One of the best unknown Floyd tunes of all time |

Pedro1874 Sep 20, 2012 - 11:24 | Thanks to RP I am becoming re-acquainted with some of my older albums that have been gathering dust! Always loved this but have not heard it for a loong time. Looking forward to enjoying the whole album tonight. |
fredriley Sep 20, 2012 - 11:18 | Nice one, RP - a Floyd song I've never heard (of), and I thought I'd heard them all, from an album I've never heard of. The sound is a clear precursor to Dark Side of the Moon. |

I guess it's because I feel that there's a "rawer" and more direct quality to them. Any recommendations on similar tunes? I've long enjoyed their entire catalog from Saucerful of Secrets through Meddle . Skipping Ummagumma *, that leaves More and Atom Heart Mother in addition to the aforementioned and Obscured By Clouds . in my opinion Piper At the Gates of Dawn is for collectors only, as well as those obsessed with the sound of 1966 "Swinging London" (although I do enjoy Interstellar Overdrive and See Emily Play ). I wish they had produced more music like the two tracks you called out, but then Roger pretty much assumed creative control. While DSoM is touted as billing wholly collaborative, from that point on I feel as though their product was that of Roger Waters and his hired sidemen. David Gilmour was able to periodically shout him down and insist on some melody, but the latter was never a lyricist. I also wish that Rick Wright had been more demonstrative, as his keyboard pieces were frequently very evocative. * Ummagumma is one-half live album, one-half "each member does whatever". If you love their early space-rock sound (I do), then it's a must. Don't expect any great lyrical content on this release, however |
dwlangham Sep 20, 2012 - 11:17 | Not sure how it is I have never heard this before now. I clicked over thinking it was Gilmour solo. Surprised indeed to see it's Pink Floyd from waaaaay back in the way back when. |
