Pink Floyd – Point Me At the Sky

To tie in with our two-part interview with Andy Bracken of Fruits de Mer Records (part one of which can be found right, ruddy here), here’s one of the songs that’s been covered on the forthcoming Fruits venture into 12″ albumdom, A Phase We’re Going Through (more on, next week).

A Pink Floyd rarity of sorts, ‘Point Me At the Sky’ was the band’s fifth UK single, released in December 1968. A poor showing in the charts meant Pink Floyd didn’t release another UK single until 1979′s ‘Another Brick in the Wall’, by which time their sound had changed somewhat considerably.

Written by Roger Waters and David Gilmour, ‘Point Me At the Sky’ places us firmly in post-Barrett territory, though the futuristic lyrics shimmering effortlessly across the heavy psych hark back to the Madcap’s style.

I’ve heard the Geese cover on A Phase We’re Going Through and its a corker. However, until the June release here’s the original. Top stuff!
