i was wondering how this would sound. PINK FLOYD has always done piece recordings and i didn't know had it would sound taking songs out of their element and throwing them together. well the songs fit nicely together and sounds great.
Marooned *****8. Set aside some time to listen to this collection - it is 2 ½ hours long. That is not a bad thing - the song is great in either length, and the shorter version gives you something to look forward to if you decide to move on to collect Pink Floyd's other albums.Here are my song-by-song ratings.Disc: 1 1. Before I purchased this collection, my only Pink Floyd CD was "Dark Side of the Moon," probably like so many other people.
The Great Gig in the Sky *****9. See Emily Play ***1/2 3. Echoes ***** 6. Wow - what a great "Best of." collection indeed. Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts 1-7) *****2. Bike ***Make no mistake, Pink Floyd is a 5-star band all the way, and some of the songs in this collection work better in context on their original albums. Learning to Fly ****1/29.
Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2) ***5. The Fletcher Memorial Home ****4. Time *****3. The Happiest Day of Our Lives ***1/24. Through this collection, I have moved on to discover the terrific albums from which these songs have been drawn."Echoes" is named after Pink Floyd's magnificent song of the same name from the 1971 album "Meddle," although on this collection the song has been shortened from 23 minutes to 16 minutes. Comfortably Numb *****5. When the Tigers Broke Free ***6. Keep Talking ****1/212.
Hey You ****1/27. Money ****11. Arnold Layne ***1/210. Pink Floyd's albums are meant to be heard in their entirety, so a "Best of" collection may not seem like a good idea, but here it really does work well. Us And Them ****8.
One of These Days *****7. Wish You Were Here ****11. But for the price, this collection is a great introduction to the works of a truly magnificent band. Sorrow *****Disc: 2 1. Astronomy Domine ***1/22.
High Hopes *****13. Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun ****10. Sheep *****13. Jug Band Blues **1/212. As an interesting aside, the way the songs fade into each other and the sequence itself creates a kind of guided tour through Pink Floyd's catalog.
30. This was a gift for my son. Almost a month getting it. It was sad that I didn't have it on Christmas. I did receive it in the shipping window, but I ordered it on Nov. Dealing with the seller was just okay, and I saw some other responses from him that were NOT nice. Would NOT buy from this seller again.
First of all excuse any mistakes in my english. This compilation is a great introduction to Pink Floyd music. Their music is beautiful and soothing, and most of it feel like waking up within a dream and being taken into a strange and wonderful world.Although it misses some great songs (Fat Old Sun, Brain Damage/Eclipse, Summer 68, Mother and maybe an edited version of Atom Heart Mother) and some songs should have not been here (Set The Controls, Marooned, Keep Talking, When The Tigers Broke Free) and my favorite Echoes was edited, overall this is a great compilation that I like to listen to when I'm working at my computer or when I just sit and sip a good glass of wine.I ordered the 4 vinyl box set and sounds great, I think even better than the cd, and the artwork is beautiful and sophisticated.Greetings from Mexico.
Very great disc for discover Pink Floyd, if you don't want to buy another expensive PF CDs.I received it very crashed and I had to change the CD box. I don't know how people can send CDs with no correct protecion boxes.
