Comments about Pink Floyd - A Saucerful of Secrets:
This second album from Pink Floyd is simply one of their best. The last to feature Syd Barrett and the first to feature Dave Gilmour, this album really marks the cross-over of where the original Pink Floyd finished and the new one began. Gilmour's influence centres the band more - it's still experimental in places but the experimentation seems to have more direction than on "Piper At The Gates Of Dawn". "Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun" is truly great Roger Waters moment (check out the live version on Ummagumma too!), and easily the best track. On the whole, a great album from the true psychedelic masters!

Comments about Pink Floyd - A Saucerful of Secrets:
Syd Barratt's finest Floyd contribution. This early Floyd still packs a punch to the earholes. Not as sophisticated as Dark Side of the Moon or The Wall - but musically magnificent and bonkers by turns. Fascinating stuff!

Comments about Pink Floyd - A Saucerful of Secrets:
The sound of a band finding its feet after losing a brilliant leader in Syd Barrett. Long before bassist Roger Waters dominated the band, it's keyboardist Richard Wright who emerges as Syd's most likely successor on the whimsical Remember a Day and See-Saw. Waters makes his mark with Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun. Barrett only provides the closing track, Jugband Blues, the meanderings of a man disappearing into an acid twilight.
