"A Saucerful of Secrets" is a multi-part instrumental composition by English rock band Pink Floyd from their 1968 album of the same name.
"A Saucerful of Secrets" was titled "The Massed Gadgets of Hercules" in its earliest performance and became a Pink Floyd live staple from 1968 to 1972.
[4] The track was composed by Roger Waters drawing diagrams on a piece of paper explaining how the music should progress.
For the "Syncopated Pandemonium" section, Richard Wright usually played his Farfisa organ instead of pounding the keys on a grand piano with his fists as on the studio recording (the version on Pompeii being an exception) and Roger would smash on a gong.
The "Celestial Voices" section started with just organ as per the studio version, but the band gradually added drums, bass, guitar, and wordless vocals provided by David Gilmour.
