MEDDLE

Meddle is the reason why i started to listen to Pink Floyd and progressive rock in general. If it were not for the epic proportions of Echoes, i would never have given more than a glance to bands such as Genesis, Yes and King Crimson. The album deserves 5 stars just for echoes, not including One of These Days, Fearless and psychedelically beautiful Pillow of Winds. The only fault with the album would be the song seamus, though a sustainable and interesting Blues number, i dont believe it fits aswell with the album as the other tracks. The musicanship of this album is extraordinary, more so the developments made by Gilmore in his development of his own distinict tone and virtuosity. I bougth meddle on vinyl and cd before Dark Side, therefore showing its importance ot my personal musical development. I suggest that everyone avaliable heckles the members of Pink Floyd for a Reunion concert, cause Live 8 was just not enough!
