Pink Floyd - Meddle
(1971, Harvest)

[Fritz The Cat]

A simple and cool one. Look at these hands!
Smoothly produced by Keith Richards and Steve Jordan (drums). Waddy Wachtel, guitars. Larry Campbell, pedal steel. Bobby Keys saxophone. Norah Jones, cool duet lead vocals on track D3. The beauty and the......?
Listen to all the Farfisas, to the Wurlitzers and Hammond organs. Where have these fantastic instruments been for all these years?
Very good Czech Republic pressing: big amount of work for the last (4?) vinyl pressing factories of Europe in these times.........
Highly recommended! Impressive. This one goes straight to my heart.

Last week listening to the powerful tunes of the "Rheinfall" in Schaffhausen. Very low frequencies!!! You may feel the vibrations beneath the falling water. Good vibrations.
Listening also to many foreign languages of the tourists there.
So there was much water after these days of big rain in Switzerland!

Pink Floyd - Meddle

This one was the second LP i ever bought in my youth. Unforgettable. Special Swiss edition.
Superb dynamics also after hundreds of times playing on various turntables during the last 45 years!

Nice. Looks like great summer weather there! Great time of year.

We drove an hour north today to visit my son at college in Bellingham, near the US/Canada border. Had a nice after-lunch hike down to a salt-water beach cove overlooking the San Juan Islands. The trees with red bark are the Pacific Madrona, native to the coast - beautiful trees.
