The Piper can't be waiting At The Gates Of Dawn forever, so, let's see what happens. Will Clouds obscure the Piper?  Can Barret be compared with Gilmour, in any way whatsoever? One vote. Three PF classics in all their six permutations. Choose your row, speak your mind, follow the Piper to Ibiza, and I don't remember where else. |

Piper is a masterpiece that smokes the two soundtracks by a long shot. Of the two soundtrack, they both are about half-great. I'll give the slight nod to More for being a tad bit weirder and for not having "Free Four" on it. ------------- ...that moment you realize you like "Mob Rules" better than "Heaven and Hell" |

If I think of Free Four as a sort of lost Status Quo song played by Floyd, I start to like it quite a bit.  |

Clouds > Piper > More. Before I enter this timeline, I want some assurance that I'm not going to be a thermometer. ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

A barometer lets you know when it's gonna rain, fine thing, if you wanna be a thing. |

OBC>Piper>More More interesting (possibly) would have been adding Zabriskie Point into the mix, and maybe dropping Piper. ------------- Is it any wonder that the monkey's confused? |

^^ I discarded Zabriskie for not being a Floyd-only album (though I like it), and MFTB for being a Waters-Geesin thing, rather than a proper PF album. I'm not sure if it was a good call, since Piper is such a strong contender, but, on the other hand, both alternatives seemed too weak. To me, at least.

| ^ I love that track. It makes me think that it may have had some influence on electronic people like Tangerine Dream, or Popol Vuh, maybe even Jarre. |
