01 (Speak to Me / Breathe) - Immediately understanding why this is considered a rite of passage for drug related feelings, this is extremely calm and mellow, I can get behind this.
02 (On the Run)- Quick track switchup, different tone immediately while still retaining the same kind of atmosphere of the first track. Love these ambient sounds of soneone running, experimental electronic bits and pieces. Wishing I had extra context in front of me right now. This would get under my skin in all the good ways if I was high.
03 (Time) - ...Nevermind those clocks amd alarms would make me jump too hard, maybe.
HOLY SHIT IT'S THIS SONG, I haven't heard this since I was a child, swiping music off my mother's MP3 ! Fuck me I love the mellow ambience of this.
(There's a kid kicking my chair hard enough to make me think I should turn around. Not gonna.)
This is the strangest nostalgia trip, I had no idea what I was listening to back then. I can really get behind this.
04 (The Great Gig in the Sky) - Don't know where these vocals are going exactly or what they're conveying.
05 (Money) - ...Do I recognize this ?
Shit, I think I do, this is another one I heard as a child, had to be on that same MP3, some little SanDisk nugget clip thing.
(Wow I fucking hate this turbulence, it's hard to relax and enjoy the music with it...)
This saxophone is fantastic with the super wavy sounding guitars in the background. Oh my god then that buildup to the next part, that's fantastic too.
Something about seeing the clouds below pass by as the guitars from 4 minutes onwards groove on is a very distinct feeling, something special. I'm only noticing now how layered and busy the track sounds, while still being very coherent and polished.
06 (Us and Them) - Back to the same tone and atmosphere as track 1.
(Gonna have to pause this to decline snacks or water...why the fuck do I smell nuts...)
I don't know how I'd feel if the whole album sounded like this. A more consistent tone I feel would just make it feel one note and less memorable. I do love this sound though, this is the perfect tone for where I exist in the universe presently. I don't even want to write, I just want to soak in the music.
07 (Any Colour You Like) - I didn't even notice the track change, shit, that had to be a smooth transition.
08 (Brain Damage) - This ambience, good god I'm in love, this album needs to melt all over me.
09 (Eclipse) - A final thought comes to my head, maybe more a realization. I've not been hit with that feeling I can recognize where I hear something, and can pinpoint other songs where I've heard inspiration drawn. For such an influential album, this feels highly unique and almost experimental. I have no way of looking up the actual identified genre of this, but there's a ton of creative ideas I've just never heard anywhere else, partially because if anyone were to straight copy them, it'd sound... different, wrong, I don't know.
What an album and experience
