"breathe" also always a favorite - really like that kind of gentle overdubbed vocal vibe with Floyd. see also "fearless" and "goodbye blue sky."

"on the run" really jumped up in my estimation this time. were they early Kraftwerk adopters, or what?

Floyd's use of a sequencer predates that of Kraftwerk by three or four years!

oh wow, i had that chronology way off... it just reminded me so much of Autobahn, especially the integration of these more 60s type psychedelic "special effects" with weird slowed down sounds panning darkly through the mix...

It's more Tangerine Dream than Kraftwerk but then there's a bit in "Autobahn" which does resembles this - and that sounds more like Tangerine Dream than Kraftwerk too.

“On The Run” was used as the background music on WLS-AM in Chicago in the mid ‘70s-early ‘80s when the DJ spoke to the winning caller. So they’d announce, “The 15th caller wins tickets to see the Eagles at the Chicago Amphitheater!” or whatever the fuck it was. Then, on the air, the DJ would talk to the winner, and under their conversation would be “On The Run.” It wasn’t until years later, when I finally heard DSOTM, that I found out it was a Pink Floyd song.
