The Early Pink Floyd, part 5. We have landed in 1971, the year in which ‘Echoes’ was released and in which the band made recordings for a movie in Pompeii. Via ‘Nothing’, ‘The Return of Nothing’ and ‘The Son of the Return of Nothing’ we arrive at a new, long song called ‘Echoes’. The rest of the album ‘Meddle’ shows a wide variety of styles. Working on ‘Echoes’ turned out to be a good way to lay the foundation for Pink Floyd’s most succesful album ‘Dark Side of the Moon’. But before that album, first ‘Obscured by Clouds’ was released. We will play that in part 6, the last part, of ‘The Early Pink Floyd’ series.
