Find me a better album than this, and I might have to give you the world

Meddle is often considered a transitory album, where PF first perfected their sound (Atom Heart Mother being where they found their sound).

Spacey, lush.....ooh, the memories!

What makes music so special is how indelibly it's connected to certain chapters of your life. Hearing "Echoes" again.... it's a freakin' time machine!...blaring out from a car 8-track, 1:00 in the morning as we tripped on blotter through a pioneer graveyard near Black Diamond, WA. Wispy, ghost-like things rose from the graves. Great album. Good times, man.

In Pink Floyd's Top Three

This is a spectacular album, behind Wish You Were Here and Dark Side of the Moon, but insignificantly so. Dark Side has focus and polish, Wish You Were Here has passion, but Meddle is spacey! After a rousing opener with great electric guitar and organ, a windswept soundscape leads us into an lovely ballad, A Pillow of Winds, with acoustic and pedal steel guitar. "Fearless" is a catchy tune, an instant Rock classic sung with innocent-sounding voices, but with sharply critical lyrics. San Tropez is a bluesy, humourous throw-away, but tuneful and well excecuted. We are then transported to an opus magnum, the spectacular side-long (in album days) Meddle. Thank your lucky stars for CD, since the vinyl version always ended up with clicks and pops impossible to avoid in a quiet, atmospheric work. The melodic line introduced is bluesy and solemn. The piece makes a transition to a driving rock rhythm, after which Pink Floyd take us into an abstract, improvised space. This ominous, rather desperate and desolate landscape gives way, gradually, to a very welcome reprise, played by guitar in a manner reminiscent of reverberant bagpipes, of the initial musical theme, bringing this spectacular piece to a thirlling conclusion.
