This song is a wonderful >24 minutes psychedelic trip and reading lyrics on genius.com is missing out a lot

Especially that bit from about 7m30s when the camera starts tracking round, with the hypnotic bassline and distorted guitar.

I'll admit to previously having been a Pink Floyd sceptic, knowing them only from their mid-70s pomp which made me think they were a bit trite and overblown.

But, after experiencing it being screened on a loop in a chill-out room a couple of decades ago, this performance of Echoes changed my mind. I'm still not much of a fan of their post-Meddle work, but before that they were properly mind-blowing.
