Album Notes
Pink Floyd: Syd Barrett, David Gilmour (vocals, guitar); Richard Wright (vocals, piano, organ); Roger Waters (vocals, bass); Nick Mason (drums).
Producers: Norman Smith, Joe Boyd, Pink Floyd.
RELICS collects Pink Floyd's first two singles, "Arnold Layne" and "See Emily Play," in addition to tracks from their early albums (1967-1969).
Pink Floyd achieved their greatest success after their enigmatic leader, Syd Barrett, left the band. Originally released in 1971, RELICS documents the transition from Barrett's LSD-influenced psychedelic rock to Waters' manic-depressive psychedelic rock. The organ-laced "Arnold Layne," and "See Emily Play" with its harpsichord break and nonsensical lyrics, are representative of the mod-pop music coming out of London circa 1967, at which Barrett excelled. The instrumental "Interstellar Overdrive" hints at the type of extended space-rock jams that Roger Waters and the rest of the band would seize upon once Barrett left.
Keyboardist Rick Wright contributes two tunes, "Remember a Day" and "Paintbox," showing that he was coming into his own as a songwriter before his creative voice was squashed by the overbearing Waters. By 1971 it was clear that Pink Floyd was Roger Waters' band, with the occasional contribution by one of the other members, most notably guitarist David Gilmour.

    This has the very classic Floyd as one would find on Pipers at the Gates of Dawn. This is very relevant right off the bat on the first track. The one thing that sticks about this album is the very long "psychedelic" musical/instrumental song near the beggening and near the end. This reminds me quite well of the Grateful Dead's space odyssey they do on tour which is just a long long long very spontaneous musical "space-ride". Great on LSD, great off LSD, great all the time.

    I love this one, also a very underrated album from Pink Floyd... the Wall and DSOTM keeps stealing all the thunder, remember kiddos, there are other albums out there too!!

    5/5
