• ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ Syd's influences included The Beatles,Stones,Byrds and Love. A song from theFIRST LOVE album went on to inspire the chord pattern for 'Interstellar Overdrive'. 

• Syd wrote virtually the entire 'Piper At The Gates Of Dawn Album', but within 12 months he'd be out of Pink Floyd, and 'out of it' altogether, to all intents and purposes. 
• Syd was the undisputed creative leader of Pink Floyd for their early clutch of music, and this, the only full album he'd participate in with the group. 
• Who knows what went on in the mind of Syd Barrett? 
• What makes this one of the finest Psychedelic albums of all of time is that Syd had different thought patterns, he did things differently. The way he played guitar was different, the way he sang was different ( resolutely English ) and his lyrics were certainly not something heard before. Nursery rhyme lyrics almost, but very striking, not Rock n Roll lyrics as such. 
• Syd took too many drugs, and drugs wore him down, ripped him apart. "See Emily Play" was replaced on the U.S, version with British only track #1 "Astronomy Domine"(Syd Barrett/Richard Wright) starts you off in a space ship ready for liftoff. You wind up soaring through space at the speed of light looking out at the planets below you. 
•  'Lucifer Sam' opens guitar heavy, the lyrics are stupendous other world poetry with a hint of Syd nursery rhyme, making no sense, yet sounding deep and heavy no doubt at all, provided you're out of your head! If you aren't out of your head, the band sounds great anyway, there is a natural poetry about the lyrics of Syd Barrett, not a structured learned poetry, rather a very natural way with language. Glorious guitar parts appear everywhere. One can even begin to imagine how the song came to be. 
• 'Matilda Mother' has heavenly harmonies, more great lyrics, an exciting and mind-blowing mid instrumental section.
  
  Roger Waters wrote a couple of songs here, people sometimes forget that. Well, he wrote 'Take Up They Stethoscope & Walk' and contributed to the band compositions, 'Interstellar Overdrive' and 'Pow R Toc H'. Before those 'Flaming' arrives, more Barrett lyric genius, more production and mixing experimentation - but it never obscures the melody of the song. 'Pow R Toc H' continues in this albums usage of strange acid-effects, but also continues with strong musical melodic content. 'Take Up Thy Stethoscope And Walk" the only Roger Waters solo composition owes obvious debts to Barrett, the lyrics are clumsy and basic compared to Syd, though. Roger would get better, and 'Take Up Thy Stethoscope' benefits from a demented musical assault, especially the way the organ solo is taken! 
• 'Interstellar Overdrive' is nine minutes of loosely structured jamming experience and the basic pattern of the song holds well together, allowing the room for improvisation. 'Interstellar Overdrive' being something to get off on in sequences of sound.
•  Syd takes center stage for the closing sequence of songs. 'The Gnome' is a charming nursery rhyme song with strummed guitar and typically imaginative lyrics. 
• 'Chapter 24' indulges in mixing experimentation, it sounds fantastic harmonically. 'Scarecrow' opens with lots of ticking and clock noises, a simple, very simple child's melody, more nursery rhyme type lyrics, but then, these lyrics? Let's mention the sheer imagination behind them, the worlds and pictures and places they place in your mind. Because they do. Who needs drugs? 
• And, that's 'Piper At The Gates Of Dawn' Syd and Pink Floyd together for the only time for a whole album project, an album project that's been massively influential through the years, and something that's never quite been done again!
