Nothing mediocre about Syd's guitar. IMHO. And all the virtuoso noodling in the world is not gonna transform a mediocre composition into a stellar composition.Made in 1967 with Syd Barrett in charge, this is really a ground breaking listen. Mediocre musicianship but stellar song composition, this is one to be cherished if you are lucky enough to have a copy.
Um_YEAH_
I've been blasting this at least once a week for 40 years_
Piper at the gates of dawn, Ummugumma, Atom Heart Mother, Meddle, Dark Side, WIsh you were here, Animals and the Wall........arguably some of the best work ever done by Pink Floyd. (Never cared too much for Obscured by Clouds or A saucer full of secrets or anything after the wall to be honest with you) Saw them twice, once on the 1988/89 tour and once on the Division Bell tour, 1994. Awesome show despite Roger Waters not being with them by then.....
