early pink floyd really made some of the best atmospheric music ever, this, saucerful of secrets and interstellar overdrive have to be some of the best songs ever recorded
The influence for this song was " " "Blue Sands" by Chico Hamilton Quintet - Jazz on a summers day recorded live at Newport jazz festival 1958 and you can hear the drum comparison
How it is possible that 465 people dislike this amazing sound, one of the wonders of the music of all times? This is a hyme to all our senses, soul and mind ❤
I think a lot on the ancient Dyonisos rituals when I hear this. Imagine being full of wine, in the middle of an orgy, trascending this appearance state of life to a higher one where all are in all... just to recognize later that existence is truly terrifying and tragic, where life is beauty and wishable still. Existence is nothing but an aesthetic event.
There is a San Francisco band named Om who seem to have taken this song as their starting point. They are worth a listen if you like this era of Floyd.
