Meddle is a fine album imo

[Ash]

apart from the ghastly intrusion of the hubcap thieves, obviously. It's the first time they found their 'second sound' after Syd left and those two albums of mostly garbage.

And I didn't realise that Waters had proposed calling 'Echoes' 'We won the double' in honour of our 71 glory.

I concur wholeheartedly and I never understand the cognoscenti's contention that some of the tracks, "Seamus" & "St Tropez" in particular, should be an embarrassment to them.

It heralds, as I think you allude to, the start of the greatest of the four Floyd incarnations.

Echoes is a great choon to pop on whilst commuting and feeling a bit road-ragey ...calms me right down

On my first trip, we'd been listening to tekno. When we were coming down, one went to bed and me and my mate went to his room and put on Echoes. When I heard the watery synth sounds at the start, I exclaimed "There's no way music like this can be legal."

Still my fave single toon of all time.

But the modern acid tekno I was listening to from 1992 onwards was even more mindblowing.

Would you be kind enough to put together a playlist of, say, the top 10, in your esteemed opinion., of that particular genre from that time?

I know that back then I heard some stuff that was stunning - multi layered and nuanced - but took no notice of the who and wherefore. It is more likely to be mushrooms these days btw as I no longer ever have a whole 10 hours to spend in the other place.

I wish I could, Herbs.

But I couldn't even keep two records in time. Ironically, the main man from the first sound system I hung out with, Bedlam, started a facebook page a month or so back, and I spoke to people I haven't seen in the flesh since the early '90s.

Including two of our best DJs (Murf and Aztek). I asked them, but they never made tapes back then. Though I could ask for recommendations.

Though I've found this, from the Liberator DJs. Those three played first, then Murf f¨cked with your head and took you out of body at the best parties, then Aztek gave you the mosh as dawn approached (or Sunday lunchtime depending on when we started) knowing your soul had been saved and you were in safe hands.

So this is the sound of the London underground scene in the early '90s. Well, part of it. This is the 303 stuff that got you going for a few hours until everyone was peaking.

Well worth a listen, but it's an hour long set so takes you on a trip.

If you want one silly song from a different style, the sort we'd play on Sunday afternoon when the rig had warmed up, this is a bit of a giggle:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqJ0NI-5SfE

As it's made for mixing, the first minute and a bit seems to have nothing, but listen from there (or the beginning) and wait for it to kick in.

This is the B-side. It's harder and faster than the classical London Underground above, as it's a year or two later. When hardcore was getting towards Gabba. But this is also a 303 tune, but being harder and faster is fun, but doesn't give your head as much space to rise the frequencies as the top mix. Worth a listen to get the idea of the move from acid towards Gabba:

Oh, you must listen to this. It's the story of my life.

Also by Liberator. The narrations starts after the first break c.1'45" in. Replace Stella with Special Brew and "until Monday night" with "for the next two decades" and this is true:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZH8jdFU3jM

It's a joke, but it's funny if you lived it, and still has a great 303-line on the mix-out.

But if you want some Spiral Tribe Hard Trance as opposed to Bedlam acid (which you may prefer on shrooms, or depending on taste), I'll try and dig some out for you.

If I may, one more taking into consideration Herbs proclivities. A bit risque, I admit.
