That one record changed everything for me. After Sgt. Pepper, it's the most influential record in the history of rock and roll. It affected Pink Floyd deeply, deeply, deeply.

We were being put somewhere interesting from being involved with analog, to working with digital. Those two worlds just collided and it felt great!

I subsequently got a record deal because of that.
