These guys are the new Radiohead!

Beautiful and scary...

With the possible exception of "St. Stephan" from Live Dead,
"Echoes", original OR remix, is the greatest album-side length piece in rock history. Loved it then' love it now, and love heeb's little emoticon chorus line !

The problem is that this remix is now too short to function as an alternate soundtrack to the "Stargate" sequence from 2001: A Space Odyssey, like it's supposed to. Instructions here.

Still have to agree with myself...

aaaahhhhhhh.....

This was a TEN back then
It's a TEN now
It will be a TEN forever!!!

I beg to differ on the Waters comment. Although I agree with your statement regarding the direction in the "Tortured Childhood Act" I really don't think that came into play until "The Wall", and of course, the final *real* Floyd album "The Final Cut". Alhtough Waters did progressively take more and more control over Floyd as time went on one cannnot group Animals and Wish You Were Here with the aforementioned albums.

Dude! Pass the bong!

What a great way to wrap up the last (work) day of the year. Thanks Bill!

Reply: You are so right; and the ache of the nostalgia gets deep into my gut, too.

Have to post again, because the windup is so exciting. Yes, I could listen to another 6.5 minutes of this. But you did a fantastic segue into Delirium by Daylight, which seems a great followup. I have to echo TreborG2: " . . . because I haven't found anything else out there that is as diverse, or is as wonderfully listenable to, as Radio Paradise is.--
If nothing else, Bill should be a billionare for being able to program such different pieces of music together and have literally thousands of people who really *WANT* to listen this station and are very thankful for him and his work.--
and I try to thank Bill, Rebecca, and Radio Paradise in just about every post..."

Also, I want to thank the other listeners who posted so much knowledgeable info on Pink Floyd and its albums! Dear fellow listeners trancefussion, pcurtner, darklyng, and radiofreephoenix, you are teaching me so much, and I have never met you!! You are a coterie of great rock-music tutors for me! I also agree with whoever said thanks for the cleanness of the track.

Sorry for those who don't like this type of music, but I am hereby requesting the long version to be played sometime.
" . . . because I haven't found anything else out there that is as diverse, or is as wonderfully listenable to, as Radio Paradise is.--

Sometimes just hearing a PF treasure like this one, reminds me how excellent these guys were. These guys were not writers, they were composers.

It's just to early in the morning to break out the bong! I enjoyed it anyway. Thanks! :oops:

Is it over yet? Can I put my headphones back on?

Well I wish I could join you...say about January or February when the rain here in Portland is starting to mek me loopy.

Sounds like you reall have a good 'chruch' on Sunday.

Its one of those tunes that you sort of want to listen to in a "special" mood. Not sure I'd want to see it on heavy rotation in the playlist...

Brings back fond, fuzzy memories!

when will this song be over??????? Too "spacey" for my mood!

** INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPER LISTENING OF THIS SONG: **

- wait for nighttime

- get comfy

- lie down, on back, preferably on carpet

- put speakers on both sides of your head

- adjust volume to comfortable level

- see you in an hour or so.

- enjoy!

comment? any comment I could potentialy make would be an injustice to the genius of this musical composition.

Prime Pink Floyd from one of their greatest albums, Meddle, (although they were all fantastic up to and including Dark Side). This has always been one of their greatest numbers when performed Live. This is from before the band started becoming the Roger Waters Tortured Childhood Act; (I’m glad he finally departed after dragging the band in that direction for several albums). Fantastic musically and excellent lyrically (even though most people don’t listen to their lyrics during this period- they should).
Thank you Radio Paradise; you made my day.

The difference is 6 1/2 minutes. The original Echoes is 23:27 while the remix is 16:30.

I'm normally pretty burned out on Pink Floyd, having worn out the grooves on most of those old records -- probably just grew out of some of the teenage angst on stuff like The Wall. But this one track still hits me though, great music! Can't remember exactly how this remix differs from the original, but it works! :)

i have everything (and i mean evrything) by pink floyd and this is one of my favs. ;) in fact every sunday morning for the last 20 years or so, i have a ritual of sorts, i get up, fix my java, and put on a few hours of floyd and reflect on my week. friends often stop by and join me.

Echoes - One of the better Pink Floyd tracks from the early "Meddle" album. I first had this copied as a cassette from a friend in the 70's, then for better sound quality bought and then wore out the album. I replaced that recently with a new "Meddle" CD purchase... after hearing this clean track on Radio Paradise, see how Internet Radio works?

*Ping!*
Conn, sonar! Submarine off the port bow!

HA! I'm glad I'm not the only person that did that! You just don't get the same sense of adventure with modern technology!

Huzzahhh!!!!! this just made my day!
Remember in the mid seventies, my aunt gave me this album...

One day after smokin' too much hash, threw this on the headphones- got way TOO deep into the music and wound up becoming SO disoriented I wound up puking off the front porch!

Still one of my FAVORITE Floyd tunes!!!!

However, glad that i'm sober now, so i can listen to this without barfing on my front lawn

:)

What a great way to start my work day!
