I think Gottsching did it before Gilmour.
Inventions for electric gtr Recorded July-August 74 in Studio Roma (Berlin). The Wall, where he really made it a thematic element, began recording Jan 1979. Manuel NEVER gets that great Gilmour playing tone, though.

Nah! Gilmour was doing this in 1968/9, and Syd was straining his echoplex from 1966 onwards. Manuels tone is awful I agree. I used to refuse to listen to Pink Floyd mark 2, but now i have woken up to their greatness.Gilmour is one of the few truly melodic and aimless solo free, lead guitarists from that era.Georgeous stuff. I'd post that massive Pink Floyd box set, but i'm sure i'll get done for that,so if you aint got it, it'll have to be a private transaction....don't buy it ffs!

ps Gottsching wasn't even first in germany...Achim Reichel was there in about 1971...A.R.(Achim Reichel) and Machines is up next.
