What to listen for in Pink Floyd’s isolated tracks
- David Gilmour’s guitar tone. Isolated, you can hear the sustain and delay that define his solos.
- Odd meters. Money is famously in 7/4 for most of the song.
- Space in the arrangement. Many parts are very simple on their own; the atmosphere comes from how they’re layered.
