Post a Picture of What You're Listening To.

well of his 2(well 3 but we'll ignore Opel since it's not a true completed album) there's like a 50/50 split with Fans, the 2nd Barrett was more polished in production and more full band, The Madcap Laughs is much more raw and many accoustic songs, I mean literally raw though, there's 2-3 tracks where you can actually hear them talking between the sound booth and Syd, but it has that haunting kind of charm to it. Especially in between "she took a long cold look" and "feel", Feel is one of my favorite Syd solo songs for how haunting it is and "she took a.." ends with Syd going "that short? ahh................'Feel' take one" then a 10 second start before it begins.

Or the next song If It's in You, where Syd turns thinking into a 14 sylable word, Syd famously hated having to redo something twice and they stop after the first line and you can hear Gilmour faintly say something then Syd go "no, you know...it's just the fact of having to go through it again....i mean if we could just cut"

But aside from the insanity, there are charming songs like Octopus(one of the most bizzare lyrically yet awesome fun and warm songs ever) Terrapin, Love You, Here I go and such on it


One thing to really listen to though if you never heard Syd's solo stuff is listen to Dark Globe, it is haunting, they did 5 takes, each one got progressivly worse and the last one wound up on the album, then go find the first take that made it onto the Opel album with the name Wouldn't You Miss Me, Dark Globe is a horrible insight into a ravaged mind, Wouldn't You Miss Me is the exact same thing, but sane and horribly sad

 

if your a fan of chillout then this is definitely worth a look up
