Favourite Song of the Week - Echoes by Pink Floyd from Meddle
This week, I downloaded Pink Floyd’s Meddle, an album from 1971, which is a good example of the Psychedelic to Progressive Rock genre change. Well, I can’t justify that, but it’s a mix of the two. And my favourite song comes from that album, which is Echoes. It is a splendid blend of Space and Water, with lyrics about the sea and music like the skies. You can hear gulls chirping and whales roaring in a section, and even The Phantom of the Opera's famous 10-note sequence that goes: (up) dun dun dun dun dun… (back down) dun dun dun dun dun… and so on. Seems like Andrew Lloyd Webber stole it from Pink Floyd (Meddle is from 1971 while The Phantom of the Opera is from 1986). Well, I hope you at least listen to the sample and judge whether Echoes is a good song or not.

Hmm...I must hear this part with Phantom of the Opera in it. Although I'm not willing to buy $10 worth of songs just to hear it. Any chance you can upload a 23+ minute song somehow? (compress it!)
This is totally unrelated to your blog entry but I thought you might think it was funny, I heard it on runehq.com

That would work great for Zaudragon and my blog..
Hi ,
I just downloaded the same album. My first idea has been to type in the words Phatom and Meddle in Google....
What more should I say

Another Brick In The Wall
You can't forget some of pink floyd's other music... Another Brick In The Wall was a number one hit in the 1970s, they also had a lot of other good songs too mind you. Can you name them?
