This is what happens when you take too much LSD, well that's one story. That's how Syd lost the plot, if he ever had the plot to loose.

I FUCKING LOVE SYD BARRETT! I look a little like him, if you take the first part of my last name and mix it with the last part of my first name you get Barritt, Piper At The Gates Of Dawn is my favorite album ever.

I shall give that doc a watch.

[davelove]

Syd was a wee bit too psychedelic for me (I personally prefer 70's Floyd to the earlier stuff), but remember at the Roger Waters gig in May he did Shine On as a tribute to him & it was all pretty sad :(

Will check out the link soon, thanks for sharing davelove :)

I don't know many people still worship him? Not to my taste though.

Why do you say that Baron, the Peter Jenner connection?

[quest]

Great timing! I'd just been - unsuccessfully - trying to get the BBC listen again thing to work re the Syd Barrett radio documentary and found your link which did the trick straight away! Thanks DL.

Do you remember that thread we did on Pink Floyd back at the old forum? By about page 7 or 8 the evidence was so strong that no one was in any doubt that Pink Floyd was a brainwashing venture of some sort. We started to notice symbolism in things like Dark Side of the Moon. It stinks of Tavistock.

Best selling album of all time, as I recall. (with a little help from their friends of course!)

Hi baron

I'd be very interested to see that thread if it's at all possible. Is there any way to retrieve it if the forum's down or not?

[thedame]

It must be a result of brainwashing... 'Dark Side' is one of the most boring records to ever sell more than 1,000,000. There's definitely some manipulation of minds going on!:D

Maybe Syd was kicked out because he spoke the truth, man.

I remember the thread being on the board but I didn't dip into it I'm afraid :(

All I know is the forum is down and Harris appears to have vaporised.

Anyway you can look at some of the lyrics to that album and in the light of what you know I think it will be pretty obvious. Look at what a nutter Roger Waters turned out to be. They were all public school establishment kids, just like the Ozric Tentacles really.

Some bands get all shiny new instruments and others have to work for years as pub bands. The guy who runs the Ozric has a father who designed the 50p coin and is some kind of artist who did a sculpture in Westminster I think it was. Also the family is connected to Donovan and the band's bass player who is now dead was Donovan's godchild. One of his famous songs was about him. So like a lot of this sort of thing, these people are very much the establishment.

[on the road]

from echoes ...

Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me


Another Brick in the Wall Part 2 (Waters)

We don't need no education
We dont need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone!

Sheep (Waters)

Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland away;
Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air.
You better watch out,
There may be dogs about
I've looked over Jordan, and I have seen
Things are not what they seem.

What do you get for pretending the danger's not real.
Meek and obedient you follow the leader
Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel.
What a surprise!
A look of terminal shock in your eyes.
Now things are really what they seem.
No, this is no bad dream.

I dont think pink floyd are wrong uns at all ,just very talented

Yeah I do see symbolism & lyrics slightly differently now in all bands, but Floyd still seem pretty on the ball & anti-establishment to me, Waters especially so at his recent gig - which was excellent by the way!!:D

Interesting, I didn't know that about the Ozrics...

thanks for the info barron. something worth looking into.

ive often wondered about subliminals in music, i know they work on other recordings. as ive used them.

every time i listened to dark side of the moon i went into trance. i wasnt aware of what trance was then, but now i am. and it was trance.

the band enigma are classic hypnotists too. see for yourself.

but with that i suppose all music induces trance.
dont you have a song, when you immeadiatly you listen to it, your right back in the moment??

its called regression. and music has that "hypnotic" effect.

and ever notice the first song you hear in the morning stays with you??

thats hypnosis. same thing.

music induces trance is my point.

[eternal_spirit]

It can work the other way too dave....If you listen to music before sleep when you wake up that song can play in you're head. I think drugs can play a part too, different drugs for types of music, also depending on what mood you are in can change what type of music you feel like listenng to.

i agree, im just thinking about how much effect music can have on social conditioning, music inducing trance and then come the lyrics.

of course drugs can even heighten the chance of trance. and then come the lyrics..

maybe its off topic, im just thinking about trance, that suggestible state of mind.

This is where it mentions him.

Here comes the roly-poly man
He's singing songs of love
Roly poly, roly poly, roly poly poly he sang
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy he sang
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy he sang
Roly poly, roly poly, roly poly poly he sang

His name was Rolo and a girlfriend of mine a long time ago went out with him. Not as if the song really reflected his life. I heard one time he had just escaped a mental hospital and was being chased by police helicopters and all sorts of things. His brother, the guy Ed who runs it was doing very well, his music was even used for a BMW advert and now has a nice plush farmhouse and recording studio in the country. Rolo lead a very troubled life on the edge and in many ways it was much like Barrett and the way he was treated by Waters, who is apparently a complete bastard. The amount of hate between band members is so huge only a multi million pound contract would bring them together to do a gig.
