Rather than rely on personal choices, I made another 2-disc compilation based on
James Guthrie's list of "also-rans" that were considered for Echoes but ultimately rejected (by the way, that page is a very interesting read, I highly recommend you visit it). I then shuffled the list in order to facilitate Echoes-like seagues and crossfades between tracks that I created myself. It's best to think of it as Echoes II... but I like to call it "Raving and Drooling: The Rest of Pink Floyd."
I also threw in some songs from Relics and Works ("Cirrus Minor", "The Nile Song", and "Free Four") to represent the soundtrack albums, which appear to have been overlooked entirely by the band (or perhaps there was a dispute about copyright and EMI didn't want to shell out the bucks to buy extra rights). Again, I would have picked them myself but I wanted to use ONLY the band's judgement and referring to previous compilations was the best way to do this. I also threw in Crumbling Land to have SOMETHING from the Zabriskie Point soundtrack, and Embryo and Biding My Time because they're on compilations and nowhere else.
So here it is:
-Disc One-
Speak To Me
Breathe
Interstellar Overdrive
Young Lust
The Nile Song
Embryo
Careful With That Axe, Eugene
Mother
Your Possible Pasts
Crumbling Land
Fearless
Fat Old Sun
The Gunner's Dream
Atom Heart Mother (Edited)

Paranoid Eyes

Biding My Time

Chapter 24
A Saucerful of Secrets
Brain Damage
Eclipse

I'm also working on a really cool CD case design which incorporates an image from the lyrics or album cover of each song, all PhotoShopped into one big collage.
