for a sec, i thought I saw them shaking hands.

god, i wish we had avatars.

god, i wish foobar supported animated gifs.

hey Pink Floyd people I am listening to the remasters of Saucerful, Obscured By Clouds, and Meddle. They RULE. Especially Meddle. In an era where the word "CD remaster" has come to mean "red flag", these are a beacon of hope.

was on the verge of impulse buying a handful of these over the weekend at best buy, but didn't. regrets!

damn dudes, did you know that the recently surfaced stockholm barret era show recording has leaked!? i guess it is a recording of the recording being broadcast a few months back, but it is supposed to sound pretty good. acquiring now!

Acquire and report back!

If anyone is looking for lossless Floyd boots head over to just-add-cones.blogspot.com before they disappear.

ok, bad news is that the vocals are pretty close to non existent. the good news is that this RULES. by far the clearest recording of barrett and floyd, way better than the rotterdam or copenhagen sets. like, pretty much crystal clear capture of the instruments. awesome guitar work from syd. will be posting mp3s on my blog soon. think there's a lossless torrent on dime now...

was it always an ear? i never noticed before today

yep!

I want to curl up inside Meddle. It RULES.

The album's title Meddle is a play on words; a medal, and to interfere.[15] Storm Thorgerson originally suggested a close-up shot of a baboon's anus for the album cover photograph. He was over-ruled by the band, who informed him via an inter-continental telephone call while on tour in Japan that they would rather have "an ear underwater".[18] The cover image was photographed by Bob Dowling. The image represents an ear, underwater, collecting waves of sound (represented by ripples in the water).[15] Thorgerson has expressed dissatisfaction with the cover, claiming it to be his least favourite Pink Floyd album sleeve: "I think Meddle is a much better album than its cover".[19] Aubrey Powell (Thorgerson's colleague) shares his sentiments—"Meddle was a mess. I hated that cover. I don't think we did them justice with that at all; it's half-hearted."[20] The gatefold contains a group photograph of the band (Floyd's last until 1987's A Momentary Lapse of Reason).

I have to say I agree. The only reason I tolerate the cover and have grown to even like it is because Meddle is by far my favorite Pink Floyd album. I wonder if it would have reached a more canonical status amongst second rate fans if it had a cover as iconic as 'dark side', 'animals' 'wish you were here' and even 'division bell' or 'atom heart mother'.

I mean honestly, this poster should have Piper and Meddle instead of atom heart mother and relics in there... if only their covers didn't suck so much in comparison.

The "Wish you were here" model looks like our Amber.

It isn't, obviously..

I have to say I agree. The only reason I tolerate the cover and have grown to even like it is because Meddle is by far my favorite Pink Floyd album.

At least the US vinyl version of Meddle had a different color scheme, so it looked a little less obvious like an ear.

meddle's cover RULES are you kidding me

^^^

"Meddle cover sux" does not compute. It's one of my favorites!!!

^^^^
Can't believe the hate. (I have yet to listen, but I dl'ed that show and will listen soon, Thanks tyler!)

^^^^^
It's certainly better than the Obscured by Clouds cover.

WTF

Hey, it's Thorgerson himself who says it sucks. I'm simply agreeing with him.

And I mean it doesn't make me want to tear off my eyeballs, the problem is that when you compare it to other PF covers it doesn't rule as much. If isolated from the rest of their catalogue I'd even say I like it.

I like their other covers too, but Meddle never paled in comparison for me. idk. I just love the ear. And I've always loved the Obscured by Clouds cover. Makes me feel like my eyes are blurry.

This was my desktop picture for awhile

jammed out to Momentary Lapse last week, hit that Avalon groove, second side pretty underrated I think.

This was a Facebook ad on my page this morning:

Sad that they didn't use a wine bottle instead a prism :(

instead *of* a prism

The Grateful Dead wine in that series is actually really good. Pink Floyd, however, has the distinction of being the only Wines That Rock band without a dead-from-alcoholism member in its past.
