Pink folk and other styles,
By AGC2070 (Ashford, Kent, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: More (Audio CD)
If you asked Pink Floyd to come up with an album comprising mostly of 3-4 minute songs and covering all the musical styles of the era, this is what you would get. Consequently, it has a genuine 60s feel to it. Richard Wright's organ work is hypnotic on Cirrus Minor and Cymbaline, and Pink Floyd rock out as never before (or since) on The Nile Song. This is much heavier than anything Led Zeppelin have done; Nick Mason bashes his drum-skins for all he's worth and Dave Gilmour all but lascerates his throat. Ibiza Bar sounds like The Nile Song Part II and consequently loses some of its impact. There are three very etheral tracks, of which the 7 minute Quicksilver is the most demanding. Main Theme begins very similarly (crashing cymbals and swirling organ) but a quirky melody seems to rise out of this. Then there's More Blues which has a peculiar stop/start drum pattern, and A Spanish Piece which provides a rare example of Pink Floyd messing about - the years of angst-ridden lyrics were still a little way off. There is even a hint of world music about Party Sequence and a jazzy feel to Up the Khyber. The surprise though, is the use of folk music styles on Crying Song, Green is the Colour and Cymbaline. This is Pink Floyd at their most eclectic, and it only the fact that it sounds a little tentative compared to the truly bizarre Ummagumma that I hold back from giving it five stars. The album's high point is the transition from the birdsong and general relaxed feel of Cirrus Minor into the crashing intro of The Nile Song.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Low budget surprise,
By D. J. H. Thorn "davethorn13" (Hull, UK) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: More (Audio CD)
Until "Meddle", the Floyd didn't really have an identifiable sound and this deceptively cheap-sounding release is proof of that. Sparse acoustic songs mixed with basic hard rock and the usual experiments add up to a distinct and unpredictable soundtrack. "The Crying Song" is a personal favourite and shows that the band could do the simple stuff beautifully. The two loud rock numbers are based on the same music and performed with cheerful abandon. It's as if they're saying, "We can do metal, but we're not really interested." "Cirrus Minor" is more like the Floyd you'd expect from this period. At first, I found the stately organ drone a shade dull, but the more I listen to it the more I seem to hear within it. Meanwhile, "More Blues" and "Quicksilver" sound as if they belong to the experimentation of "Ummagumma". In short, there's a lot packed into this album and it's one of the band's more interesting yet obscure releases. If you're interested in early post-Barrett Floyd, this is essential.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Full of Wright's Turkish Delight!,
By
This review is from: More (Audio CD)
This album is a collection of great chill out tracks and then some.Recorded after Saucerful of Secrets but before Ummagumma it heralds the likes of Cirrus Minor and The Nile Song (both also on "Relics") but also some rather quaint yet beautiful numbers: Cymbaline, Crying Song, Green is the Colour. The best tracks are those that make use of the classic early floyd sound - Rick Wright's Turkish Delight keyboards. Check this out for the haunting "Main Theme" and Gilmour's strange comedy number "A Spanish Piece". I personally think Ibiza Bar (also on this album) is far more interesting that "The Nile Song" as it uses better effects on the guitar and seems to be better produced. A classic.
