When it comes to Floyd I find their material from the "early" years most satisfying.
From Piper up to and including DSOTM , would be their most adventurous, experimental, and artful.
For Simonizer,
Ummagumma was the first Floyd disc I listened to in 69, shortly after it's release, and I continued to purchase everything Floyd after that. I have to agree with GOS that yes , DSOTM becomes (for me and possibly others) a bit of an "Aural Exhaustion". I listened to this disc upon it's release and was astounded. Best thing I've ever heard ! But I have listened to the quad disc far too many times since 73, and that would include WYWH-stereo and quad.
So it's rare I listen to those two anymore and The Wall, again "Aural Exhaustion ".
@:
Animals (77),is also a unique, underrated Floyd disc I think, anyway.
That being said all those recording of Floyd's Piper to Animals are good to great, well worth getting. Hell, I would buy the box, but that price is too nuts for me.
Yesterday I gave 2 discs a bit of a first listen, not Floyd.
Gave XTC -Skylarking a bit of a listen, I think Dear God should have a bit more surround, the bonus tracks sound quite lively in surround.
-and disc one of Tales DVD-A, a bit overblown for Yes as I remembered from the past, great surround though. Would make excellent backround music for a movie, or ---rainy day music
Gotta listen to em somemore though, and now I have a stack of discs I must review.:sun
