"Flicker, flicker, flicker blam, pow, pow"
This album is such a treat to listen to. Trippy fun it always makes me happy. The first Pink Floyd album I listened to and I was hooked straight away.
10/10 songs: Interstellar Overdrive, Astronomy Domine, Bike, and The Gnome [First added to this chart: 06/05/2017]
