3 Tracks From Syd Barrett's 'The Madcap Laughs' (Vinyl Copy)

[JBnotthescotch]

How odd. Every time something bad happened in Syd's career, Gilmour was around.

[cervezallos]

RIP genius............



[perthheat111]

its so crazy but it just so fucking works!!!

[streetcat93]

@perthheat111 Well crazy , yes, but syd lost control of his mind in 1968 from schizophrenia, triggered by his acid trips, true fact look it up, but his solo was pretty interesting

[perthheat111]

@streetcat93 nah bud he found his mind, were the ones that r crazy.

[1979sterling]

In Digital Music, you cannot hear the space...there are no walls, no pillars, no air. Just saying.

[7upIsLove]

someday i'll paint my floor boards like that, just brilliant.

[geckotronic16]

The third track-"Love You" sounds as if i could have been made by the Beatles, has that definite Lennon-McCartney sound and lyrical content... Agree?!!

[purplefluffcake]

anyone know where i can download this album? i cant find it anywhere

[shobyms]

@purplefluffcake : try realplayer sp. so you can download that into your computer.

[morbidgod]

@purplefluffcake go to Dirpy, it's a website that converts youtube videos to mp3's. i use it all the time and it works great!

[hammeron39]

@purplefluffcake anything can be found on Amazon .com . . . anything , . . .

[skinnyhell94]

love both of his solo albums! why did Pink Floyd kick him out of the band?!

[teresa0406]

whoever the hell you are you are so INCREDIBLY MISINFORMED ITS PATHETIC! do you not know about these people before you make randomly stupid comments????????

[cosmictywlite]

you no folks,this is like,one flew over the cookoos nest,this was recorded in the nut house,by syd, after he had taken to much acid,it is unreal ,a real classic,I got the album back in the 70s,& I still dig it:::

[DreamedOfHugeSpiders]

just the other day i was reading about a technique for recording electric guitar by micing up the amp and placing a second mic right next to the right hand of the player to get the sound of the raw strings. and whaddayaknow a few days later i stumble upon this great example of the technique in action.

[claudiapearljam]

I feel usually insatisfaction...I want more about Syd music, and i had to listen again and again...Syd the best¡¡¡¡

[kimmiethehippie]

what a feeling!

[rileyhisteria]

I've never heard terrapin before what a great song

[AIKevorkian]

This is absolutely totally, as Canadians say, RIGHT ON!

[mikekorz]

Soft machine was a great band...

[mikekorz]

great drums on 2nd song

[omnichord1]

Robert wyatt on drums, he recorded this song with Soft Machine.

[amuzed50]

I agree. It must have been a real trip to follow Syd with his apparent rambling style and abrupt phrase changing. But that's what is great about his stuff.

[dearskippy]

This is so good and yet so sad

[lsdmadman]

acid can send you to heaven or hell...but living in neanderthal gray times the journey is well worth the risk for the brave and PREPARED....

[killeroftime978]

barret lives!!

[silviabulsara]

syd i love you

[lennonsgirlxx]

this is awesome!

I love Syd RIP

[crinkleman123]

Ice cream scuze me

[ente1993]

Fantastic! I know that vinyl digitalisation is a lot of work (almost all my vids are from my LPs. I didn't know Syd Barrett made some solo albums, but I own The Piper at the Gates of Dawn and a Bootleg with Frank Zappa and I have been always looking for more!

[dogredrum66]

i love floyd i em on lsd i see god i fly in your brain i meet sid i suck my brain every night and day i dont know what im seying kill me if you must.i have my mysic i am a fag i am a god i am a mother i am a sister fuck you all i sleep with sid every nightand day in my mind

[AirHendrix91]

Hate to ask this here but are Vinyl records even better than 320 kbps .mp3's?

Always wanted to buy a record player or turn table but never found one for newbies like me.

Like the easy going attitude Syd is displaying in the first song :D.

[PostToastie]

Better than any MP3, buy a turntable, I found a great one at Goodwill.

[AirHendrix91]

Aight, does Goodwill have an online store?

I found an ok one on Amazon for $70 but it looks kinda shady lol.

[AirHendrix91]

Actually found an old record player my family bought at a yardsale. All I need is the stylus.

[SROCeallaigh]

@PostToastie I have become a vinyl convert recently...there has been a turntable in the house for years which has not been used, then recently I decided to get some vinyl after I wanted to for ages, being the nostalgic person that I am...you certainly can't beat the vinyl format for artwork...and there is just something about vinyls...more exciting than just listening to an mp3 player or putting a CD in a hi-fi...

[ente1993]

alsolutely nothing is better than vinyl! In my opinion because of the digitalisation something in the sound gets lost. Good Luck by finding a good turntable!

[hammeron39]

@AirHendrix91 Ive always loved the real wood consoles that are tube , get one thats at least 100 watts and be prepared to be amazed , , , , the wood case and the superior tube amps will impress you , . . . age is unimportant , if real old you may need to replace the speakers, Ive got a marantz that dates to 1969, thats 185 watts , I love t, with a replaced garrard turntable

[TheKristopherNeil]

@AirHendrix91 Vinyl is the next best thing to the original master tapes in terms of sound quality. You can get a new or used turn table as long as it works and you have a good needle.

[KadrickNinness]

@AirHendrix91

MP3s? Vinyls are an analogue signal with more densely packed detail than MP3s by a long, long shot. But why is MP3 your reference? The symbol of the modern age's preoccupation with convenient crapness. If you want some good, clean sound, look beyond the CD to high resolution sources like DTS and SACD. Hell, even if you can run an HDCD it's going to demolish rubbish like MP3. Buying a cheapie Vinyl player is a questionable idea compared to an affordable DVD/Blu Ray player.

[bigup13]

DESTINY...

[Leibo07]

Nothing better than Vinyl
