The second and final jewel of the legendary Syd Barrett had the pleasure of offering.
While it is certainly different from an album The Madcap Laugh s , despite being released seven months later possesses indisputable essence, that air psychedelic at once so bright that chaotic.
The main difference with the previous work is in its development, ie, while The Madcap Laugh s is spontaneous, pure and devoid of too many arrangements, Barrett is a hard care, worked and with higher quality instruments.
Totally discreet in terms of sales (how could it be otherwise) has been left to the memory of many, like myself, consider it an essential work not only within small Syd discography but also for the acid rock genre.
We can not forget the cover. A cover that adventure a stranger lp, authentic and honest.
An album that many consider to close earlier as a simple sketch, but after they heard us very pleasantly surprised.
structure of the work:
- Baby Lemonde. A real gem of the best compositions of its author. It is a soft ballad accompanied by a high-quality instrumentation (David Gilmour and Rick Wright). The soft sound at the beginning of the piece and its subsequent decline to the tune bring some mystery, which will break into the second 40, when the whole group comes into play. Perfect for the beginning of the record because we will look forward to unveiling the next song.
- Love song. A delight. Perfect for depressive moods. The bass work is excellent along the gentle piano and rhythm guitar. Amorous and charming, certainly lives up to its title.
- Dominoes. Strange, Syd Barrett returns to show his darker side. His more gloomy intimately composed a letter last though somewhat abstract. Draws attention as Barret includes the recording of a guitar upside down, a technique used by many contemporary bands of its time.
- It Is Obvious. In It Is Obvious there is a return to the origins of the disc. Stresses Rick Wright's keyboard much like that used by the same musician on the album Atom Heart Mother and A Saucerful of Secrets . Beautiful and fun.
- Rats. Fully remind us the previous work The Madcap Laugh s. The battery is trying by all means catch the rhythm of electrical tap Barrett while creating some very experimental music game so that the listener gets to experience the very cadence.
- Maisie. Barrett is not intended to give a lesson in blues with this song, just include it in his pioneering work keeping in mind the origins of his style. Good work on.
- Gigolo Aunt. A masterpiece. Personally I consider it one of the best compositions of Syd. Brilliant in every way. Psychedelia is present from beginning to end. His poetry and sensations tangled transmitted to be heard makes it a timeless work.
- Waving My Arms In The Air. We are clearly in the best fraction of the lp. If you already left us wondering now Gigolo Aunt Waving My Arms In The Air we rise to the top of the senses. Deserves to be heard on moments of reflection or evasion.
- I Never Lied to You. Continued Waving My Arms in the Air. This succession TECINA used both Pink Floyd (his former band) is unusual on the contrary Barrett.
- Wined and Dined. Deep, there's something about her that makes him a mysterious song. It is used for the first time effects of guitars and keyboards providing an air envelope synthesized
- Wolfpack. Just when we thought the sound had evolved back to the origins and therefore the genuine purity of Syd. The voice depressive melody revolves around a bit.
- Effervescing Elephant. Finally, in the wake of Wolfpack comes Effervescing elegant Elephant song that marks the end of the disc. We remember songs like bike. A good outcome for a hard copy.
Many discs, despite having an exceptional quality have been admired. Barrett transited from going completely unnoticed stores hidden perhaps for other bands like The Beatles or Pink Floyd. Barrett anyway does not deserve to be forgotten, because their compositions are enigmatic the best example of psychedelia that has been and will be throughout history.
