- Pink Floyd leaders of the underground -

PINK FLOYD could be tomorrow's orchestra. They are one of our most experimental groups and they are the most successful.

At Croydon's Fairfield Hall on Sunday they proved their music has developed grace and beauty as well as the power it always had.

Bathed in pink spotlights, Floyd began with "Careful with That Axe, Eugene" with its long, ominous crescendo. Their crystal clear sound is cleverly controlled. They lifted the audience with near-hypnotic effects, built things up, and left everyone exasperated.

They performed "Embryo" for the first time in public, and made more of the film theme "More" than any other band.

They reverted to rock-blues with Rick Wright on trombone, for a down-to-earth jam. They played new compositions yet-to-be-titled, and an impromptu excursion through time.

Pink Floyd are the first four-man orchestra. Each musician is a different section, and their individual creations blend to form one, whole experience.
