I believe you are the first person in the world for whom it is truly difficult to deny that there was a commercial compromise (!) in delivering The Piper. Anyway, the evidence is in the previous comments of mine and Jim Morrison.

"On the contrary, they managed to combine commercial needs with compositional depth; there should be no misunderstandings about this." I'm sorry, but this is the definition of Dark side, not of piper. And I will repeat it until exhaustion, pulling out endless arguments.

So the fact that they sounded different in the studio compared to live doesn't mean a damn thing. Do you know how many bands stretch out their songs into improvisations because they like to do things live? In the studio, those are usually things you don't do. And anyway, they did the same with "Interstellar Overdrive." In "Piper," there's not a single song, not a single minute that is commercial.

"There they really did what they liked, the long improvisations, the delirious jams, not on Piper...". Come on, please, that's not true, it’s not consistent with what you’re saying. It would be like saying that Deep Purple in the studio played under constraints because they didn’t stretch 'Stormbringer' and 'Child in Time' for 20 minutes. You know? There’s a studio dimension and a live dimension for every band. For some bands, they coincide; for others, they don’t. So please, just enough.

And I will tell you more: this is considered by many connoisseurs to be the only true album of psychedelia. The only one. Because it disorients, it has no fixed patterns, the lyrics are a mix of dreamlike, surrealist, theatrical – in short, psychedelic. The artist's (Barrett's) very life merges with the definition of the genre. The arrangements are dreamy, the production and mixing of the sounds are nothing short of audacious. The guitar parts would leave a contemporary guitarist speechless, who has seen it all, let alone in 1967. You can easily tell me that the Beatles are commercial and made catchy tunes (even in their so-called psychedelic period), you can say that about Jefferson Airplane, the Doors, even Jimi Hendrix if you really want to. But to say that about this album is utter nonsense.

Find me a single review that places this album within the pop pot. Find it for me, damn it. It's so ugly when discussions online lead to a relativity of truth such that anyone feels compelled to say every single bullshit that comes to mind, just because it sounds original and contradictory.

But do you know what bike is about? What Matilda Mother is about? Well, it's precisely a song (perhaps the only one on the album along with arnold Layne, which you might have mistakenly thought were commercial) like this that utilizes the principles of 60s pop and reinterprets them, putting them on display, where the arrangements are something never seen or experimented with, for the musical culture of the time. Even the potentially most sellable song on this album is far from being commercial.

In my questionable (but I don't know how much, in this case) opinion, you’re talking nonsense. The Piper, an album with "interstellar overdrive," "lucifer sam," "astronomy domine," "scarecrow" (!!! have you heard it), "Power R Toc H" (!!!!!!). But have you read the lyrics of this album? Do you know how much this album sold at first? Do you know why this album is famous? Do you know for what Barrett's style is recognized and copied? Don’t take it the wrong way, but I believe you threw out that nonsense just out of a spirit of contradiction against Jim Morrison. An album with such lyrics and mixing, released in 1967, cannot be defined as commercial, not even by someone who knows the Pink Floyd by hearsay. So just imagine from you. You’ve got it wrong.

Well? Where is the review? It would have been great to comment on the steps of this powerful satire. You missed a great opportunity, the opportunity to speak up.
