Free Music Notes for Meddle
Free Music Review: After I heard "Dark Side of the Moon", I heard some of these tracks playing on FM radio back in 1974
Hit: 5 Stars
The opening instrumental track on this album, called "One of These Days" was one of those kind of songs that made me worship the DJ's of WRIF FM Detriot back when I was 13. I then noticed that "Fearless" was also playing on the radio pretty regularly, which was cool, but when I bought this album and played the track "Echoes", I was blown away! My taste in music pretty much changed over night.
Back in Detroit, in the late fall of 1974; I was still listening to AM radio. Of course, every Saturday, I tuned in to the Casey Kasem American Top Forty. Disco was just beginning and some of the silliest songs started to become the most popular songs. So, my aunt introduced me to an FM rock station, and I started to hear music with more depth and intensity. I started to listen to Robin Trower, Led Zeppelin, Alice Cooper, Queen, Aerosmith, and the such.
But then, I started hearing those FM rock stations playing older, more unusual expressions of rock. I paid more attention to the instrumentation of the music, and in turn, I discovered Progressive Rock. In one day, I discovered King Crimson's "In the Court of the Crimson King", then "And You and I" by Yes, and then the title track from Emerson, Lake, and Palmer's "Trilogy." That was it! I never played AM radio again. In fact, I began to hate the songs that I thought I loved earlier. Nevermore. I was on a new path for what music meant to me. I never played my 45's ever again (well, not for quite a long time anyway). My first stereo that I bought was an 8-track tape stereo, with a turntable on top. I started buying 8-track tapes for rock albums, but I definitely bought vinyl LP's for my favorite Progressive Rock albums. I started buying all the available Pink Floyd albums, and when "Wish You Were Here" came out in 1975, I never listened to AM radio ever again.
Here it is, nearly 2010, and I'm still loving music from nearly 40 years ago, that sounds more futuristic and advanced than music has sounded for the past 20 years. Progressive Rock is magical, mystical, and optimistically psychological.

For all that menacing, hatchet-happy growl at the beginning of Meddle's opener, "One of These Days," Pink Floyd really weren't about to "cut you into little pieces." Meddle did, however, show that the reigning British monarchs of 1970s-era psychedelia could rip into galloping jams. It also showed what its predecessor, Atom Heart Mother, promised--that the band could excel in long, breathtaking suites that revealed strains of late-classical music, Sun Ra-inspired space explorations, and a patchwork approach to colliding sounds that together took on acid-drenched proportions. And if all that isn't enough, "San Tropez" revealed a playful side of the band, playing footsy with loungy jazz and having good fun in the process. --Andrew Bartlett
