It's a bit rough. It's a bit raw. It's a bit edgy. It's a bit grumpy. Perfect.

How on earth did they make it sound like that in 1973?

A tribute to Syd and a swipe at the industry that broke him.

Drug fuelled psychedelic masterpiece during which Syd ponders on weighty topics such as childhood innocence, the solar system and why he called his pet mouse Gerald.

Relics 
Compilation
A compilation - although quite a few of these tracks do not appear elsewhere. Contains the fab Syd Barrett penned singles "Arnold Layne" and "See Emily Play" as well as examples of other musical avenues the band explored in their early years.

With Rick Wright out the band, Waters re-heats some left-overs from the Wall with some half-hearted assistance from Gilmour and Mason. The lyrics are great, but Waters has yet to realise that he can't really sing - sadly it would take him many years to work this out. To be fair, the inclusion of the wonderful "When the Tigers Broke Free" in later versions improved things somewhat.

The definitive Pink Floyd sound begins to coalesce just prior to recording Dark Side Of The Moon.

This album catches the Floyd in transition away from Syd Barrett's whimsical psychedelia and with the introduction of Gilmour searching for a new direction.

More moody and mysterious vibes for movies watched by a very small number of people (if you like this check out the soundtrack to 1970 art film Zabriskie Point).
