Info zu Meddle (2011 Remastered Version)

Meddle is the sixth studio album by English rock band Pink Floyd, by Harvest Records. The album was produced between the band's touring commitments, from January to August 1971 at a series of locations around London, including Abbey Road Studios and Morgan Studios.

With no material to work with and no clear idea of the album's direction, the band devised a series of novel experiments which eventually inspired the album's signature track "Echoes". Although the band's later albums would be unified by a central theme with lyrics written entirely by Roger Waters, Meddle was a group effort with lyrical contributions from each member, and is considered a transitional album between the Syd Barrett-influenced group of the late 1960s and the emerging Pink Floyd.[1] The cover has been explained by its creator Storm Thorgerson to be an ear underwater;[2] as with several previous albums designed by Hipgnosis, though, Thorgerson was unhappy with the final result.

The album was well received by critics upon its release, and was commercially successful in the United Kingdom, but lacklustre publicity on the part of the band's American label Capitol Records led to poor sales there upon initial release.

"This "independent critical analysis" is actually a terrific exploration of the Meddle album by Pink Floyd as well as a look into the music they created at this point in time -- Atom Heart Mother, the soundtrack to Zabriskie Point, even a discussion of some of their contemporaries like King Crimson. It's almost up there with the "Classic Albums" DVD review of Electric Ladyland by the Jimi Hendrix Experience since the people behind the documentary include comments from former Floyd producer Norman Smith, Pete Banks from the group Yes, Hugh Hopper from the Soft Machine who they list as a 1960s Pink Floyd touring partner and some critics from a variety of media. Meddle is an album that has had to stand in the shadow of more popular work by Pink Floyd and this is a very well written and executed study of this quirky and essential band and their pre-Dark Side of the Moon compositions. The bonus of "The Remarkable Roger Barrett" is actually a nice memorial to Syd Barrett while the contributors get their own text pages of bio information which they deserve. Pink Floyd may be as overexposed as U2, but this study is far superior to the double-disc U2 Collectors Box which drones on about nothing -- here the people involved really seem to care about the subject matter. They aren't cashing in as much as adding to the legend and putting a focus on some music that deserves more classic rock airplay as well as more attention from the fan base. There is real insight on the album given here and it will hold your attention. Well done." (Joe Viglione, AMG)
