom of live performance, leaving the world of TV behind, but now, after painstaking research, tapes of those early historic appearances have been tracked down and compiled into a fascinating hour of early Pink Floyd. With front man Syd Barrett, they perform Astronomy Domine and Jugband Blues, and after Syd's departure, Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Richard Wright and Nick Mason can be seen playing a full range of their eclectic material, from out and out pop in It Would Be So Nice, through instrumental improvisations, collaboration with choir and orchestra on Atom Heart Mother and enduring rock material like Wot's...Uh The Deal.
