      Speak to me and breathe are often seen as one track. So I’m guessing time was the track they referenced here?

        Time is by far my favorite. Took listening to it as an adult for it to click, as a kid you were there for the music. Some young adults get it the first time though, and the look on their faces when they do…

    If you ever see the PF cover band Brit Floyd playing anywhere near you, I highly recommend seeing them. Brought me nearly to tears with how true to the source material it is. For those of us born too late for pink Floyd’s heyday, it’s damned close enough to the original.

    They play the hits and knock them out of the park. The backup singer on Time was so amazing that the audience erupted into standing ovations and cheers like 3 times at the show I saw. And the laser light show was incredible, holy shit.

    Smoke some weed, get some good noise cancelling headphones and put this album on start to finish. It makes for a great listen.

    Just the time signature of “Money” is a work of art. You spend most of your time listening to 4/4 or 3/4 but Money does 5/4 7/4 apparently! in a way you don’t even notice

    Edit - haven’t listened to it in decades but now I think about it, the comments below are correct, it’s 7/4 which is even odder

      you should have a look into ‘King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard’

      they are extremely prolific and make use of many different odd musical techniques like wacky times sigs

      Some of my favorite bands using lots of odd time signatures are Rush, Tool and Soundgarden. Check them out if you like that about Pink Floyd!
