Baby Lemonade is my favorite too, terminal pharmacy. Gigolo Aunt & Effervescing Elephant are standouts as well. As one can tell, I'm partial to Barrett.

In fairness to the masses, he was only around for 1.1 albums. I know of people that have never heard of Brian Jones, Peter Green, or even that didn't know Peter Gabriel was in Genesis.

I love this guy, The Madcap Laughs & Barrett are fucking great.
I also love the album with Pink Floyd : The Piper at the Gates if Dawn.

I bought an exclusive dvd a while back of original 8mm footage showing sid eating magic mushrooms in an english forest (late 60's) and then running around tripping and laughing. It lasts about half an hour and the video ends with him and the rest of the band outside the Abbey road studios in London getting ready to do recordings for Piper at the gates of dawn... I think. Very rare and intimate footage.

I love Syd Barrett but I love "Dark Side of the Moon", "Wish you were here" and "Animals" more. It does make you wonder how he feels about the whole Pink Floyd thing. I just hope he knows that he is so well loved and that is music will be timeless. There was always something missing in Pink Floyd After Syd left (not musically) they had a great composer and a great guitarist but it always seemed like they were missing a frontman. Syd always remained their phantom frontman even lyrically as most of the songs were about him in someway

Yeah I started a thread about No Man's Land being the first British studio 'noise rock' track. It didn't go down too well, though no one stated any convincing earlier tracks. It is utterly wonderful, I've heard some early demos where the feedback was far higher in the mix, shame it was lower in the final cut, but it's still incredible. I love the way the last verse is completely incomprehensible over all that noisy goodness. Madcap's second best track, beaten only marginally by Here I Go. |

hmmmm, perhaps, but I've always thought of it as an experimental peice which layers several elements in no structure. Love it as I do, it doesn't really reach noise territory on any of the recordings I've heard.

If we're going to look at Pink Floyd tracks, I personally think Vegetable Man is a pretty noisy affair for what it is. But that could be because the recording is very poor...

Syd is the best. Piper is probably my favorite albums. actually its tied with the 2nd VU record for favorite album.
When he was in Floyd, they where different. when he left they became boring and uninteresting. RIP Syd |
