Torrent: Yeeshkul (http://yeeshkul.com/forum/showthread....) From Collectors Music Review: (https://www.collectorsmusicreviews.co...) A lengthy review in Sounds states: “From the word go, they gave the packed stadium a faultless demonstration of what psychedelic music is all about. There wasn’t a note, or a sound, out of place during the whole evening…For starters, on Saturday, we had that lengthy work entitled ‘Dark Side Of the Moon,’ and eerie title for an equally eerie piece of music that takes the listener through a host of different moods, most of which are accompanied by unusual sounds stretching around his head by way of the group’s quadraphonic sound system. “The second half of the recital was composed of three more major pieces, and a couple of encores. The first – the riveting ‘Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun’ – was obviously rehearsed, but the second – a bluesy jam – wasn’t. It served a useful purpose to show that the group are not confined to playing science fiction soundtrack music all the time. The incendiary gimmicks from the stage frequently obliterated the artists. Flash-bombs erupted here and there at well timed places, and Roger Waters gong actually became a blazing sun during ‘Set The Controls.’ All the time the group were effectively illuminated by their imposing lighting tower at the rear of the stage which served a dual purpose – at frequent intervals it belched out smoke which mingled with the colored lights and the dry ice surface mist to effectively whisk us all away to Planet Floyd.”
