If you've got a copy of Pink Floyd _Ummagumma_ or _Works_, take a listen to the track called "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict" and see if its rythms and sounds don't bring Richard James to mind! Oh...and the track was written in 1969! --/\/\ichael

I always preferred to call it "Ewoks in Heat." It's a strange but cool moldy oldie. <G> OnNow: Swamp Terrorists _Combat Shock_ - took me a LONG time to get it, but get it I did this morning. I dig these guys. =B)

I thought this was common knowledge, but, directly or indirectly, Pink Floyd influenced everybody! Interstellar Overdrive, released in '66 or '67 (it's on their first album "Piper At the Gates of Dawn", as well as some other places), had lots of ambient elements (especially after the first 2 minutes of guitar-song intro). All the earlier innovative stuff like Sergeant Pepper, T. Dream, etc. were directly influenced by Pink Floyd. If you took your time machine and went back and prevented Pink Floyd from getting together (maybe changing their art school application replies to "denied" :-) ), then when you came to '94, the only albums you would recognize would be Garth Brooks! PS Unfortunately, Mobile Fidelity had to cancel their version of "Ummagumma" because the master tapes have deteriorated. :-( - respect to all, Ken ken@snowcrest.net (primary address) (if no answer, try ken.stuart@tigerteam.org )

Well, I don't think there's a such thing as an "ambient Pink Floyd album", as the mood and pace varies over each one. But to use an example, 1971's "Meddle" has a long track called "Echoes" that takes up side two; Namlook and Atmo's "Silence 2" on FAX samples the hell out of this track. I wouldn't really call any Floyd "Ambient"; more like "languid Psychedelia" in the early days. You can hardly go wrong with anything released before "Dark Side of the Moon"; "Piper At The Gates of Dawn", "Saucerful of Secrets", "Ummagumma", "Relics", "Meddle" etc. ... (though personally I was never quite as fond of stuff like "Atom Heart Mother" or the "More" soundtrack ... ) - Greg [ Gritting my teeth waiting for someone to say "Hey maaaaan, what about `The Wall', maaaaan" (-: ]
