I first discovered PF with "The Wall", which weirded me out a bit but was really genius. Then I loved "Momentary Lapse Of Reason" and it really made my interest in PF take off, so I bought the back catalogue. I liked "Division Bell" when it came out, but I've grown to love it more and more over the years.
My biggest question is why did they not record anything in those years after DB, when Rick was still alive? Or even after he died? I mean, 20 years and nothing?

It's just a guess, but possibly $$$? David may want to remodel the houseboat studio where all the "majic" happens...

Pink Floyd...with or without this one, with or without that one, relevant members, irrelevant members...whatever, I don't give a ****.
What I DO give a **** about is the music (regardless of the roster), and their music (all of it) is great, which is why I own it and will continue to do so.

This is where I come down where PF is concerned. In fact, I tend not to like post-Roger Waters or the Syd Barrett eras as much as I do the "middle period".
Also, Division Bell wasn't one of my favorites so I have to wonder about a new release drawn from those sessions. Still, I don't think it wise to dismiss the new release "sound unheard" simply because it wasn't done by my favorite iteration of Pink Floyd. Anything any of these guys does/did is worth giving a serious listen.

After Syd they descended into upper middle class pseudo socialist pretentious drivel as far as lyrics went - see The Wall if you want to have an example. Musically," Wish You Were here " is probably their high point, though I've a soft spot for DSOTM.
That said, I thought they were the second best thing in the Live8 concert - a league above the rest, bar one.

huh?

Waters may not be composing relevant music anymore, but his performances sure as heck are. You should see his Wall show live. It was incredible. I think even people who hate Pink Floyd would enjoy it.

Both. Some of the tracks were laid down in 94, the rest (some guitar, vocals etc) recorded in the last year or so.
