I used to work in some cavern somewhere sometime that had a door that, when moved briefly made exactly the same ping at the start of Echoes. They could have recorded it much cheaper there.

Both fantastic pieces. Echoes is an instrumental with vocals illustrating what the music portrays, Shine On has that sense of space and eternity that fits in with the remember Syd idea. Oddly perhaps,I prefer to think of the lyrics in a more abstract way, more general perhaps. I, er, did not know Syd. Few did. But they both have that monumental epic quality. And DG guitar.

I almost forgot Echoes had vocals on it but yes between all even sounded like the phantom of the opera except not related to the fab lead guitar breaks yay!

I gotta say that both are the equivalent of joy for me.....
Add to that Atom Heart Mother and we have a triptych of fantastic Prog-Floyd that rivals the best of any sub-genre.....

ECHOES. You can't find any "Equal" stuffs. "Equal" things never exist specially in Art.

Shine On for me, although Echoes definitely has its moments (but a bit outdated for me to be honest Confused)

Shine On You Crazy Diamond.
When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

I couldn't figure out how to justify voting for Echoes, so I'll borrow your idea: "Going Strong & Sounding Fresh for 43 Years and Counting"
