THE PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN

Simply put, this is one of my favourite albums of all time, probably ranking into the top 5. Many people would pick up this record, listen to the first track and then toss it aside, dubbing it completely weird garbage-- you have to grasp what this album is about first. This is the output of someone teetering on the edge of drug induced insanity-- the premise, backed up with some completely excellent songs makes it brilliant alone. Each song is a whimsical venturing into the disturbed mind of Pink Floyd creator Syd Barrett, each one sounding like eerie nursery rhymes wrote while Mother Goose was tripping on acid. And thats what makes this album so superb. Pink Floyd's definite best-- you will never ever hear anything like this record ever again. Relish the moment.
