Collectible but not great music, phychodelic or whatever that word is, best song on this CD is only 3 minutes long. Definately not one of their classic CD's, which I now feel is only the 3, Wall, Moon & Wish, the others are kind of out there
An American release of songs from the first three albums, plus singles (not on an album till then) such as "Arnold Lang" and "See Emily Play". This is a must for any Pink Floyd fan or anyone interested in the psychedelic era. The down side? There should have been more songs on this album.
Relics is a fantastic collection of mostly Syd/Floyd songs from the 60's. This is not so much of a "Best Of" as it is a cool mix of songs that kind of belong together. I always like it when a band takes some of their songs and puts them in a little different order than we're used to. Kind of reminds me of what The Residents did with the Heaven? and Hell! CDs. It keeps the music fresh. If you love Piper, you should probably own this one. 5 Stars.
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!!
