Animals is a difficult album. But he had no business writing 15-minute on-record epics. On later releases it was formally detached from Speak to Me and generally shortened to just Breathe but now and again styled Breathe (in the Air)., One of the more effective tracks on The Wall, a spooky and evocative foreshadowing of the full Another Brick in the Wall, which would of course become the albums centerpiece and a fluke hit single. One of the other things about Pink Floyd thats hard to process is that, while they could deliver odd pop and even rock songs with Syd Barrett, they were known on the London scene for their association with psychedelic freakout events, notably in a club called UFO, where the band would make weird sounds for hours at a time for the kids to groove to.

The verses, articulated by Waters, in one of the more restrained uses of his soft voice, are somewhat menacing, as poor Pink is lured once again into trouble. Shine on you crazy diamond You have to give Waters credit; six years after Money, hed crafted another of the most improbable classic singles of the era. Tucked in between the two (unnecessary) parts of A New Machine, this tepid instrumental could almost be on a Kenny G album, what with the dulcet dual saxophonal stylings of Tom Scott and John Helliwell.
