Album Notes Pink Floyd: Syd Barrett, David Gilmour (vocals, guitar); Roger Waters (vocals, bass); Richard Wright (keyboards); Nick Mason (drums).Recorded at EMI Studios, London, England.Pink Floyd's second album is a hesitant transition from the baroque acid whimsy of PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN into the futuristic space rock the group would refine through DARK SIDE OF THE MOON. Recorded as Syd Barrett was messily leaving the band (Barrett contributes one track, the cacophonous "Jugband Blues," though rumors persist that he plays on at least a couple of others), the album finds the remaining members, including new guitarist Dave Gilmour, exploring their new roles in public. Keyboardist Richard Wright contributes two lovely, pastoral tracks, "Remember a Day" and "See Saw," that echo Barrett's familiar childlike whimsy, while bassist Roger Waters's contributions, along with the band-composed 12-minute title track, map out the pulsating throb and lengthy instrumental sections that would soon become Floyd's sonic trademark. Another key track is the satiric "Corporal Clegg," Waters' first exploration of antiwar themes. | |||||||||||||||
Reviews  saucerful of secretsReview created: 05/04/08 by:  Like all pink floyd albulms I think it was excellent to listen to. This is an albulm which is unfamiliar to those who just buy a one off of Pink FLoyd. It can be very miunderstanding and hard to accept the flavour of music as progressive rock. I could listen to it all day!!!!!!!! Review ID: 10000000006503791 Was this review helpful? Report this review  A Saucerful Of Secretsthis album is actually ok. its had a few bad reviews and i an see why. the album opens with a typical roger waters song, its ok. then we get a great rick wright soong, which is fantastic. then they outstanding set the controls for the heart of the sun. cant believe how quiet it is, but brill at full volume. and ofcourse, what album with roger waters wouldnt have a political track. and his first really called corporal clegg. its ok too, not as good as the first track. let there be more light. then we flip the album to side 2. and we open with the 12 minute instrumental title track, a saucerful of secrets. it really lets me down. the last like 4 minutes are fab, i'd recommend it, but the first 8 arent really very good. however we get a cracker from wright again, he really was at his peak with this album. and of course the only track by the legendary late syd barrett. jugband blues is quite brilliant when you really listen to it. its a good goodbye to him, but we really never wanted to say that. overall the album is good. its floyd so cant go too wrong, however if your into dark side and wish you were here floyd then this probably isnt the album for you. if you like piper at the gates of dawn floyd, this album is ok. piper of course mostly by barrett, and we get a single track from him. so in conclusion get it if your curious about psychodleic rock, get it if you like floyd, dont get it if you like like gilmour led floyd! cheers for reading.
