Double cd on European EMI Uden pressing

There’s no way that a visionary band like Pink Floyd can be summed up in a conventional greatest-hits collection, but Echoes is just offbeat enough to work. Instead of boring old chronological order, it jumps freely between the psychedelic Syd Barrett era, the prog-rock majesty of the classic lineup, and David Gilmour’s last stand. Late-night FM hits sit right next to side-long epics. The album is so well crafted with some alterations as needed for time constraints, and some new intervals specially created to smoothe out transitions from track to track. These flow beautifully for full enjoyment of this new home for well beloved tunes. You now no longer need to own the entire set of all their works to get to know the Floyd, you can start here, although if you can afford to, you should. So all these new segues that link all the songs together, makes this a cohesive concept album in its own right.
