^Yes, McCulloch was the drummer on that album; Giles played on Poseidon, though.  Can't comment on his playing on that as I wasn't impressed with the album and haven't listened to it in a long time.

I'm glad they didn't, we would never have had the wonderfully eclectic music from many different lineups over the years, although it would have been interesting to hear what they would have come up with.  I find myself not really very excited about ITCotCK these days, but given the incredible musicians those guys were, I'm sure they would have evolved into something even better.  Still, I'm happy we got all the other lineups instead.

One thing I really would have liked to hear is Michael Giles on more records, to my knowledge he maybe appeared on one more album besides ITCotCK but he was such an incredible drummer with such a small output.


I'm really surprised Giles isn't mentioned much around here with his skills, especially on Lizard and ITCotCK.
Ian Damn. Andy McCulloch drums on Lizard, and wonderfully so.

1. I think Tales from Topographic Oceans would have been marginally better but Relayer would have been crippled.


Hmm...I don't know that Relayer would have been bad, and Bruford would definitely have gotten more into it than he did into the earlier material.  It would have been different, though.  Much different.  And no, not as good, methinks, as it would have lost some of the aggressiveness that White brought to it.  Bruford was jazzier but White fit the album better and gave it balance.

Anyways... I also wonder what would happen if Steven Wilson kept PT as a one-man project. I bet we'd still be hearing psychedelic experiments, and he'd be a lot further under the radar leaving his stellar solo output and 2002-2007 run of PT albums out of the mix...
I consider drone metal to be progressive...

Was about to say that. I don't care much for Islands and Starless and Bible black. While Red and Larks are good stuff but I find Larks has a few holes. I miss the Posiedon boys
All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

3) Syd Barrett was able to pull himself together and Pink Floyd continued as a 5 piece with both Syd and David Gilmour.

2. Nothing would be much different, except we would not have had the pretty good A Trick of the Tail and the excellent Wind and Wuthering.

3. What does a "pulled together" Syd look and sound like?
