Here we can discuss the album. Personally, it is my favorite post-Piper album before Meddle, which I like more. I love Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun, where all 5 members are featured. It also has the very Beatlesy Corporal Clegg, with 3 distinct sections to hear. One of my all time favorite Floyd songs, Syds farewell, Jugband Blues is also on A Saucerfull. Its great listening. What do you think?

I love the "Mrs. Clegg, "This is Clegg" section, leading into the kazoo solo. Vocals by Nick Mason. I think this is the closest the Pink Floyd came to sounding like The Beatles, as they had lost their frontman and were using the great influence to shape their music. After Saucerfull, the band really broke off in their own creative direction.

Can syd gilmour or meddler please change the thread title to 'A Saucerful Of Secrets' (one L)? That's the way it's spelled on the record. Thank you. - Pedantic Pink  Anyway, this is quite a nice album... at first I preferred Piper, but now I like them both about equally. Nick has said that it's his favourite Pink Floyd album, I think because of the 'crossfade' between Syd and Dave. My favourites have to be 'Remember A Day' and 'Jugband Blues' -- I've never liked 'Corporal Clegg' (sorry Sydmour and Mad Bugger, I know you like it). I also kinda like 'See-Saw' even though it's rather wots...uhthedeal? because I have quite a large soft spot for all things Wright. I have always thought that the title track would make an amazing Halloween haunted-house theme. |

I posted it on mobile and used predictive spelling. It gave me "Saucerfull," which I thought looked wrong, but I never bothered to check. Thanks for the correction

One of my fave Floyd albums. Just everything is great about it. Trumps all later Floyd albums in my opinion. (Except Relics. ) |

I love Corporal Clegg. Very eccentric and Python-esque! I have to admit, I did find Remember A Day a bit slow for my liking though. I wouldn't say the album is as whimsical and bouncy as Piper, but there are some gems thrown in there! |
