Pink Floyd
A Saucerful Of Secrets

THE REVIEW

It's difficult to talk about this album, believe me.
Without a doubt, it's a typical album in the Pink Floyd style, very beautiful and creative, happily aged, of historical and musical importance, epoch-making. But I certainly won't stop here, because there is much to say about this album, starting with "Let There Be More Light," a song with epically psychedelic tones, with Waters' incredibly calm voice and Gilmour's "angry" voice, just entered the group and already firmly integrated. The guitar, bass, and keyboards, punctuated by Mason's cymbals, seem to merge into one instrument creating an unrepeatable effect of chaos, great and strong chaos. Mind you, it's a great gem. But in the next track, "Remember A Day," a completely different atmosphere is breathed. Wright's piano navigates in calm and desolate waters, while Gilmour juggles as he has always known how to do, that is, like a master, with his precious guitar touches.

There's another change in style in "Set The Controls For The Heart," the next piece that is stubbornly psychedelic and gloomy. All four musicians blend their magical ideas into a mad creativity, and sign one of Pink Floyd's most famous pieces.
The fourth song, "Corporal Clegg," is a beautiful rock with some blues spice, played on Gilmour's guitar scans and the voice of Waters and Gilmour himself. Suddenly the track changes clothes and transforms into a cheerful mini-orchestra (I would like to call it harlequinade, it seems more appropriate) that anticipates the cheerful tones of "Jugband Blues," which closes the album.
Here's the title track, which is one of the most representative examples of Pink Floyd branded psychedelic rock. It starts with strange noises before launching into Mason's fantastic pyrotechnics, accompanied by Gilmour's slide guitar. In the end, the track changes and closes with the organ accompanied by the choir.

Now here is "See Saw," a song sung with the suave tones of Wright's voice. The song is memorable and shows in the end a great poetic lyricism. Now we have reached the end. I don't know how to talk about this song, "Jugband Blues," which perhaps is a somewhat awkward episode but is very important, because on this occasion the "mad diamond" appears. Yes, him, Syd.
It's precisely him who signs this piece, only accompanied by a sad acoustic guitar before the band bursts in. And after the piece concludes with Syd strumming his magical guitar, making us emotional and making us think of when he was still in Pink Floyd.
I'd like to think of this album as a memory, a memory of Syd Barrett and his anarchic psychedelia.
I hope you liked this review. I wanted to challenge myself, and I hope I succeeded.
