THE PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN

I discovered "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" after a long process... At first, I bought the album Ummagumma on CD after I listened my father's record and found it really weird and intriguing. I wanted to discover that face of this famous band. The live version of Astronomy Domine retained my attention and I was just learning Syd Barrett's style of music. I bought "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" and found a real treasure of the 60s. This is a real masterpiece of Psychedelic/Acid music. It is the dawn of Pink Floyd and Progressive Music in general. In the same way than some Beatles' albums like "Magical Mystery Tour" or "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", the lyrics and the melodies of the songs of The Piper are simples, childish and random. The song "Interstellar Overdrive" is particularly interesting. It is a kind of big instrumental jam with many chaotic solos. It well represents the Underground movement in England during the sixties. For every fans of Pink Floyd, Psychedelic rock or simply music I recommend you that masterpiece witch is the result of Syd Barrett's genus.
