}} "A Saucerful of Secrets" is a multi-part instrumental composition by progressive rock band Pink Floyd from their 1968 album of the same name. It is nearly 12 minutes long and was composed by Roger Waters, Richard Wright, Nick Mason and David Gilmour. The track is an experimental, avant-garde piece featuring guitar feedback, a percussion solo section and wordless vocals. ==Background== "A Saucerful of Secrets" was titled "The Massed Gadgets of Hercules" in its earliest performance and became a Pink Floyd live staple from 1968–72. A live version of the track is available on their 1969 double album ''Ummagumma'', and an alternative version is seen and heard in the film ''Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii'',〔Povey 2007, p. 174〕 which was performed at director Adrian Maben's request as he thought it would be a good addition to the film. Live performances of the song differed significantly from the studio version. The closely miked cymbal sound that starts the piece was instead performed as a two-note drone on the bass. For the "Syncopated Pandemonium" section, Richard Wright usually had to be content with playing his Farfisa organ instead of pounding a grand piano with his fists as on the studio recording (the version on ''Pompeii'' being a notable exception). The "Celestial Voices" section started with just organ as per the studio version, but gradually added drums, bass, guitar and wordless vocals, provided by David Gilmour. The Japanese release of this song was simply titled , which translates as "Mystery". The album ''A Saucerful of Secrets'', itself, also carried this title. The song was Gilmour's first songwriting credit with Pink Floyd. On the original vinyl, and early CD issues, his name was misspelled as "Gilmore".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Images )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Images )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Images )〕 This was corrected with the remastered version released in 1994.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Images )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「A Saucerful of Secrets (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
