Through their long history, Pink Floyd moved through psychedelia, prog-rock, space-rock, and more, emerging as pioneers in all of those styles. This two-disc compilation takes on the formidable task of creating a definitive Floyd collection. Though there`s no chronological running order to give a sense of the group`s development, there are plenty of key tracks from all the eras of Pink Floyd`s career. We`re given a healthy dose of material from the band`s psychedelic `60s period, when they were spearheaded by the ultimate acid-damaged genius Syd Barrett (the loopy "Bike," the otherworldly "Astronomy Domine"). The most overtly progressive tendencies of `70s Floyd are aired on the glorious epic "Echoes," whose suite-like construction shows off both the band`s technical facility and orchestration skills.
Naturally, there are some cuts from the band`s watershed album DARK SIDE OF THE MOON, one of the best-selling LPs of all time (the gospel-tinged "The Great Gig in the Sky," the near-funky capitalist plaint "Money"). Hardcore Floyd fans might object to the number of songs from the post-Roger Waters era, but even these less-celebrated tunes work in the overall historical context. While it`s easy to quibble about the absence of various Floyd favorites (no "Interstellar Overdrive?"), there`s so much crucial music on this collection that it`s impossible to come away from it without a strong sense of what Pink Floyd such an important band.
