One day my dad was at home and a package from Amazon arrived home. He handed it to me. It was really odd and out of nowhere since it wasn’t Christmas or my birthday or anything special. I opened it and it was a vinyl of this masterpiece album. Thank u dad I love u.

[TexturaI]

One time I woke up to this in the middle of the night with headphones on and it was really an experience. Half-awake with alien sounding stuff is no joke lol

[bored_person]

This track is so ahead of its time. It reminds me a lot of modern film scores.

[AmineElBour]

Don't worry, you are not the only one who's listening to this masterpiece

[jerrymarlow]

I'll never forget buying this album for the first time in the 70s. A timeless masterpiece. Love this track.

[getch]

I bought this album for my birthday on April 4th 1973, BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER ! ! !❤

[sundarmann]

1973! Never listened to another album with such masterclass, since!

[PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

By far one of my favourite Pink Floyd tracks 🌈

[juniperbreeze]

No one can do make music like this anymore! I am so glad i was born in an era where music could transport you to another world! Pink Floyd fan for life!❤❤❤

[davidhemphill]

I listened to this while speed-walking to my connecting flight a few months ago. An experience I'll never forget. Made to my gate just in Time. 😉

This deals with the pressures of travel, which Rick Wright said would often bring fear of death.

The lead instrument being a synthesizer, “On The Run” (1973) is considered one of the earliest pieces of Techno Music. The keyboard that plays from beginning to end is only 5 notes being repeated at high speed.

When Pink Floyd performed this in concert, a model airplane ✈️ would fly from one end of the venue to the other, crashing in a brilliant explosion.

At about 25 seconds into the song, there is the sound of a voice on a loudspeaker : some believe it to be an “airport voice” calling notices to travellers. 🩷✈️🩷

[catwrench]

In my opinion this song was the beginning of the "electronic" music genre. I think that Pink Floyd has been a huge inspiration to some very big name DJ'S and producers.

[mnc]

The Black Phone used this so brilliantly

[frostrussel]

Sitting awake at 4 am with this playing on a speaker while blitzed out of your mind is the only way to live

[LucasAlmeida-dzxh]

I don’t suffer from schizophrenia, but this song reminds me of psychosis. The distortion and terror, the feeling of being watched and even chased, and the anxiety

[juangomez]

I heard this a few minutes ago while I was on my way to pick my brother up from work. It’s very dark and cold out and I was the only car on the road and this song started playing and it almost felt as if I was driving into outer space or something. It was an amazing experience I must say!

[joeygouda]

I remember driving around downtown Pittsburgh, BUMPIN THIS WHOLE ALBUM, I CAN PLAY ALOT THIS PF ON GUITAR

[guy]

From ~0:59 to ~3:01 . . . the "beating heart" in the background . . . . . 💓🎶💓🎶💓🎶💓

[lukebingus]

This is the track that i always felt the most entranced by, and completely made me fall in love with Synthesizers, especially the Sequencer. It is so simple yet effective, just the coolest sounding instruments

[marshallarnold-epnn]

And now, for tonight's starting lineups. First for the visiting..
