| Mud Men, I guess, but the first half of Absolutely Curtains is amazing, up until the Native chanting, it kinda spoils the ethereal mood set up by the keyboards. |

| ^ Just about the same with me, both for Mudmen and Absolutely Curtains. The other day that I was listening to this ones I thought that for the album they should have worked the songs so that "Obscured by Clouds", "When you're in" and "Absolutely Curtains" were actually one song. |

Cool album. Definitely a better album than dark side which is just a bit over dramatic and commercial ------------- All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock. |

| Free Four and Childhood's end are a tie for me, though I like the rest of the album as well. |

Gotta go with the title track... they have a claim for the invention of post rock with this one. |

Well said. One of those tracks that proves that Rick Wright's contributions to Pink Floyd's catalog can be quintessential

| Just spinning my LP right now - it’s never been a favourite of mine, one of my least listened to Floyd. I’m digging it a lot, though. |

I think I'm one of the few with a particular feeling for "Stay", but I love the whole album and also Burning Bridges deserved a vote. Free Four is where Waters' pessimism started to emerge, also. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

| Any folks notice Roger plays some neat bass on the album ? - there’s some great runs toward the end of Free Four. And I dig that count in - 1, 2, Free 4 ! |

I'd rate Obscured second behind Animals as Floyds best ------------- All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock. |

| Absolutely Curtains is in my opinion the best Floyd's ending ever. |

1. Burning Bridges (Very similar to Mudmen but with beautiful vocals and a gentler guitar). 2. Stay, Mudmen. |
