Does anyone remember a surfer movie called "Crystal Voyager" that used this track with their innovative "in the wave" photography? The movie was played with Jimi's Maui movie "Rainbow Bridge."

Just listened to this version the other day!!!!!!!
The live version from Gilmours concert in Gdansk was godlike as well..wrights last show :(...

So I saw a documentary on this last week and the "sonar pings" are actually a normal piano run through a Hammond Leslie.

So, I really like this song, but I despise when it's played.  I'm on EST, working to finish a thesis - which means late hours in a research lab on my own.  There is something totally, totally creepy about the humpback whalesque squeals during the ethereal instrumental.  My plea is for you to avoid playing it from midnight to 3 AM PST for the next two weeks - those be the witching hours over here!  lol

Thanks for motivating late night research with all of the other great music!

 (btw, i think it's brilliant that someone created a devil pimp icon)

Meddle was a highly-innovative album in its time, with its eclectic mix of soundscapes and styles. I never had a copy, sadly, but enjoyed it immensely when I visited friends houses to sit in the bedroom listening to LPs. This and Relics contained some of Floyd's most interesting and quirky music. The later stuff was pretty good, too, but 'harder' and cynical (with good reason). The early stuff was delightfully innocent, naive, dare I say 'fluffy'. Thanks for playing this track in full, though I can understand it pissing off some listeners, and can sympathise with them. As Joe Strummer said: F*ckin' long, innit? 8 from the laid-back Nottingham jury.

Fuck * Yeah

Andrew Lloyd Weber listened to this? Sounded just like Phantom of the Opera for a minute there.

Well put - it is as good as the bright warm sun.

.........THERE IS NEVER EVER TOO MUCH PF....TURN TO EZ LISTENING, AND LET THE FLOYD PLAY ON!!

When that thumping bass kicks in and the organ and guitar shoot to the forefront of the mix - awesome!!

Might just have to go out and purchase this remix - sounds fat and clean. 

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..................

truly awesome...

It's really neat to scroll through a song that has long been out of the rotation.  Who are all these people?  Where did they run off to?

Go rent Phantom of the Opera tonight.  Scary is right.  Lloyd Weber appropriated a bit of this for his musical.

The best version was when I saw them @ Milwaukee County Stadium in 1976 live. At least, as I remember it. The Mr. Natural was really kickin' in about then.
