Back in 1971, the exciting awaited release of PINK FLOYD found the band well into the "growth track."
The first cut, “One Of These Days (I’m Going To Cut You Into Little Pieces)” sticks to the usual Floyd formula (sound effect-slow organ build-lead guitar surge & climax-resolving sound effect), but each segment of the tune is so well done, and the whole thing coheres so perfectly that it comes across as a positive, high-energy opening. Next, we have a series of ozone ballads like “Pillow Of Winds” and “San Tropez.” Pleasant little acoustic numbers hovering over a bizarre back-drop of weird sounds. A clever spoof entitled “Fearless” leads up to a classic crowd rendition of Rodger’s & Hammerstein’s “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” the perennial victory song for the Wembley Cup Final crowd in England. And, to round off side one, a great pseudo-spoof blues tune with David Gilmour’s dog Seamus taking over the lead “howl” duties.
“Echoes,” a 23-minute Pink Floyd aural extravaganza that takes up all of side two, recaptures, within a new musical framework, some of the old themes and melody lines from earlier albums. All of this plus a funky organ-bass-drums segment and a stunning Gilmour solo adds up to a fine extended electronic outing. Meddle is killer Floyd from start to finish.
The "Fan Man" advises further:Your head'll appreciate "Meddle". One of PINK FLOYD's most exquisite works. "Meddle" is a six track melodic yet psychedelic record, that from the opening Nick MASON's distorted voice in "One of These Days" till the 2:13 minutes of "Seamus", drive all the way home to listen to the "Echoes", one of the most significant Pink Floyd songs and of the most enigmatic too; over 23 minutes of euphoria and synchrony, "Echoes" overdrives the whole meaning of this album. In 1971, "meddle" created a prelude to Pink Floyd's next masterful album and that's without a doubt, "Dark Side of the Moon". This album opened PinkFloyd's fans minds up and caught their attention to what was next of their career, and "Meddle" is that, the previous step to what is this master prog band best album, or at least one of them. To understand, to question, to magnify Pink Floyd's creation to an upper level, "Meddle" is the key that will open up the lock to meaningful progressive ways. If you must have it, have it then.
