Why does absolutely everyone overlook Obscured By Clouds? They act like Meddle lead to Darkside, and ignore the actual transitional album.

The fact is that obscured was made in two weeks with no effort. They are si great that they can easily make music that sounds incredible, but it is no transitional album, it was just a side project

Obscured by clouds is most definitely obscured by the clouds of meddle. It’s a great album that’s not noted enough.

Cool documentary about Atom Heart Mother.

Meddle... best Pink Floyd album ever!

The first album l ever bought. Someone at school lent me a battered old blue prerecorded cassette over the weekend. I played it solidly for the 2 days. It was beyond music - and definitely streets ahead of the pop music that was on the radio at the time. It certainly changed the way l approached music. Meddle and Dark Side are my 2 favourite Floyd albums - they involve all 4 members of the band and evoke happier times. Certainly more positive than the material that was written towards the end of that decade.

A documentary about the album Meddle and they spend half of it talking about Atom Heart Mother, although very interesting, and don’t discuss at all half the songs on Meddle. And, the songs they did talk about they really didn’t talk very much in depth about. Echoes itself warrants a documentary all by itself. This should have been twice as long in order to really delve into the album. I loved getting to know Ron Geesin though. Fascinating wild man.

I'd love to see a documentary on Live At Pompeii. There must be some unseen footage out there of them playing, instead of footage of the band aimlessly wandering around fields of steam plumes and boiling mud bubbles.

Meddle's my personal fave PF album. Bit confused why they spend half this 'Meddle' documentary talking about Atom Heart Mother though.

My favorite Pink Floyd album

"got a little black book, with me POEMS in!!!"

My parents bought me Umma Gumma one year, Ill never forget it, They thought id lost my mind, when I played it .. oh know the best was yet to come. Four albums later they agreed.! Crazy album for sure. SEVERAL SPECIES OF SMALL FURRY ANIMALS GROOVING ...... GOOD STUFF

LOVE this album! I was weaned on Animals, Wish You Were Here, DSOTM, and The Wall when I first got into them, so I started looking at things that I didn't own, and this was my first foray into the "Darker side" and totally fell in love with this album! When I saw them in Philly in 1987 and they started with Echoes, I was BLOWN AWAY!!

What about Pillow Of Winds? Why is not mentioned one of the best PF songs?

It's disappointing that this documentary doesn't talk about a pillow of winds or San Tropez. San Tropez is one of Roger's finest songs.

Just for the record..Gilmour first used the "Seagull" effect on "The Embryo", NOT "Echoes". It's a wah wah pedal with the inputs/outputs reversed and coupled with a delay.

Atom Heart Mother was Floyds first number one Album in the UK. Enough said.

Not really, sales figures aren't exactly set in stone. And frankly you can have a really mediocre album come out at a time when all the other music is in the doldrums. Thats not to diminish it, because, well, its Floyd. There spacey weird music was to give rise to Tubular Bells, which is Atom Heart Mother for a full two sides and basically made Richard Branson, unfortunately, a millionaire. Floyd was WAY ahead just as Animals and even Have a Cigar were basically proto punk.

I saw them at Princeton in late '71, just before Meddle was released. Their performance of Echoes soared, Gilmour was so locked in. That was the first time I heard the song. When the album came out, I was actually disappointed in the recorded version. They didn't quite have it yet. Nevertheless, this is my favorite PF album, along with More and Obscured By Clouds. When DSOTM came out I was very sad, as though something beautiful had died. But at least Roger got his Lear jet.

Echoes was the first PF song I heard. And life changed. I still think it is the greatest piece of rock music ever created, a peerless adventure.

Great doc,fantastic

Atom heart mother is the album I’m most likely to listen to all the way through. Favorite? Haven’t decided yet (after 50+ years).

Echoes and the similar sounding The Endless River are my favs by far yet, there are many Pink Floyds.

A masterpiece ❤

You know, they started talking about "Fearless," and one of the commentators mentioned it was "kind of/maybe/probably" about Syd, then when they got further along with the discussion, no one seemed to connect "You'll Never Walk Alone" with Syd!? It's plain as the nose on their faces! Even though he was no longer part of the "band," they still took care of him in their OWN WAY. Listen to the song. If it's about Syd, it's really easy to figure out what the lyrics and the crowd singing means.

Im still waiting for The Committee soundtrack. Fat Old Sun sounds like Ray Davies! Im 67- obviously was aware of Dark Side of the Moon. I went backwards to The Syd Barret era- man! Like nothing Ive ever Heard before. Their albums are just as great as their music. Lol- i have Atom Heart Mother on 8track. That cow should have a nice pasture abd fame!!!! 39:37

You're right, it does sound like Ray.

I made a cassette of various Floyd songs for my then GFs brothers funeral, (Actually ,.calling hours) (Late 90s .... Early 2000s...... RiP, Scott Berry) 99.999% of my friends were / are ALL Pink Floyd Aficionados... Even the so-called more "casual" fans that were in my inner circle were practically Floyd historians - Ha!

Great job putting all that together!

