Rock / Psychedelic This 40th Anniversary box set offers three-discs of Syd Barrett and Co.'s
dementedly catchy and haunting psychedelia. The first two discs feature
the British release sequence in mono and stereo sound--both
remastered--while the third disc contains several outtakes and rare
singles. The real gems of the haul, the outtakes include alternate
versions of album classics such as "Matilda Mother" and "Interstellar
Overdrive" and the band's first three singles with B-sides: "Arnold
Layne," "Candy and a Currant Bun," "See Emily Play," "Apples and
Oranges," and "Paintbox." While many of the latter were released on
RELICS, these digital remasters outshine previous renderings.
When the Beatles recorded SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND in 1967, they
kicked a new band out of a neighboring studio to do some overdubs for
"Lovely Rita." The band was Pink Floyd and, while the Beatles were
polishing up what many consider to be the gold standard of British
psychedelia, Syd Barrett and Co. were already upending the young genre
with PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN. Produced by Norman Smith--the Beatles'
chief engineer in the early '60s--PIPER catapulted the British Invasion
into the cosmos. With an explosive spirit barely contained within pop's
dictates, the tracklist has an array of classics. Roger Waters's
sinister bass slinks beneath the aural lysergy of "Instellar Overdrive"
and "Lucifer Sam," while Rick Wright's organ drones envelop harmonic
whimsies like "Matilda Mother."
Ultimately, PIPER, the only Floyd record that seriously included him, belongs to
Barrett. Using the electric guitar as a textural dervish, turning pop
convention into shifting melodic quicksand, and introducing childlike
lyricism into the psychedelic lexicon (the album's name comes from his
favorite children's book, THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS), his voice and
songwriting astound. Indeed, Barrett's blown-mind cadences are as much a
symbol of psychedelia as Hendrix's strat or George Harrison's sitar.
His voice simply sounds like tripping, and captures all the ungraspable
beauty and fearful fragility of the experience. An extraordinary debut
record, PIPER remains Barrett's visionary statement of purpose.
