Schizophrenic album. One part experimental, the other more Floyd conventionnal (live).

The experimental part isn't constant. Completely unpredictable. The concept is simple: all Floyd members has created a small songs concept:

Sysyphus (organ-piano exercice created by Wright), Grantchester and Several Species (studio works exercices, Waters), The Narrow Way is more acoustic oriented (Gilmour) and The Grand Vizier... is something strange... a morse code-exercice (Mason).

The other part contains four classics, specially the better Astronomy Domine version I ever listened (better than The Piper at The Gates of Dawn version) and CAREFUL WITH THAT AXE (beautiful crescendo). I hate live version but here...

However, I find that the experimental part is sometime TOO experimental for nothing (but Sysyphus and The Narrow Way stay excellent).

GOOD BUT VERY NOT ACCESSIBLE. yours to discover.
