THE REVIEW
This time I don't care about the Why.
Today I don't care to know from Where.
I listen. The How is uneven & harmonic. It is dark with enthusiasm & it amuses me.
Who's afraid of the tiger?? Not me, who am a false thin person. Damned terrorist elephant. (Edward Lear on a senseless visit in Lucania!) "Effervescing Elephant"
Thank you, Syd, for the funny, humble, and anarchic diachrony of your singing. Arrhythmias announced on the cover. You drew it, didn't you?
I dance in honor of the "Gigolo Aunt". And it's really hard not to shake one's head.
I Trust in Syd. And what he sings now is mine. Of anyone who listens to him. Of anyone who is at peace enjoying the life that comes without harm. Without distress. "Dominoes"
I Fear Syd. "It Is Oblivious"

"It may not take ten listens to fully understand and appreciate it, but two or three at most could be enough."
"It deserves to be listened to, there are no doubts about this. And trust me, it will surprise you with the simplicity with which it will get inside you."

This is not just an album, this is a stream of consciousness, itâs a soliloquy.
Syd thrives in this mayhem of sounds, colors, lights and shadows like a goldfish in a glass bowl, he feels perfectly at ease.

I was among the dark craters of a Moon made of memories... the music from that dream... vanished.
A mad drift with no return! Listening on headphones is recommended, perhaps an old Sennheiser. Strictly for fans!

Barrettâs listless and tired voice matched perfectly with my physical and mental state, it dragged tiredly from song to song just as I dragged my wakefulness.
An ambiguous sense reigns over everything, which is perfectly rendered in 'It Is Obvious', which sums up the entire album.

"'Barrett' is a record wrapped in a kind of sleep, and the songs seem almost to struggle to come out."
"These are slow-motion songs... like flowers forever captured by a fossil."
