The riff from Interstellar Overdrive is based on the theme tune to Steptoe & Son. yes

They overheard Carnival of Light, didn't they? And decided to do one of their own.

This is actually going to be about a scarecrow, isn't it?

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Jun 01, 2020 5:33 pm

Some sort of harpsichord related instrument.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Jun 01, 2020 5:33 pm

Oh for God's sake, they've turned into Neil Innes.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Jun 01, 2020 5:34 pm

Out of tune piano.

Given it was recorded at Abbey Road, is it Mrs Mills' piano? Excited

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Jun 01, 2020 5:35 pm

Sound effects.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Jun 01, 2020 5:36 pm

This bit's good. It's like an evil duck laughing. happy

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Jun 01, 2020 5:39 pm

It is over.

That was hideous. When people say, "Psychedelia," to me, I immediately think of ex-public schoolboys going on about pixies and unicorns and flying around on the back of winged turnips, and that album was the living epitome of all that, for me.

On the plus side, I was impressed by the use of stereo and the evil duck laughing at the end.

However, I prefer real Pink Floyd. The one that sings about things that people could actually care about.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited
