A temporary reason dropouts

After double-Best of CD "Echoes" Ten years ago, now the next Pink Floyd sampler with the new remasters of 2011. The question is whether this will work on a single CD at all, and I do not mean the discussion, if Pink Floyd songs work out of context (which they do, not least because a few songs from "Dark Side of the Moon", "Wish You Were Here" and "The Wall" were left in their original order, you should also then yes at any live concert individual songs from albums to play), but the song selection in view of material wealth:

From "a momentary lapse of reason" and "The Division Bell" has managed only one song and even one with Syd Barrett, okay. The classic albums (see above) are sufficiently represented. But nothing of it of "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn", "A Saucerful Of Secrets", "Meddle" or "Animals"! And what does The Fletcher Memorial Home (from "The Final Cut") lost again on a Floyd sampler? It would be about time for the single Not now John, showing the tape of their rockier side.

Prima, I find that this time Have a Cigar, Brain Damage and Eclipse are. But: What is a best-of compilation of Pink Floyd without songs like Arnold Layne, Astronomy Domine, One of These Days, Echoes, Us and Them, Sheep or Mother?

It has been here only a few of these fabricated artificial song transitions that have bothered me at "Echoes"; these are a few but get plenty of amateurish, eg between Shine On You Crazy Diamond and Brain Damage or if at the end of the first Money resonate organ sounds of Us and Them - only to be hidden and to switch abruptly in Comfortably Numb!

That for reasons of space again some songs (Wish You Were Here, The Great Gig in the Sky, High Hopes, Shine On You Crazy Diamond) were slightly tightened, does not hurt as much as the fact that the ticking clock in the intro of Time cut off were. Yes you go for? Well, the CD is 79:39 minutes of playing time to the brim - but that's amputation. (At least they have not left the ringing cash registers at the beginning of Money in it!)

16 songs from 28 years, a lean, informationless Booklet: This CD is really no more than "a foot in the door". Newcomers are better off with "Echoes", because it contains more extensive and better equipped and essential songs that are missing here. And sonically I like it anyway better than most of what appeared on CD in 2001 by Pink Floyd - these new remasters included.
