  • Who is the asian?

    

  • @kreaknindjan I think she was photographer Mick Rock's lady or assistant.

  • @kreaknindjan The asian is actually an eskimo girl Barrett was dating. I know Mick Rock and he told me the whole story. She was just there for the photo session and was always walking around naked, bleeding all over flat because she had no period pads.Her name is Iggy, she is also on the Madcap album photos. Any other questions?

  • @Juanfifarek I don't think it's Iggy the Eskimo. The photo session with the Asian girl above was taken about 2 years after the photo session of the Madcap laughs album. Syd had broken up with Iggy and I'm sure from pics that Iggy had different facial features than the Asian girl above. So...sorry, I don't think it's Iggy.

  • 5:52 and that photo ??? is that guy syd barrett?

  • @juniorssc1 Yeah, it's supposed to be a street photo that someone took of him when he was playing with his short lived group STARS in Cambridge in 1972. He had grown a beard. The photo is fuzzy but it's supposed to be him.

  • This is worlds different than anything alse I've heard by him. Boggie #2 sounds kind of like 70's metal. What Syd needed was some other musicians who were as out there as he was to play with.

  • Basic blues with effects pedals and analog echo machine. Jamming and doodling- Warming up but not qute getting it together- Maybe thrown out of studio by impatient bosses. Also hear Ashra Tempel 'schwingungen' l.p. -1970: floaty guitarist Manuel Gottsching takes this type of sound to different level. Other krautrock bands compare too- though not bluesy-more unique. Early work by Faust is freaky on a par with where Barratt was going with this stuff

  • @JasonTryp It is Iggy The Half-Eskimo. The picture is from a photo session taken in 1969 for the Madcap Laughs!

  • @Juanfifarek she isn't eskimo, she's english east indian

  • wish he created some more material like boogie 2

  • @JasonTryp I will ask Mick myself. I never wondered that or really bothered. It does look like her though as in the madcap Days she wore and Barrett wore alot of make up. so who knows. i will find this out for us Jason.Cheers

  • this is one of the best things i heard about barret

  • @kreaknindjan Iggy the Eskimo
