Hi, Considering how many versions of EMBRYO were on the bootlegs, I would imagine that there was a some thought along the way to include it, though I have a feeling that it didn't fit the ideas, or concepts, that they loosely designed for their albums, which left EMBRYO behind. BTW, shame on you ... Mme Nobs (Knobs??) was very far out! And better looking than Roger!  Edited by moshkito - 3 hours 25 minutes ago at 09:35 |

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I agree about 'San Tropez' - the light cocktail hour jazzy feel nicely fits in with the overall romantic feel of the album (though not as a stand alone track). Embryo would have been an interesting inclusion, tho the band claimed it was never properly finished (hence the hasty withdrawal of the Harvest label double sampler 'Picnic'). The other nice inclusion, again with a romantic feel, could have been 'Biding My Time' had it not been shoved out on 'Relics' earlier in the year. Yes, 'Seamus' is the definitive throwaway track. Meddle is my favourite album of all time by the way, as it was my entry point into the Floyd (and the start of a lifelong obsession with all things Floydian). Not only that, on a wider scale, 'Meddle', and the live album of Ummagumma proved to be my gateway into prog generally... all back in 1971/2! |

Anything by German symphonic prog band "The Pink Mice"....brilliant musicians, but, despite that, have garnered some low ratings, here...

I agree that it's nothing wrong with a breather - like the short and sweet For Absent Friends. But I think More Fool Me is a weak song. |

Embryo is a great track, but they must have been thinking that it was too close to Saucerful of Secrets while they were trying to find a different way. But in their shoes I would have released it. |

I've never understood why some people dislike this song, is it the silly lyrics?! I've always liked it.  Edited by Cristi - 11 hours 19 minutes ago at 01:41 |

From the 'big six':
Providence Abaddons Bolero Don't Kill The Whale All In A Mouse's Night I can't think of any classic era Tull or Floyd that is hated on try as I might to think of something, maybe that part of A Passion Play that annoys people but it's only a part of a track. I guess with Floyd I could throw in The Trial but I don't love it personally. |

More Fool Me (there's nothing wrong with a "breather") and Battle of Epping Forest. But I'm a theater kid, so this is not surprising. I also love Robbery, Assault and Battery. Sue me.

Almost everything written by Neal Morse is overhated lately.

To me Moonchild is wonderful as part of the full album experience. But it's the track on the album I would be the least likely to feel like playing on its own. I think of the four other compositions as timeless classics, so I guess I don't place it up there with the others in that regard. But that's not what it's made for.
So Meddle is my favorite Pink Floyd album. I'm not gonna fight for Seamus. I do find it enjoyable and fun enough (but I wouldn't mind if they had included the studio version of Embryo instead). -San Tropez however is just so effortlessly beautiful to me. I love it as much as anything. I feel like the average progger dismiss it by default. When it's not judged on its own terms you miss out on what it actually aims for - and succeed at. I know I'm exactly like that myself at times though. Maybe More Fool Me is an excellent track for what it is too, I wouldn't know, and I never want to hear it again. So while I think it's unfair each time I'm the one with the unpopular opinion, I fully understand why and how this happens. |

I used to play IOU, Metal Fatigue, and U.K. so much that I wore out my tapes.
Allan Holdsworth was an incredible artist. I also have his book on Melody Chords. Intricate chords and such an interesting legato style … almost like a saxophone in terms of fluidity. These days I’m listening more to band-centric energetic music that is less focused on virtuosic soloing as the spotlight. I’m not taking anything away from Holdsworth by saying that. His songwriting is elegant, spot-on, and unique but it’s not my current focus at the moment. |

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I observed before. It can be much like that with music for me; immersed in experiencing the moment.
