5 stars 1. Speak to Me shh it starts, this heartbeat, the cash register, the laughs, the helicopter or something else musical... an ACM? , well we take a breath and 2. Breathe follows, the not easy thing to have linked titles... when everything was still to be created; the spleen music half spatial, half radiant, the woody drum pads, the air of which you do not know yet if you will like it or not; of the organ to reassure the proguent who did not know that he listened to it, almost perfect world and year too. 3. On the Run occurs, one if not the first cinematic sequence before the hour, these sounds off, the keyboard metronome, it runs, right, left, remember this was one of the reference albums to test his channel Hi-Fi, the good times I tell you; a little later this detuned and destructive sound will be taken up by QUEEN among others on a title of 'News of'; well it's going up you shouldn't miss it, finally arriving late, at the shelters! hey you yes you stop running and come we are here, I hear... 4. Time and the 1st hit of my adolescence, yes on a vulgar radio set, mono surely I heard these ringtones, this dreamlike rise with these percussions from another world; it unfolded, it didn't end; we stopped living and we listened without doing anything... else, especially not surfing the web; a proto-sound that will become embedded in our musical limbo, choirs and solo included... yes that's where the guitar was the most staged; 4 minutes and musical excellence arrives, in short the rock air a tad scratched by the voice, where the choirs of divines and divas rub the angles to bring 5. The Great Gig in the Sky difficult title for me, no prog, too many bewitching voices in which you get lost, you shiver, you swoon, you capsize; quickly I will look for the clip to see and review Lesley, Liza and Doris to make me melt with pleasure; end of the first act. 6. Money and its clip, its cash drawer, its air, we understand there a little acid criticism of our society just 50 years ago, a straw; by the way, if you haven't listened to it yet, it's because you're not a real prog; the worldwide hit with Dick tearing himself away on his sax before David does the same on his neck; huge or overrated title, if we had continued to praise it, we would still listen to rock on the media rather than what is currently playing, that's said. 7. Us and Them comes slowly but surely to break this electric atmosphere with a long organ entry, one of those which melts (yes it's hot today) even if there is no sun; the echoing vocal or almost comforts you in the spirit that time undergoes a slowing down until the two apocalyptic rises, the sax being in charge of remodeling the sound to avoid remaining in apoplexy; 8. Any Color You Like arrives for the shimmering progressive cinematic sequence, one of those ... to adjust your bar, your helmet, finally what yes PINK FLOYD is a reference, a rule; archaic stereo does its job, between symphonism, atmosphere...and classicism; yes PINK FLOYD has become a group that has punctuated and still punctuates our lives; the last chord introduced 9. Brain Damage as the first final with the starting beat; a little nursery rhyme that rises with these pad beats also now inscribed in the firmament of sound, a roll that will make me love MARILLION for that; good a little last divine choir sprinkled, a vibrating organ blow and 10. Eclipse arrives for the real finale, taking Brain back for a few moments before going out in yet another jolt.
