The second and final album from this artist from Great Britain.
Syd Barrett did the guitar and vocals here.
He got help from a handful of guests who added drums, percussion, guitars, piano, organ, harmonium and tuba.
This is the follow-up album to the far more well-known The Madcap Laughs album. An album I reviewed last month in this blog.
The fate of Syd Barrett is one of the biggest tragedies in the history of modern music. A fate that robbed him and us of some great music.
Barrett is clocking in at forty minutes.
The music is psych rock. The music is a lot more electric than on The Madcap Laughs. The music is also more like proper compositions and the production is a lot tighter. David Gilmour have to take a lot of credit for this well produced album.
Syd Barrett's vocals are a lot better this time around. He was never a good vocalist but the vocals here are still pretty good.
The music here is surprisingly pretty good. I had some low expectations to this album based on The Madcap Laughs and these expectations have been exceeded.
This is a charming, pretty good album. Check it out.
