Interesting to see no songs from The Lamb received more than one vote. In fact, I believe I was the only person among the participants who actually selected any songs off that album (I had two of them in my Top 10, early on).
No, I think Blacksword also cast a vote for the Lamb. But he was the countryman to your townman and split the vote with 'Chamber of 32 Doors'
Depending on how much time you have on your hands, you could always edit Fly On A Windshield together with Broadway Of 1974 on Audacity. That way you have one damn fine piece of music of a decent length. And Hairless Heart can easily be extended using the same software so that it doesn't end so soon - of course, what it really needed was a guitar solo...
The only editing I'd need to do would be to remove that irritating half second gap between the two tracks. Bugs the hell out of me why they had to chop it up like that. Same gripe about the way Home By The Sea is unnecessarily divided. Floyd have no problems letting stuff flow together on Dark Side etc. To the extent that I don't even really know the tracklisting - it's just one piece of music. Ditto The Wall.

There's no gap between the two tracks is there? I agree that The Lamb is one complete listening experience, just like The Wall

No there is a gap - between every track on the album. That's what annoys me. Not that I care about much of the material anyway.

There aren't supposed to be gaps. It sounds like there's an issue with your copy, or something.

Yeah, you're right - it could well be that, given the means by which my recording was.. ahem.. procured. Dumb of me not to realise.
Yeah that's definitely not a widespread issue on official releases... Having gaps between every track would really muck up the Lamb listening experience! (Ditto Home by the Sea)
Well, those of us who bought the albums by the band have never experienced those gaps. If people want to download dodgy MP3s off the internet, though, I doubt they care much about music in the first place.
Good to see Motherlode getting some love
For a dreamy ten-year-old listening when it came out as I was, outstanding song for me, that bit between 3:36 and 3:42 just has to be turned up loud and then the finale bursts into life, if there's a song poll on here for ATTWT then Motherlode would be my first choice (and FYFM the very last - I have always thought it a bit of a fish out of water on the album).

Now that you know the answer to that split second gap you’ve complained about in numerous posts you need to go out and buy yourself an original copy.
I’ll lmao if you do! 😂😂😂

I started playing the video you posted with the intention of skipping ahead to check the bit you meant, but as soon as it started I couldn't bring myself to skip and just had to listen to the whole thing. Gosh what a great track. And you are dead right by the way about that bit.

A magical song, best track on the album for me. Wonderfully constructed, it has both subtelty and power. I think my top ten is probably a bit wishy-washy to some but as we know it's each to their own, - on another day The Musical Box might appear in the ten!

2. Squonk
3. The Cinema Show
4. Deep in the Motherlode
5. Blood on the Rooftops
6. Man of Our Times

10. Dusk
