Meddle Reviews:
A "Pillow Of Winds" and numerous "Echoes" make this a must own on CD. 4.5 stars!
2007-08-24 - As the author of the Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent" and a former radio disc-jockey, I am often asked to write and or discuss various music supplies and recordings from the 60's and 70's.

November 11, 1971 saw Pink Floyd's "Meddle" commandeer us for a forty-six minute journey through uncharted space destinations.

The beauty of the album is age doesn't tarnish it only escalates an already stellar reputation. When the LP first hit the record store shelves many a consumer concentrated on side 2 ("Echoes") and all twenty-three minutes of the musical enlightenment. Eventually side 1 would get its turn to solidify its rightful place on the rock pedestal.

"One Of These Days" strikes without warning. Roger Waters bass is a blowtorch as the momentum builds each second. A truly legendary opener for a rock record. "A Pillow Of Winds" may be the most forgotten song on the recording but that only shows you what the competition is. The soft approach with the haunting instrumentation is breathtaking. "Fearless" deserves such accolades the rest of the album could be blank and it would still deserve to be proudly displayed in any collection. The perfect synergy of Gilmour's guitar and the vocal inflection show the craftsmanship of a tremendous composition. "San Tropez" could take a spot on a Kinks release from the mid to late sixties. It certainly is a departure from the theme thus far but sometimes opposites attract and that analogy is proper here. "Seamus" throws the kitchen sink at us and if you ducked in time you can appreciate the results. Gilmour plays a bit of the blues, the animals are out of the barn, and the piano holds it together very well. Did anyone have advanced warning of what would happen next? "Echoes" gives the feeling you are on some interplanetary voyage. The term "Space Rock" has been used as frequently as the population grows but maybe it is the best choice. The entire journey that takes up almost half the record is never dull and you are not concentrating on the clock but the finale as the record raises the bar to a crescendo. If memory serves me well the saga we call "Meddle" needed four engineers to help make everything worthy for takeoff.


Enjoy the music and be well,

2003-01-17 - the review is one of pink floyds peak work the equisite drumming and persevering guitar of David Gilmor makes the first track equisite . The album stays amazing up until the last second of the last song when the album stops .The variation of music in this album really carries the mood of pink floyd changing and alternative the only thing better than this is led zepplin
