Englands leading progressive band at that time, PINK FLOYD began recording their 6th album Meddle at Abbey Road Studios in 1971. The predecessor of the mighty Dark side of the moon, opens with the hypnotic One of these days, a great opener. at the ending it is moving slightly into A pillow of winds. Followers are a few odd songs mainly San Tropez (their favorite hang-out at the time) played in a laid-back jazz-style and the even more odd Seamus with a dog taking over lead vocals. All of the B-Side (of the vinyl edition that is) is taken by the enormous Echoes. This is just pure perfection, the quiet beginning, the LSD-sounding middle part, the perfect ending, this track has it all. More than 20 minutes of absolute musical joy. Best Tracks: One of these days, Echoes. Released in 1971. If you like this, be sure to buy the DVD Live at Pompeji. R.I.P. Richard Wright – 09.15.2008.
