this is literally the first time this record has been spun- it was a sealed copy until about five minutes ago, when i figured why the hell not?!
piggybacking on what i said earlier about rick wright songs not getting much attention, give me summer 68 over if and fat old sun any day. they’re all great songs, but rick’s is my preference on this album.
i was going to post ‘one of these days’ as that is the song that hooked me to pink floyd, but i think i’ll use this post as an excuse to post ‘echoes’ synced to the final segment of 2001.
Update. This one is going on my Best of Year list. Killer music and performance. Demo sound quality. Stateside Forced Exposure still shows “limited stock”. Recommended.
Note. I think I heard about this in the preorder forum. Cheers .
david gilmour surprised lots of fans when he included this track on his 2006 tour setlist. obscured by clouds is probably the hidden gem in the floyd discography, tucked away between meddle and dark side of the moon, and showed they could make a good record in a short amount of time.
