Pink Floyd - A Trick of the Light

The sound quality is perfectly acceptable, bearing in mind the age and nature of this recording: it's reasonably clear and distortion-free. -TAP (#50) 
Interstellar Overdrive is one of the best post Barrett versions I've heard. The band clank and screech along nicely, and indulge in plenty of impovisation. Even better is the closing track A Saucerful Of secrets (NB: listed on the sleeve as Set The Controls...). This version is a raging howl, full of some of the most bitter, grating and violent noise ever recorded. Unfortunately, it fades out tantalisingly before the end, but it's still among the best 18 minutes 13 seconds of the Floyd's career. Atom Heart Mother is one of those post-orchestrated unorcchestrated versions. Embryo, in contrast to the weedy demo on Works and Picnic compilations, comes alive on stage, and this is a powerful version with yet more improvisation.
