Syd Barrett- The Madcap Laughs



The Madcap Laughs 1970

I just recently got this album and have kind of fallen in love with it. A lot of it is kinda disjointed and strange, but thats what makes it great, otherwise it would be really simple. It's a reflection of what made Syd Barrett great, a mind for pop song writing that has fallen a bit off the normal axis. It's not dark and terrifying as it's reputation might imply.

It was recorded after Syd had left Pink Floyd, but was still in collaboration with Roger Waters and David Gillmore acting as part time producers. The album has a lot of great stuff on it, so I figured I'd share.
