Pink Floyd's "Echoes"


Hi everyone. Not being a big Floyd fan, but enjoying their music occasionally, I wondered how the sound quality of the new "ECHOES " compilation compares to the MoFi audiophile CD's or previous remasterings.

It's a strange release this one in terms of the track listing,covering all 3 phase's of Floyd from Barrett to post-Waters,since I'm not much of a fan past '81 I was going to give it a miss however the remastering(yet again!) angle will probably drive me to buy it now.
The very idea of a best of Floyd seems odd and another blatant record company/band ploy to milk the cash cow that is Floyd.
Does it work as a record in it's own right or does it just sound like a lot of disjointed snapshots ?
Check out this link to a seventeen minute promo for the album. It is a fairly amazing job.

Let me know if the link works.
Thanks for the link. It works and it is a great piece on one of the all-time greatest bands. The CD is quite good. Eventhough I am not a early Floyd devotee, it is nice to have some of that era included. The one gripe I have is the closing of the CD. It would have be much nicer to have "High Hopes" as the ending instead of "Bike". Definitely a must buy.
