The title of Pink Floyd's debut album is taken from a chapter in Syd Barrett's favorite children's book, 

The Wind in the Willows, and the lyrical imagery of The Piper at the Gates of Dawn is indeed 

full of colorful, childlike, distinctly British whimsy, albeit filtered through the perceptive lens of LSD. 

Barrett's catchy, melodic acid pop songs are balanced with longer, more experimental pieces showcasing 

the group's instrumental freak-outs, often using themes of space travel as metaphors for hallucinogenic experiences

 -- "Astronomy Domine" is a poppier number in this vein, but tracks like "Interstellar Overdrive" are some 

of the earliest forays into what has been tagged space rock.The Piper at the Gates of Dawn 

successfully captures both sides of psychedelic experimentation -- the pleasures of expanding 

one's mind and perception, and an underlying threat of mental disorder and even lunacy; 

this duality makes Piper all the more compelling in light of Barrett's subsequent breakdown, 

and ranks it as one of the best psychedelic albums of all time...(AllMusic)
