Nor is it the total absence of color. A black hole in space, in fact, is a concentrated area so densely packed that nothing, not even light, can penetrate it. Blackness is actually all colors at once, so many colors merging at such intensity that the riot of their profusion produces, to the superficially perceptive eye, only nothingness: black. Try it with your crayons or magic markers: everything at once, too much simultaneous input layered repeatedly, gives you blackness. You all know who Syd Barrett is even if you think you don't. Without him there would have been no Pink Floyd. Barrett dominated the band during their first years, writing most of their material, singing lead vocals and playing lead guitar. He left the band (or the band left him) for reasons of mental health, and in 1970 with the aid of his replacement in the Floyd, David Gilmour, recorded two solo albums: The Madcap Laughs and Barrett. Syd then performed with Stars, an ensemble in the Cambridge area, but left them after three gigs and virtually vanished from the public eye.

The magazine, as you can read, had its own little "who's in charge" battle and had the usual submissions about Syd and submissions of lyrics to Syd Barrett songs. There are some mentions of Pink Floyd related things, but these are essentially Syd-specific magazines. In some cases the copies seem faint, like the originals, and as best possible we have enhanced them to allow for better print out and reading. Downloading Specifics: Free Download Coming Soon.

His combined talents for eccentric pop songwriting and bold sonic exploration insured his rapid rise to fame and enduring legacy, but the equally rapid decent into chemically-induced mental illness sadly leaves us with the never-to-be-answered question of what Barrett would have accomplished had circumstances allowed him to achieve his full potential as a musician. Roger Keith Barrett was born in the university town of Cambridge at the start of 1946, the fifth and youngest child of pathologist Arthur Barrett and his wife Winifred. Roger displayed a talent for music early in his life, and with the encouragement of both of his parents was already playing ukulele, piano and banjo by the time he took up the guitar in his early teens. The death of his father when Roger was only 12 traumatized him profoundly, yet he remained a creative and energetic child, exploring not only music but writing, acting and painting as well. At the age of 15 he earned the nickname "Syd", just one year prior to joining his first band

Darkly handsome and with brooding, poetic eyes, Mr. Barrett was the charismatic early frontman of Pink Floyd. He wrote several of its psychedelic pop hits of the late 1960s, including "Arnold Layne," about a transvestite who steals women's underwear from clotheslines, "See Emily Play," about a schoolgirl groupie, and "Astronomy Domine," which tried to sonically reproduce an LSD trip.

Wednesday, 12 July 2006 In June 1975, while Pink Floyd were recording the album Wish You Were Here at London's Abbey Road studios, a portly, shaven-haired man arrived and stood quietly at the back, watching. He appeared as the Floyd performed the song "Shine On You Crazy Diamond". It contains the words: "Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun. Shine on you crazy diamond.

A Pink Floyd page The Madcap Laughs Syd Barrett "By the way, which one's Pink?" http://www.sydbarrett.net Dolly Rocker There is a fomidable and sometimes rather tasteless mystique surrounding Syd Barrett , the man who, knowingly or un-knowingly, spearheaded an incredible movement in rock and roll. Stories about him are legion. That it was impossible to work with. That he suffered a mental breakdown. That he once went for an afternoon drive and ended up in Ibiza. That he went back to live with his mother in Cambridge as a part of a mental healing process... Strangely enough, Syd turns out to be as normal as most of us. Unpretentious, and above all, very human He was a star who burned only for a very short time but burned brilliantly enough to leave more than a legacy on popular music. It seems only fitting that this same man now presides over a low key lifestyle in the English countryside. Roger Keith Barrett in 1965 Previously called Sigma 6 T-Set The Meggadeaths , and The Architectural and Screaming Abdabs , Syd Barrett renamed the band Pink Floyd "All we can do is make records which we like. If the kids don't, then they won't buy it." (Syd Barrett.
