that always gives me the chills. overall, the texture of the album cinches it for me. thick and luxurious.

Sounds like one of the solos ("one of", oh dear) towards the end of "Dogs". I rate Animals quite highly among Floyd albums, probably because "Dogs" takes up so much of the album. Wonder if there were any Van Der Graaf Generator fans in the Floyd, as at least part of "Dogs" sounds to me like it takes its cue from the first part of "A Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers".

Still, T/S as abstract response to punk: Animals vs. Presence.

They did share concert bills together a couple of times. If memory serves, there was one 1969 concert that was PF, Fleetwood Mac, and VdGG.
That could just be the best concert bill ever.

Brent Hinds, in the Mastadon docu-making-of for Blood Mountain remarked that he wanted to end the album in a way akin to Floyd. Except, instead of dogs barking he was going to use a kitten. Hi-larious!

By the way, what about that advert for Direct Live insurance that starts out with what is fairly blatantly a version of "Careful With That Axe, Eugene" which, jarringly and bizarrely, turns into the Direct Live tune at the end?

learnin things about this song on wikipedia- The second half of the song where Gilmour plays muted notes on the guitar over Wright's slowly building organ solo was inspired by the Beach Boys song "Good Vibrations".- The title "Echoes" was also subjected to significant revisions before and after the release of Meddle: Waters, a devoted football fan, proposed that the band call its new piece "We Won the Double" in celebration of Arsenal's 1971 victory, and during a 1972 tour of Germany he jovially introduced it on two consecutive nights as "Looking Through the Knothole in Granny's Wooden Leg" (a reference to The Goon Show; the phrase appeared in an episode titled "The £50 Cure")[5] and "The March of the Dam Busters", respectively.- Similar to the Dark Side of the Rainbow effect,[6] some listeners suggested that "Echoes" synchronizes with Stanley Kubrick's 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey when played concurrently with the final segment (titled "Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite").- The 1973 George Greenough film "Crystal Voyager" concludes with a 23 minute segment in which the full length of "Echoes" accompanies a montage of images shot by Greenough from a camera mounted on his back while surfing on his kneeboard.
