Everything Under the Sun by Mike Cormack
Pink Floyd are one of the most iconic and influential rock bands in the world: their sonic ambition, lyrical dexterity and structural ability are unparalleled in rock music. Since their formation in 1965, they have released 15 studio albums and sold over 250 million records. Their eighth album, Dark Side of the Moon, is one of the highest-selling British albums in the world. Mike Cormack takes a deep dive into the music of Pink Floyd, resulting in the first serious appraisal of the band’s immense achievements, whilst also giving an overview of the UK’s concurrent social and political history as seen through the prism of the band. In addition to a song-by-song analysis, Mike also shares exclusive band interviews, a full chronology and gig guide, and a full bootleg guide. Everything Under the Sun is the definitive account of the career of rock’s most devastatingly emotional and articulate band.Mike Cormack is from the north of Scotland and has had a lengthy media career, mostly focusing on China, where he first arrived in 2007, but also writing on politics, music and business. He was the books editor for thechinaproject.com, the leading English language website about China, and an occasional book reviewer for The Spectator, the Times Literary Supplement and South China Morning Post amongst others.
Mike is a life-long, second-generation fan of Pink Floyd. Despite his love of books, music is his main passion, where he likes everything from heavy metal to disco to jazz to Abba.
