A tune that is far better live than on the Studio album. The final passage is a thing of beauty. It was a privilege to see Nick Mason play it with his band last year.
Richard wrights playing on celestial voices is fantastic,not sure hammond/farfisa organ.Even the great ennio morricone would loved to penned this gem.💎💎💎
I always think of utter chaos morphing into beauty, or the birth of the Universe from the chaos of the big bang to a more stable state, transient oscillations to stability.
I'm so glad you reacted to this video it's my all-time favorite I think this was Pink Floyd's way I'm giving all the people that died during that tragic eruption a Memorial. Chaotic in the beginning and then beautiful at the end
Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun apparently inspired Douglas Adams - a friend of Floyd - to alter the ending of the Hitch Hikers guide first series . Originally, they nicked a ship belonging to a shape shifter but Adams changed the BBC TV version to a stage prop fired through a star as part of an exotic light show by the loudest band in the galaxy - 'Disaster Area'. Appropriate name for Floyd as they were going through the famous bust-up at the time. Adams played guitar with Floyd on stage during one of the 1994 Pulse gigs on his 42nd birthday, a number important to HHG fans. Gilmour played at what would have been Adams 60th birthday.
Thank you for doing this and I am glad you liked it. Although Pink Floyd's earlier instrumental work can be interpreted in any way according to the listener, your interpretation is spot on. In an interview long after it was released Roger Waters explained that this track was about a battle: it actually consists of four parts, the rising tension at the beginning is the prelude, leading to the chaos of the battle itself, followed by the discovery of loss of the fallen and the final mourning of the dead. Excellent reaction!
Then, Roger Waters has to explain how it's about a battle if it's called 'A Saucerful Of Secrets'... and considering that there's no lyrics and the only thing we have is its title I believe that it's all about a space trip, starting by the lift off, the engines pushing the ship through the space and finally setting a peaceful course... the battle thing may be suggested by the images of the film, but this is the cut made some years ago, not the original. In the original film there's no images of buildings being crashed by bombs, I don't know why they put this footage of what it seems 2nd WW, but it's not related with the title of the song
@@JulioLeonFandinho Floyd's instrumental work was not meant to have one specific meaning. Waters explanation was how the band conceived it while they were composing it, not a defining take on what it meant.
Great album, please do "Obscured by Clouds", it was made for a film around the same time as Dark Side. I truely believe you will,enjoy the flow and ingenuity in it. Love this reaction as well great work sir.
Personally I've never believed that "war"-themed "programme music" explanation of the piece. That's the uptight middle-class side of Floyd showing through - the fact they had to come up with a post-facto "rationale" for it. Anyone steeped in Floyd will recognise the atonal half (styled as parts 1 to 3) as a semi-improvised vehicle for some tones and riffs which they'd been toying with since the Barrett days. The final form of the piece was famously plotted out in the studio using architectural graphics instead of musical notation. What was "inspiring" it? Well, my theory is,. this was the era when both electronic-age "modern classical" music a la Stockhausen, and more importantly capital-I "Improvised Music" were relatively accessible to the public and relatively well-understood, with people like McCartney and King Crimson making contact with improvisers like AMM and the whole Derek Bailey/John Stevens circle. The members of Floyd absorbed this - and the influence issued forth in pieces like this.
@@royc998 Never tried it myself, but my friend says it's fun. A bit like the old chestnut of fitting Dark Side of the Moon to the Wizard of Oz (funny on YT somewhere). Also someone has put the last 20 mins or so of 2001 to Floyd's Echoes :-)

So glad u did this glad your going back to pink floyd
I always think of utter chaos morphing into beauty, or the birth of the Universe from the chaos of the big bang to a more stable state, transient oscillations to stability.
An early pink floyd masterpiece, both the studio version and live - especially live. Happy you checked this out!
Fabuloso
Perfecta evolución del caos a la armonía, de la sombra a la luz, con Gilmour cantando como ángel de cierre... una verdadera joya!! 🖤

Controlled madness, its quiet wonderful. Nice reaction👍
I loved reaction, this is a work of art for Beethoven and Mozart.
Very thoughtful chap - I like your style!

Great reaction and interpretation. This song in particular works very well with the pompei footage

It would be good if you listened to Yes, Relayer the first track is about war/battle, Gates of delirium.
A friend of mine says that if you time it well, Gates of Delirium fits in with the Death star battle in the original Star Wars movie.
@@CaptainNemo1701 that sounds interesting, I can imagine it working well.

This song is amazing but who cares about your reaction, really?
Obviously not you. So why watch the vid?
