THE REVIEW

I certainly won't say
how, where, why, and when

What I have to report
is better recited

They've returned to the market
these artists of history
with a tripled album
for 40 years of glory

This collector's box
you put it in the player
the tasting begins
and lasts for hours

If you listen to it, you won't think
that this circular disc
overwhelms all your senses
but it cost a fortune

Play, play, piper
while Waters and EMI
inflate the piggy bank
at the expense of us fools

But I don't feel like a fool,
I don't give a damn about money

This rock makes me happy
Praise to you, Crazy Diamond!

Pink Floyd

Pink Floyd formed in London in 1965 and became a defining force in psychedelic and progressive rock. The classic lineage spans Syd Barrett’s founding vision, Roger Waters’ conceptual leadership, Richard Wright’s harmonic textures, Nick Mason’s pulse, and David Gilmour’s arrival in 1968, shaping their signature sound.

 From the very first record, you can tell what they would do in the future, which is create a sound all their own.

 Excellent record, which deviates a bit from the typical Pink Floyd sound but is still a colossus in the history of music.


By zaireeka

 Written at the tip of LSD.

 One of those clocks, orphaned by the irreversible madness of Syd Barrett, was preserved by his old companions and made to chime once again at the start of Time.


By Moro1

 Only Barrett can explain the masterpiece he composed and wrote, and he does it through the stories of a king told in a mother’s fairy tale.

 He sang it almost 40 years ago and it is still the most beautiful of all.


By anthon

 "From these first seconds, the listener is transported into an otherworldly dimension, a dimension that characterizes much of the album."

 "Interstellar Overdrive represents the true innovation, in terms of harmonic-melodic physiognomy, of the album."


By AJAX

 The early Pink Floyd managed to synthesize into a unique and inimitable vision the impulses from West Coast acid rock, ... and the love for genuinely English fairy-tale elements.

 'The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn' captures both sides of the coin, marking a year when pop and the avant-garde went hand in hand.
