Album Notes Pink Floyd: Dave Gilmour (vocals, guitar); Rick Wright (vocals, keyboards); Roger Waters (vocals, bass); Nick Mason (percussion).Engineers include: Peter Brown, John Leckie, Rob Black.Recorded at Air, EMI, Abbey Road, and Morgan Studios, London, England in 1971.All tracks have been digitally remastered.MEDDLE was the first album to truly represent what Pink Floyd evolved into after David Gilmour's arrival. The albums that immediately followed PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN either retained traces of Gilmour's predecessor, Syd Barrett (SAUCERFUL OF SECRETS), were soundtracks (MORE), paired live tracks with solo experiments (UMMAGUMMA), or were collaborations with outside parties (ATOM HEART MOTHER). Whereas any of them might have had traditional song structures dropped in at random, MEDDLE represents Pink Floyd attempting to approach a sequence of them."Echoes," an ambitious 23-minute soundscape, harkened back to Floyd's earlier exuberances. Its length enabled former architecture students Roger Waters and Nick Mason to patch together Gilmour and Richard Wright's fragmented musical ideas into a piece soaked in aquatic and lunar imagery. The pinging of a module greets the listener before Gilmour's warm, open guitar and gentle crooning gives way to a middle section that devolves into a repetitious, workmanlike rhythm. From here, the music fades into an abyss of whale calls and eerie sonic reverberations that slowly return to the opening section; it closes with the sound of howling wind. Spooky! Elsewhere, Floyd dabble with straightforward cocktail-hour jazz ("San Tropez") and a twisted slow blues ("Seamus").But it was "One Of These Days," MEDDLE's opening track and lone radio staple, that hinted at the direction the band was headed. Waters' bass, played through a Binson echo unit, establishes the song's manically hypnotic groove, as Wright's synthesizer bursts in and out, Mason's off-kilter drum fills get tossed about, and Gilmour's guitar dive-bombs through it all. These varied sound effects, packaged in a song that clocked in at less than six minutes, were a precedent for the masterpiece that was two years away: DARK SIDE OF THE MOON.

Reviews  Pink Floyd-Meddle CD 1994 I decided to buy this CD as my old LP record was just about worn out. I tend to shy clear of a lot of remastered CDs as several seem to lose a lot of the original recorded balances. This recording, however, sounds as good as the vinyl copies ever did. Nothing has been lost in the transcription. Worth every penny. Review ID: 10000000006610178 Was this review helpful?

I am an avid, some would say obsesive, Pink Floyd collector.I like to get stuff from all over the world, and even though i have this album and c d. Getting it on a label from overseas means a lot to me. I think i made a great purchase, It came in AA condition and is a brilliant addition to my collection. The main reason for my buying it is that i had never heard of the label that is on. Review ID: 10000000003034733 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
