Best Yes Epic?

[Roger -Dot- Lee(Admin)]

Rock and Roll part 2?

Another thread that has morphed into something else............at least it's Pink Floyd and not Kings-bloody-X........Tmesis for VAX there.

As for Echoes..............I think it's a MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!!! I love the "Dings". Perfectly set the scene. I love the way the vocals come in. They move it on beautifully. The section where it gets "funky" gets me dancing EVERY time and then.............

The central section, Rick's "Middle Bit" makes me think of a Lighthouse or Beacon sweeping across a calm sea. It's NOT too long..it FITS!!! Then the switch back to the vocal and ending makes for a perfect ending.

If you want to get a REAL feel for the incredible POWER of this song, watch Pink Floyd "Live at Pompei". The vision of the band playing live and the edits of mount Etna are MESMERISING!!!!

A true PROG moment in time (no Floyd Pun intended, honest )

Flame on Rick!!!!!!!!!

Here's a post from Jim, from a thread I found. The reason I made that statement (don't get US started on Echoes) was that I remembered Jim saying something about it. My memory was correct, here it is...

hehehe - I was wondering how long it would take before somebody jumped on "Learning To Fly". I expected it, but that wasn't just bait - I do like the song. I did not say it was one of their best, just one of my favorites. I particularly like the lyrical content. And it is not attempting to be an epic - it works perfectly as a fairly simple 5 minute song.

I do like Atom Heart Mother better than Echoes. It's a bit disjointed, but I think it says and does a whole lot more than Echoes. I stick to my original statement - Echoes is a great 5 minute song. At 23 minutes, it's mediocre. The other factor is I probably heard Echoes more times in any single high school year than I've heard Atom Heart Mother in my life - so the "familiarity breeds contempt" factor may be coming into play.

Including POTW was probably trolling on my part, tho I do enjoy the simplicity. Thanks for biting...

That was our own Program Director....granted this quote I pulled out of context, so read back.....

go back on a search for "Echoes" and not only will you find a full discussion (on Floyd songs) but another thread praising the Pompei concert. It's a neat read, with posts by some long lost Moonies. there's even an Old Sol thread!

Superman's a Damn Fool - One of the better pieces in my opinion.
