The most artisticaly unique Album ever made...Its expressionism in music

[@gelubatir9794]

Syd Barrett -- The Madcap Laughs - From Wikipedia- - The Madcap Laughs is the debut solo album by the English singer-songwriter Syd Barrett. It was recorded after Barrett had left Pink Floyd in April 1968. The album had a lengthy recording history, with work beginning in May 1968, but the bulk of the sessions taking place between April and July 1969, for which five different producers were credited − including Barrett, Peter Jenner (1968 sessions), Malcolm Jones (early-to-mid-1969 sessions), and fellow Pink Floyd members David Gilmour and Roger Waters (mid-1969 sessions). Among the guest musicians are Willie Wilson from Gilmour's old band Jokers Wild and several members of Soft Machine. The Madcap Laughs, released in January 1970 on Harvest in the UK but not released in the US until 1974, enjoyed minimal commercial success on release, reaching number 40 on the UK's official albums chart. It was re-released in 1974 as part of Syd Barrett (which contained The Madcap Laughs and Barrett), which saw the first US issue of the two LPs. The album was remastered and reissued in 1993, along with Barrett's other albums, Barrett (1970) and Opel (1988), independently and as part of the Crazy Diamond box set. A newly remastered version was released in 2010. Background In the second half of 1967 and through to early 1968, when still part of Pink Floyd, Barrett's behaviour became increasingly erratic and unpredictable.Many report having seen him on stage with the group during this period, strumming on one chord through an entire concert or not playing at all.[In August 1967, Pink Floyd were forced to cancel their appearance at the prestigious National Jazz and Blues Festival, informing the music press that Barrett was suffering from nervous exhaustion. Band manager Peter Jenner and bassist Roger Waters arranged for Barrett to see a psychiatrist (an appointment he failed to attend), while a stay on the Spanish island of Formentera with Sam Hutt, a doctor well established in the underground music scene, led to no visible improvement in Barrett's behaviour. A few dates in September were followed by the band's first tour of the United States. At this point, Barrett's condition grew steadily worse.At a show at The Fillmore in San Francisco, during a performance of "Interstellar Overdrive", Barrett slowly detuned his guitar; the audience seemed to enjoy such antics, unaware of the rest of the band's consternation. Sometime in October, Jenner transferred tapes of "In the Beechwoods", two takes of "Vegetable Man", and a 5-minute backing track called "No Title", which Jenner hoped Barrett would finish eventually. Around Christmas 1967, guitarist David Gilmour, an old friend of Barrett's from Cambridge, was asked by the other members of Pink Floyd to join as a second guitarist,[ initially not to replace Barrett, but cover for him, because his unpredictable behaviour prevented him from performing. For several shows Gilmour sang and played guitar while Barrett wandered around on stage, every now and then deciding to join in playing guitar and singing. Waters and fellow band members keyboardist Richard Wright and drummer Nick Mason soon grew weary of Barrett's on-stage antics and, on 26 January 1968, when Waters was driving his bandmates from London to a show at Southampton University, they all agreed to go without Barrett: according to Gilmour's recollection, one person asked, "Shall we pick Syd up?" and another said, "Let's not bother." Since Barrett had written or co-written 10 of the 11 songs on their debut album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, as well as the band's three singles up to this point, the original plan was to keep him in the group as a non-touring member − in a similar arrangement to what The Beach Boys had done with Brian Wilson − but this soon proved to be unworkable. At his last rehearsal with the band, he presented a new song entitled "Have You Got It Yet?", which proved to be deliberately unplayable as the others attempted to join in, until they realised the joke of the title. On 6 April, the group officially announced that Barrett was no longer a member of Pink Floyd. Upon leaving the band, Barrett said to Melody Maker: "I suppose it was really just a matter of being a little offhand about things".- - Track listing All songs written by Syd Barrett, except "Golden Hair" (music by Barrett, based on a poem by James Joyce).

Excellent time of year to listen to Syd Barrett...here in the tropics the rains are torrential, full of lightning, all abundance and the spores of psilocybe are in the air 🍄🔮🧙🏾‍♂️🖤

[@philippecirse4872]

C'était les offres de cet ancien monde sauvage > vivre, partager, s'occuper, s'amuser et vivre ensemble. Malheureusement, nous avons été tellement concentrés sur le changement d'époque que nous n'avons pas eu le temps ni la conscience de nous organiser mais l'esprit est toujours là 💃👯

[@RicardoSiqueira-b7r]

Valeu Syd Barrett, obrigado!

[@alexvernon7456]

Happy Xmas, thank you xx

[@felixke497]

Hace 8 años que conocí al loco Syd y me voló la cabeza, ahora tengo la grata sorpresa de escucharlo en estas fechas, me trae un montón de recuerdos.

[@おっぺけけーいち]

ピンクフロイドの1stアルバムが全世界で高い評価を受けているのはもちろん理解できるんですが、 個人的にはシドバレットの2枚のアルバムの方が好きです このアルバムも、2枚目のバレットも、両方とも他の誰の音楽にも似ていないオリジナリティがあって、私にとって宝物のように大切な作品です

[@naitianquia1673]

Merry Christmas! Sweet morning with Strange Syd candy

[@niteflights1947]

Love this album ♥️ Thank you 🎄

[@JacobSernaGarciaHog188]

He may not be here, but his legacy lives forever

[@_Ramen-Vac_]

I introduced so many friends to Syd's genius and they still sometimes contact me just to tell me. . . to thank me for the gift with the 'new' that never wears off. I never call The Pink Floyd or Barrett psychedelic, ~from Piper thru The Final Cut they're Bluesy folk rock from space and Pepperland. The Wind in the Willows and too in the bellows and so forth forevermore.

[@jimihendrix6969]

Merry Christmas, there's only one Syd Barrett.

[@suikogarden]

Thank you very much for this gift. Happy Holidays to the Barrett family!

[@pjamdragon1]

ultra mellow groove

[@paulkraynak5604]

The opening track has always bewildered me - The clicking of the pick on the strings is more percussive than anything, the chords themselves are barely audible. I imagine it's a mic'd tele.

[@Happy-v9r]

I can get it,...

ahhh syd (acid)

[@roywilding3039]

I can't wait for AI to get the chops into this album and turn it into a pink Floyd production, people will realise where the original talent lay.
