| Syd Barrett (Keith Roger Barrett) founded the Pink Floyd with Roger Waters, Nick Mason and Richard Wright in 1965. In 1967 the Pink Floyd relased the album with the strange psychedelic name "The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn". | ||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||
| The album contained new sounds for that years, like in the songs "Astronomy Domine", "Interstellar Overdrive", "Matilda Mother", "The Gnome". | ||||||||||||||||
| Syd invented a new kind of psychedelia that nobody before the relase of "The Piper" had ever done. After 1967, with the Pink Floyd, he made a bunch of 45s. |

| The most important EPs were "Arnold Lane", "See Emily Play" and "Scream Thy Last Scream". "Jugband Blues" was the last song with the Pink Floyd contained in the album "A Saucerful Of Secrets", the first album for David Gilmour. After 1968 he began a solo carreer (with the sporadic help by Gilmour and Waters), recording three albums: "The Madcap Laughs", "Barrett" and "Opel" (not a real album, a compilation of unused material). This albums are different from Pink Floyd's music but the quality is high ("Baby Lemonade", "Terrapin", "Dominoes"...). Syd ceased to do music and died June 6, 2006 after 30 years spent in Cambridge without play guitar. Goodbye Syd |
