The 1967 recorded first Pink Floyd entry back in the heady days when the almighty Syd Barret flew the storied Pink Floyd deliciously upside down...."lime and limpid green, a second scene, a fight between the blue...."
The first Pink Floyd entry back in the heady days when the almighty Syd Barret flew the storied Pink Floyd deliciously upside down...."lime and limpid green, a second scene, a fight between the blue...."
Syd's influences included The Stones, Beatles, Byrds and Love. A song from the debut Love album went on to inspire the chord pattern for 'Interstellar Overdrive'. Syd wrote virtually the entire 'Piper At The Gates Of Dawn Album', but within 12 months he'd be out of Pink Floyd, and 'out of it' altogether, to all intents and purposes. Syd was the undisputed creative leader of Pink Floyd for their early clutch of singles, and this, the only full album he'd participate in for the group. Who knows what went on in the mind of Syd Barrett? What makes this one of the finest Psychedelic albums of all of time is that Syd had different thought patterns, he did things differently. The way he played guitar was different, the way he sang was different ( resolutely English ) and his lyrics were certainly not something heard before. Nursery rhyme lyrics almost, but very striking, not Rock n Roll lyrics as such. Syd took too many drugs, but the drugs wore him down, ripped him apart.
The title of PINK FLOYD's debut album is taken from a chapter in SYD BARRETT's favorite children's book, The Wind in the Willows, and the lyrical imagery of THE PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN is indeed full of colorful, childlike, distinctly British whimsy, albeit filtered through the perceptive lens of LSD. BARRETT's catchy, melodic acid pop songs are balanced with longer, more experimental pieces showcasing the group's instrumental freak-outs, often using themes of space travel as metaphors for hallucinogenic experiences -- "Astronomy Domine" is a poppier number in this vein, but tracks like "Interstellar Overdrive" are some of the earliest forays into what has been tagged space rock. But even though BARRETT's lyrics and melodies are mostly playful and humorous, the band's music doesn't always bear out those sentiments -- in addition to RICK WRIGHT's eerie organ work, dissonance, chromaticism, weird noises, and vocal sound effects are all employed at various instances, giving the impression of chaos and confusion lurking beneath the bright surface. THE PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN successfully captures both sides of psychedelic experimentation -- the pleasures of expanding one's mind and perception, and an underlying threat of mental disorder and even lunacy; this duality makes Piper all the more compelling in light of Barrett's subsequent breakdown, and ranks it as one of the best psychedelic albums of all time.
