Dark and brooding in parts, yes, Typhoon.

But there are also moments of shimmering light and beauty, of hope restored and flowering into joy. Like the clouds beginning to break after a storm, when the tiny rays of the sun begin to bring warmth once again...

There is a moment like this on "Echoes". It is very hard to describe...but it occurs at the end of the darkest, most haunting segment, when that Bm chord first begins to return...

One tiny note, one tiny chord...it makes all the difference in the world.

"Echoes" is one of the most masterful songs the Floyd has ever done--the best blend of talents ever.

No one is drowned out by any other--the lyrics are wonderful, but the music stands in its own right, beautiful and equally important. Every instrument can be heard for its own virtue, every Floydian's talent unified seamlessly into an incredible, beautiful whole.
