What do you think of echoes, the spooky pink floyd track from the meddle album?
A veritable classic – one of the best Pibnk Floyd tracks of all! Here is an extract from a review for the ‘meddle’ album via a website i’m currently working on. Ever since the likes of Emerson, Lake, Palmer and Rick Wakeman decided to make a career out of 30-minute jamming sessions, modern music fans have steered clear of tracks that last anything over, say, 8 minutes – especially the sort of long tracks like this one that are near-instrumentals and have some weird crow and seagull sound-effects going on in the middle (I kid you not). But as all good Floyd fans know, rules were meant for breaking and Echoes transcends all of its trappings to become one of the Floyd’s most original, powerful and impressive pieces of work in their entire history. This 23 minute medley of sonic pings, atmospheric sound effects and gradually building killer rock riffs might not sound like much on paper but every single section is perfectly cast, showing the Floyd’s ‘telepathy jamming’ off like never before
