{"product_id":"pink-floyd-meddle-music-cd","title":"Pink Floyd - Meddle (Music CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eMEDDLE was the first album to hint at the musical identity that would define\r\nPink Floyd in the mid to late '70s. Whereas prior releases like UMMAGUMMA and\r\nATOM HEART MOTHER announced the presence of new singer\/guitarist\/songwriter\r\nDavid Gilmour, MEDDLE represents the band's Gilmour-influenced evolution toward\r\na sleek, epic, spacey sound. In \"Echoes\", an ambitious 23-minute\r\nsoundscape, the pinging of a synthesizer greets the listener before Gilmour's\r\nwarm, open guitar and gentle crooning gives way to a repetitious, workmanlike\r\nrhythm.From here, the music fades into an abyss of whale calls and eerie sonic\r\nreverberations.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nElsewhere, Floyd dabbles with straightforward cocktail-hour jazz (\"San\r\nTropez\") and a twisted slow blues (\"Seamus\"). But it is \"One\r\nOf These Days\", MEDDLE's opening track and lone radio staple, that truly\r\npreviews things to come. Roger Waters's bass, played through a Binson echo unit,\r\nestablishes the song's manically hypnotic groove, as Richard Wright's\r\nsynthesizer bursts in and out, Nick Mason's off-kilter drum fills get tossed\r\naround, and Gilmour's guitar dive-bombs through it all. These varied sound\r\neffects, packaged in a song that clocked in at less than six minutes, were a\r\nprecedent for the masterpiece that was two years away: DARK SIDE OF THE MOON.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTRACK LIST\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e1.
