i forgot to list this as an influence on a track of the day from a few days ago. it's sort of glaring, as the track in question is actually very much a post-punk reworking of the end riff of this. it's a simple riff, but it was always a lot of fun to play.
echoes - and the idea of the side-long track, in general - was also a big influence on the longer pieces (i call them 'symphonies', with tongue somewhat in cheek), going forwards. the merging of blues riffs into larger, quasi-symphonic and sort of electro-experimental pieces is something more specific that i do fairly often, and that stems directly to floyd.
(relevant tracks: idiotic, all symphonies)