Meddle (echoes)brano da Ve visto e sentito in aprile del 1971 a Rotterdam prima e pochi mesi dopo in concerto ad Amsterdam,questo mi ha preso l'anima,ne sono innamorato.avevo 22 anni .x me in brano più magico dei Pink floyd.pero tutti i brani sono magia dei Pink da un 75enne di Padova.❤❤❤

Pink Floyd showed that one doesn't have to be a convulsive shredder to make a good solo. I always prefered a smooth ride to a bumpy road. :) Pink Floyd "spacy times" along with Tangerine Dream. They are like cream and sugar. Both are needed for a good cuppa.

I thought it was funny hearing Pink Hair Lady say she liked Fearless until the crowd started singing YNWA. As a Liverpool fan that is the part I am always waiting for. Also remember the Queen concert at Wembley 86, it wouldn’t be a show without the crowd participation.

Nice doc but actually very little on Meddle.

Atom Heart Mother has only got better for me over time. I find myself listening to it more often than Meddle. I am beginning to think that objectivity is over rated.

I agree with you. Although I don't love the AHM suite as much as Echoes, I love the other side of the AHM album way more than the other side of Meddle.

AHM was just a practice for what Meddle, specifically Echoes became, Atom Heart was kinda sloppily put together before it’s time, (it was great, but not fully musically achieved before it’s release)! they achieved perfection with Echoes!!!

​@@manonthemooggotta be kidding me. 😅😅

the only album better than MEDDLE (1971) was OBSCURED BY CLOUDS (1972). both represent the Floyd at their apex, before achieving critical success with DARK SIDE OF THE MOON, WISH YOU WERE HERE and ANIMALS (1973-77).

Interestingly, when Talking Heads were recording "Once in a Lifetime" Brian Eno thought the first beat was in a different place than Tina Weymouth. I believe Eno cut the first beat of bass out of the mix. So Tina went back into the studio and reworded the bass. Similarly, fitting Rodger's bass and Nick's drums rhythm on Atom Heart Mother with the orchestra's was a nightmare.

Putting a potential theory out there; The reason why Waters started taking over in terms of ideas and concepts was because he felt inferior to Gilmour music wise, and so he figured this would be his path to shining. And then the massive ego set in... and the rest is history

While Floyd has many fine era's, Meddle is my favorite

I actually LOVE all the post Syd , pre Meddle lps, (Even the BAND dislikes AHM) They ALL have a Floyd "magic" to them.... But , that's just "me" . . . Imma Pink Floyd nut.

Morgan Studio was in Willesden not West Hampsted.

Meddle is the best floyd album

Ear under water. For years I thought it was a photo of an embryo. I discovered the truth of the photo around 76 ish as I picked up the album from off the floor that was opened facing down and saw it from a distance the clarity.

Lol that's my car at 4:56

No one would have ever heard Rogers lyrics without David, Rick and Nick. Roger needed David David never needed Roger

Seriously don’t know what some of these are talking about,,atom heart mother along with meddle are my floyd favourite albums

Years ago,i heard a rare and early Floyd song,post Syd and before Meddle. It sounded very rennisance,with an upbeat pipe organ,and a trippy middle 8 guitar solo. It was around 6 or 7 minutes long and sung by Rick or Roger. The lyricsr tell me that it's more like Rick because he sings of the reminiscing of a young love and how he' still pictures himself dancing with her. Does anyone know the title of this song?

I thought this was all about Meddle, not AHM

It’s totally subjective.. I agree , and disagree, it only makes sense to me that the more they played together (despite their very early personal , and totally different artistic views on what to play, which started to eat up Roger’s more than others) , naturally the better they became. So I’m opinion, I tend to see Dark side as them maturing, and killing it. I do see your point where everyone says that up until Dark side , it was all experimental, and interesting, but Dark side showed their potential and is very melodic, and wrapped up in a bow.

You'll never walk alone gives Fearless this great uniqueness and character. The pink haired old lady probably isn't much into sports. Music journalists are annoying.

I turned off this film after one minute because I can't stand this eternally ongoing talk anymore about how everything was just a step on the way to the glorious Dark Side etc. The albums from Saucerful to Meddle are very good, very interesting pieces of music in and of themselves. One might even say they are much more daring and much less boring than Dark Side.

These guys are basically saying what gilmour waters and rest are thinking, what a load of bollocks

What is the point of this.

They totally recycled Syd and PATGOD is their first great album. Pink hair is 100% wrong

A little extreme. They are a rock band and supposed to be about the music. This big production and performing in ancient ruins or whatever seems so cheesy and pretentious.. like Spinal Tap but in real life. Not to say they are not a great band or not ground breaking because they are, it just seems like trying too hard. Even the Beatles finally said "fuck all this rubbish let's just play on the roof until the police come".

You must be very, very young and making a huge mistake taking Live at Pompeii out of context by watching this half assed documentary that is usurping much of its content from other sources. Probably 50+ years out of context. You really need to watch the actual film and then somehow try to imagine yourself being alive and young in 1972. There’s absolutely nothing “cheesy” about Live at Pompeii. Also, Live at Pompeii was not “big production” when you have Gilmour sitting on the ground, bare foot, all dusty and dirty with his Strat on his lap, twiddling knobs on his effects. Not to mention the historical aspect of what happened at Pompeii. Basically if you haven’t watched the actual film (which it’s clear you have not at the time of your comment) you need to. Unless you’re not a fan of PF because that’s a prerequisite.
