About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Atom Heart Mother, for all its glories, was an acquired taste, and Pink Floyd wisely decided to trim back its orchestral excesses for its follow-up, Meddle. Opening with a deliberately surging "One of These Days," Meddle spends most of its time with sonic textures and elongated compositions, most notably on its epic closer, "Echoes." If there aren't pop songs in the classic sense (even on the level of the group's contributions to Ummagumma), there is a uniform tone, ranging from the pastoral "A Pillow of Winds" to "Fearless," with its insistent refrain hinting at latter-day Floyd. Pink Floyd were nothing if not masters of texture, and Meddle is one of their greatest excursions into little details, pointing the way to the measured brilliance of Dark Side of the Moon and the entire Roger Waters era. Here, David Gilmour exerts a slightly larger influence, at least based on lead vocals, but it's not all sweetness and light -- even if its lilting rhythms are welcome, "San Tropez" feels out of place with the rest of Meddle. Still, the album is one of the Floyd's most consistent explorations of mood, especially from their time at Harvest, and it stands as the strongest record they released between Syd's departure and Dark Side.

March 02, 2009: Forget the first 5 tracks, go directly to Echoes. It is worth every penny and more. This is a timeless piece and gives you a clue to where they are going from here to Dark Side of the Moon. I can see myself floating in the ocean with this, going all over from Antarctica

to the Carribean and beyond........ what a beautiful piece.

I Also Recommend: The The Dark Side of the Moon, The The Dark Side of the Moon.

December 25, 2008: one of the greaest pink floyd albums ever made. meddle is a great album
with great songs and great creativity.opening with track 1 one of
theses days with the wind effects then the bassline comming in
dubble basses played by roger waters and david gilmour. then affter
nickmason saying the volcal phrase one of these days im gonna cut you into
litte pieces its a full rock out at the end of that track then wind effects
close the track then mixing into track 2 a pillow of winds a verry moving
song and gilmours volcals are amazing. then fades out. then to track 3
fearless. another great song thats a masterpiece closes with youl never
walk alone/ then to track 4 santropez bluesey country style track with
roger waters on lead volcals/ then track 5/ a quick track seamus the shortest track on the album. with david singinng a bit on the track and
a dog howling. then track 6 echoes the 23 minute track that closes the album. starts out with a single note played by the late richard wright.
then the rogers bass and davids gutair comes in, then nicks drums.
and the blended volcals by gilmour/wright are amazing. then a long instermental session in the track and fades into soundeffects winds and
whalle effects. then wright keyboards come in again. andfull insterments
and one more verse by gilmour/wright/ then the last 3 mins. intermental
and closes with wind effects and bits of wrights keyboard playing
