#1161 Pink Floyd - Meddle

Pink Floyd really committed to the whole waterey, ethereal thing on this one, skipping the the skeleton-building step and just letting it all wash and fade. Even when the riffs come, they're awash in subtle, full-bodied studio fuckery that today's indie watery domestics couldn't dream to strive to. The gigantic sidelong closer is the highlight, majestically listenable, even the boring sections justifying themselves as setup to payoffs that deserve them - it's a goddamn masterpiece of fearless pacing 4/5
