Meddle has six tracks, the last of which occupied a whole side of the original LP:
Though the tracks have variety of moods, Meddle is generally considered more cohesive than its 1970 predecessor Atom Heart Mother. The first two songs on Meddle segue into each other via a wind sound effect in a style reminiscent of later albums Dark Side of the Moon, and Wish You Were Here. Meddle also has the interesting distinction of having the two songs often nominated the worst and the best songs produced by Pink Floyd (these being "Seamus" and "Echoes" respectively). It had a good deal of commercial success; it reached #3 on the UK music charts and was certified double platinum by the US RIAA on March 11, 1994.
The final song of the album, "Echoes", is reputed to synchronise thematically with the final section of the 1968 Stanley Kubrick film entitled "Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite". "Echoes" also gave its name to a 2001 Pink Floyd compilation album, on which much- edited versions of it and "One of These Days" were included.
"One of These Days" uses a slide guitar and includes a snippet of the theme tune from Doctor Who.
