My three stars rating come here only for excellent "Echoes", anthological psychedelic musical piece. Album starts with "One of these Days" instrumental track that is not much special. Good bass is there, and some guitars influenced by Barret. Anyway, it is good track, and nice start. "Pillow of Winds" is beautiful, soft, warm, easy song, really inspired me. There are nice vocals, and good combination of electric-acoustic guitars, with some keyboards effects that give some sad emotion. Not much space oriented, but beautiful. But next song, "Fearless" is my least favorite Pink Floyd's song. I really do not enjoy with this one, irritating to me. Guitar is boring there, and if it was made in nineties, I would have called it grunge song. "San Tropez" is short and not much interesting song, influenced by The Kinks, probably. A simple drum give rhythm and piano is Ok. In "Seamus", best notes are given by dogs! I got an idea of a band that uses many animal voices, and I think it would be interesting stuff. I would give a job for lots of animals in my band. So, this track was inspiring to me. Now I came to "Echoes", and I do need to write much about this inspiring piece, the best way of getting into world of this track is to listen to it in the dark and with headphones. All in all, this is solid album, but not masterpiece, in my opinion. My impressions are positive, and I need to conclude that this is album that needs to live through person; this is not for couple of days.
