used to think this album was incredibly unique when i first heard it a few years ago. since then ive delved down pretty much all kinds of bands with diverse sounds from different eras, yet this album still retains an incredibly unique sound like no other. the little sounds in the background and the organ swelling in and out of the mix is just something u dont hear anywhere else really--and the structure and placement of the chorus is pretty strange too.

It's always mind blowing to me that Piper at the Gates of Dawn was being recorded next door to the Beatles recording Sgt Peppers at the same time, and they hung out quite a bit and listened to each other's stuff, being an influence on each other. No wonder those are two of the top 10 albums ever.

[@SuperNevile]

Syd's "arc" was interesting; his first love was art, he then drifted into music, being responsible for two era defining singles and an era defining album, then drifted back into art. It's amost a legendary tale.

[@CrazyHorse2505]

Don't forget both bands went to sit and listen to Ravi Shankar who was recording his album, Sounds of India in another studio next door. ;)

[@44elisdad]

And just a few months later Norman Smith would bring the Pretty Things (legend has it they stumbled upon Ravi's sitar in a closet and managed to get some decent sounds out it for their track Death) into the same studio to record SF Sorrow giving us three of the best albums to come out of the British psychedelic era. 1, 2, and 3 in that order IMHO...

I think Syd Barrett had the most unique style of guitar playing I’ve ever heard. During the break between the 2nd and 3rd verses he plays a few chords in a random, flippant way that doesn’t even stay in time and tempo, but he makes it sound fantastic! Ive been a guitarist for 40 + years and I wouldn’t be able to pull that off! 👍✌️🤘❤️

[@stevebeye1585]

If you listen to the guitar “leads” they sound like cat noises, moaning, meowing. And I think that the Bond style riff parts, are like a soundtrack of the cat, on its little cat missions. The scratching sounds, the maraca almost sounds like a cat tossing litter….
