Description
Item :
Pink Floyd original U.K. 7" single featuring Point Me At The Sky b/w Careful With That Axe Eugene released in 1968 on the Columbia label DB 8511.
Description :
Rare and very hard to find early Floyd single. Classic psychedelia.
This period was one of musical experimentation for the band. Gilmour, Waters and Wright each contributed material that had its own voice and sound, giving this material less consistency than the Barrett-dominated early years or the more polished, collaborative sound of later years. As Barrett had been the lead singer during his era, Gilmour, Waters and Wright now split both songwriting and lead vocal duties. Waters mostly wrote low-key, jazzy melodies with dominant bass lines and complex, symbolic lyrics, Gilmour focused on guitar-driven blues jams, and Wright preferred melodic psychedelic keyboard-heavy numbers. Unlike Waters, Gilmour and Wright preferred tracks that had simple lyrics or that were purely instrumental. Some of the band's most experimental music is from this period, such as "A Saucerful of Secrets" consisting largely of noises, feedback, percussion, oscillators and tape loops, and "Careful with That Axe, Eugene" (which also went by a number of other names) a bass and keyboard-heavy jam culminating in crashing drums and Waters' primal screams.
