Released: 1968
A Saucerful of Secrets
by Pink Floyd
The 2011th greatest album of all time
A Saucerful of Secrets, Pink Floyd's 1968 second studio album, captures the band's shift from Syd Barrett's concise psychedelic pop toward more atmospheric and experimental compositions; it blends psychedelic, early progressive and space rock elements, features the title instrumental suite and tracks such as "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" and "Jugband Blues", and is the first album to include David Gilmour alongside Barrett as the group moved toward more textural, art rock writing.
