Those albums, brilliant as they are in their way, are still the sound of the Floyd finding their way, trying to escape from the shadow of their brilliant erratic insufferable genius ex-front-man Syd Barrett.They had come a long way from the hallucinogenic whimsy of Piper At The Gates Of Dawn and its less satisfactory follow-up A Saucerful Of Secrets. In Meddle you can almost hear The Dark Side Of The Moon and Wish You Were Here and even The Wall.You couldnвЂ™t necessarily say the same about Atom Heart Mother or Ummagumma. ItвЂ™s a perfect opening, as iconic in its way as Elvis Presley belting out вЂ Well since my baby left me.вЂ™ at the start of Heartbreak Hotel, or death knocking at the door at the start of BeethovenвЂ™s Fifth.Echoes is the centrepiece of Meddle, an album that is now widely regarded as the one where Pink Floyd got everything just right. The вЂ™pingвЂ™ on the opening and close of Echoes was, as we all know, produced by Richard Wright playing a single note on a concert grand piano and feeding the signal through a Leslie rotating speaker. 01 - One of These Days.mp3 download.

After Meddle, nobody called them вЂ™theвЂ™ Pink Floyd. Meddle, although it was an album that revelled in its use of the recording studio, was the first album to capture some of the potency and excitement of the Floyd live experience. They were still adventurous and experimental, but they were also more structured and stable.By the end of the 60s they had developed into a formidable live touring band.

One Of These Days is Pink Floyd 2.0.While in their early incarnation they were a pop band as well as a psychedelic free-form freakout band, Arnold Layne and See Emily Play both being hit singles, the subsequent years saw them completely lose interest in the singles chart. But they werenвЂ™t great songs. The soundtrack music that they had recorded was there to serve a function: it was atmospheric. ThereвЂ™s the fizzing energetic opener One Of These Days which is the blueprint for half of the songs on вЂ¦Dark Side Of The Moon.

We werenвЂ™t under any pressure from EMI to release anything. According to David Gilmour in a recent interview, itвЂ™s one of the songs where their work was at its most collaborative.вЂњWeвЂ™d done the individual solo tracks and decided that we worked better together,вЂќ says Nick Mason when Prog meets him in his North London offices, a haven of Floydian ephemera and reminders that, aside from the occasional musical flirtation these days, he is today more preoccupied with his passion for automobiles.вЂњThere wasnвЂ™t any great plan when we did Meddle other than it would be a group effort. But One Of These Days, a great song (despite not having words other than a spoken phrase) proved that they were still able to turn out something approachable when they felt like it.One Of These Days is still one of the best Floyd songs ever recorded.

Although Echoes is the centrepiece of Meddle, there are other songs like One Of These Days and Fearless that are just as important.вЂњThey were just back from the US. Things were just coming out of psychedelic music and the influence was still there, not completely gone.вЂќItвЂ™s an album that they started without any overarching ideas as to what it was going to be. ItвЂ™s so warm and organic and so golden and thereвЂ™s something about that. вЂњItвЂ™s got that 1971 sound. After Ummagumma and Atom Heart Mother, we thought I suppose that we should maybe make a group album, something that was maybe a reflection of where we were going live.вЂќвЂњItвЂ™s got that sound, hasnвЂ™t it?вЂќ says Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree, a long-time champion of Meddle as the great Floyd album.

They were starting to have success in the US and had just returned from a US tour when they started work on Meddle.Leckie remembers that the atmosphere in the studio was good: вЂњThey werenвЂ™t really different to any other band. They werenвЂ™t at the stage where they could afford a garage full of sports cars, but they were making a fairly good living from touring and recording. They worked hard, though, it wasnвЂ™t a party.вЂќFloyd were an established band. вЂњColin Miles, who was the only person at EMI who could вЂ™relate to Pink FloydвЂ™, used to turn up occasionally with a couple of bottles of wine. Peter Bown, who had worked with them on Atom Heart Mother, and John Leckie recorded and engineered the bulk of the recording work at LondonвЂ™s Abbey Road studio.вЂњThey were left alone,вЂќ recalls John Leckie. вЂњI think only The Beatles had a similar deal at the time.вЂќPink Floyd were one of the first bands to be allowed to produce their own albums.

It was still listed under its working title Return of the Son Of Nothing.The band were now pushing the possibilities of the studio.Mason remembers: вЂњAbbey Road had just invested in an eight-track, but were ready to go 16-track. They continued to gig, setting up the gear in the studio then going off at night to play headline shows, albeit at colleges and polytechnics.вЂњWe were trying out a lot of stuff live at that time,вЂќ says Mason.Echoes, at that time a series of unconnected parts labelled Nothing вЂ“ there was Nothing Part One through to Part 36 вЂ“ which eventually took shape when they debuted it live at a gig in Norwich in April. Roger and Dave were running the show but everybody was contributing.Starting in early 1971, the band recorded at Abbey Road, sometimes bringing in ideas that they had worked on at home. ItвЂ™s his voice through a ring modulator that you hear on One Of These Days saying вЂ™One of these days IвЂ™m going to cut you into little piecesвЂ™. Nick came up with a lot of the crazier ideas.

The Beatles did that a few years before. There was already a lot of change, though. EMI was very established, had the big canteen. A very different atmosphere to EMI.

вЂњWhatвЂ™s interesting is that years later I recorded some of the first Stone Roses tracks there, when it was called Battery.вЂќAlthough they had worked on long form pieces before Echoes was a bit of a departure. вЂњMixing took a hell of a lot longer.вЂќThey also recorded at a third studio, Morgan in Willesden.вЂњMorgan was one of the first British studios to go 24-track, though not at that time,вЂќ says John Leckie. There were almost too many options,вЂќ says Mason.

Pink Floyd Meddle Trial And Error

Interstellar Overdrive, particularly in the Syd era, was never the same twice.вЂњ Echoes, for me, is the quintessential, ultimate epic. The version you hear in the film Live At Pompeii or the BBC sessions isnвЂ™t markedly different to the version on Meddle. But it was a song with a final, almost definitive form. Its creation involved trial and error. Atom Heart Mother was conceived as a sort of quasi-classical piece.Echoes was different: it incorporated several ideas, different passages and moods, but it was a structured and planned song. These were essentially extended jams.

IвЂ™d worked with Roy and I think played a big part in my being hired for Meddle. He was always around and he was working on Stormcock. вЂњThey shared management with Roy and he was a big mate of the band. They hadnвЂ™t tried to cram too many ideas into it, so it still has a lot of room for building up and breaking down and improvisation, and it has that lovely song sequence that book-ends the piece,вЂќ says Steven Wilson.вЂњIвЂ™m sure that one of the reasons that they did Echoes was because of Roy Harper,вЂќ says John Leckie.
