“Meddle” can be seen as a transitional album, but I think of it as a climax; a final statement for PINK FLOYD “vers. 2.0” before changing the way they present ideas on an album. In the same way that “Red” completes KING CRIMSON’s second cycle, “Meddle” wraps up the loose ends of the post-“Piper”, pre-DSOTM period – with refinement of past ideas and a glimpse of things to come.

“Meddle” is a six track melodic yet psychedelic record, that from the opening Nick MASON’s distorted voice in “One of These Days” till the 2:13 minutes of “Seamus”, drive all the way home to listen to the “Echoes”, one of the most significant PF’s songs and of the most enigmatic too; over 23 minutes of euphoria and synchrony, “Echoes” overdrives the whole meaning of this album. In 1971, Meddle” created a prelude to PF’s next masterful album and that’s without a doubt, “Dark Side of the Moon”. I think this album opened PF’s fans minds up to caught their attention to what was next of their career, and “Meddle” is that, the previous step to what I think is this master prog band best album, or at least one of them. To understand, to question, to magnify PF’s creation to an upper level, “Meddle” is the key that will open up the lock to meaningful prog ways.

One of PINK FLOYD’s most exquisite piece of work. Never before, never again do the pieces fit together so seamlessly, each a joy on its own and in combination.
