PT-Cruzer reviews Pink Floyd Meddle CD.

Pink Floyd's Meddle was arguably the best work of the bands career up to that point, and was an extremely well balanced and focused album, which was released just after the soundtrack to the French movie Obscured By Clouds.
That music flowed beautifully, but was conceptual, and folowed the particular guidelines of the producer of that film.
Meddle, however, stands alone and apart from that work, displaying the ever-growing musical talents of the band, and the songwriting abilities of Roger Waters.
I bought this particular CD, as it was offered by a seller who just happened to be selling the DVD of the Syd Barrett Story, (which I also bought)who was the founding member of the group, and had just recently died at age 60, which prompted me to begin a Pink Floyd retrospective, buying books, video, and music to help me to re-visit the amazing career of this remarkable band.
Meddle contains beautiful music through-out, and I particularly love the song Fearless for the dynamic chord progression, and the powerful lyrics. That song, alone, was probably the main reason I wanted this CD. That, and the fact that it filled a particular niche in my collection, as I last owned this on Vinyl!
The ONLY thing which I dislike about this particular CD, is what I consider the weakest part, musically, which is the song Seamus, a Blues track accompanied by the howling of the dog Seamus.
Another small gripe is that the cover artwork is darker than the origional, and not well defined, which leads me to suspect that it may be a copy.
