Echoes is the most amazing song I ever heard. I have listened to 1000's of them. The whole albums is great, but Echoes, well mind blowing!

Don't meddle with Meddle

I am surprised to see the \"remaster\" here on eMusic, but worth a check out. A big part of me thinks serious remixes are unnecessary - focus on the original, but if the original can truely be improved... well, bring it on! IMHO, Meddle is highly underrated when compared to their later works. Underrated, that is, by those who don't really sit down and listen to the brilliance that Meddle is!

Fairly interesting....

If this record had not been followed by Dark Side, Shine on and others that followed, it would be largely forgotten. That being said, \"Echos\" is not bad at all. The rest is pretty well forgettable.

Ready Player One Radio

By Ernie Cline, eMusic Contributor

Ernie Cline's debut novel, Ready Player One, is one long love letter to the '80s, paying tribute to the movies, music, TV shows, video games and just about everything else that made the era so tough for us to leave behind. The book is also a wild dystopian adventure set in 2044 wherein underdog misfits battle evil forces in a massive virtual universe for fame, fortune and righteousness.

They Say All Music Guide

Atom Heart Mother, for all its glories, was an acquired taste, and Pink Floyd wisely decided to trim back its orchestral excesses for its follow-up, Meddle. Opening with a deliberately surging “One of These Days,” Meddle spends most of its time with sonic textures and elongated compositions, most notably on its epic closer, “Echoes.” If there aren’t pop songs in the classic sense (even on the level of the group’s contributions to Ummagumma), there is a uniform tone, ranging from the pastoral “A Pillow of Winds” to “Fearless,” with its insistent refrain hinting at latter-day Floyd. Pink Floyd were nothing if not masters of texture, and Meddle is one of their greatest excursions into little details, pointing the way to the measured brilliance of Dark Side of the Moon and the entire Roger Waters era. Here, David Gilmour exerts a slightly larger influence, at least based on lead vocals, but it’s not all sweetness and light — even if its lilting rhythms are welcome, “San Tropez” feels out of place with the rest of Meddle. Still, the album is one of the Floyd’s most consistent explorations of mood, especially from their time at Harvest, and it stands as the strongest record they released between Syd’s departure and Dark Side. – Stephen Thomas Erlewine
