Wow! I'll be the first here? First of all, this is one of the most evil downward chord progressions in the verse ever written, even by Floyd standards. I think NW3 ranks up there with the song "Black Sabbath" in terms of pure evil menace, even as it came before "Black Sabbath". Again, Pink Floyd on the cutting edge. The song was conceived, written, and entirely played by Dave without any of the rest of the band in the studio. He even played drums. Lyrically, it's mysterious, but creepy, druggy, and, well...weird. This was just what Floyd was succeeding at at the time. "Ummagumma" is just a weird album and that's the highest praise I can give it. But this particular piece is so completely acid-drenched, but it's having a bad trip...is that good when it's Floyd?
@fnordatpanix.... I've loved this song since the album was released !! and have tripped to it many times...never had a bummer yet !!!...lol, but thee best is "Obscured By Clouds" !!!...I give it a 10 !!!!
