A SAUCERFUL OF SECRETS

Very interesting Floyd album. Barrett was already out of the band before they even started writing this album. But the band was still highly influenced by syd's writing and style. This was the first time that Waters and Wright (especially) started writing. For the most part the songs are ok. The highlight of the album for me is Corporal Clegg which is a favorite in my PF library. Saucerful of secrets is a pretty interesting song that is in four different parts. Jugband Blues is obviously the only song with Syd on it and it's what people call his "farewell song". Besides that the songs are relatively good considering the fact that they never written songs before. But to think that in less then two years of this release that they would think up and record the Atom Heart Mother Suite is pretty unbelievable in my opinion.
