{"product_id":"meddle-2","title":"Meddle","description":"Pink Floyd: David Gilmour (vocals, guitar); Roger Waters (bass instrument); Nick Mason (drums); Richard Wright .\u003cbr\u003ePersonnel: Richard Wright (vocals, keyboards); Roger Waters (vocals, bass guitar); Nick Mason (percussion).\u003cbr\u003eMEDDLE was the first album to hint at the musical identity that would define Pink Floyd in the mid- to late-'70s. Whereas prior releases like UMMAGUMMA and ATOM HEART MOTHER announced the presence of new singer\/guitarist\/songwriter David Gilmour, MEDDLE represents the band's Gilmour-influenced evolution toward a sleek, epic, spacey sound. In \"Echoes,\" an ambitious 23-minute soundscape, the pinging of a synthesizer greets the listener before Gilmour's warm, open guitar and gentle crooning gives way to a repetitious, workmanlike rhythm. From here, the music fades into an abyss of whale calls and eerie sonic reverberations.\u003cbr\u003eElsewhere, Floyd dabbles with straightforward cocktail-hour jazz (\"San Tropez\") and a twisted slow blues (\"Seamus\"). But it is \"One of These Days,\" MEDDLE's opening track and lone radio staple, that truly previews things to come. Roger Waters's bass, played through a Binson echo unit, establishes the song's manically hypnotic groove, as Richard Wright's synthesizer bursts in and out, Nick Mason's off-kilter drum fills get tossed around, and Gilmour's guitar dive-bombs through it all. These varied sound effects, packaged in a song that clocked in at less than six minutes, were a precedent for the masterpiece that was two years away: DARK SIDE OF THE MOON.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46915556606239,"sku":"724382974925","price":97.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/6a19a2b69bf0563d059d21ae52ed5c04.jpg?v=1777973305","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/meddle-2","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
