Pop culture's fascination with the psychically damaged has inspired a pantheon of cult heroes, from Brian Wilson through Sky Saxon, Roky Erickson, and Kurt Cobain, whose enduring--if troubling--appeal could give a cultural psychologist a life's worth of study. Pink Floyd founder Syd Barrett has long been one of the most obsessed over. Listening to this first-ever distillation of the "best" of Barrett's brief post-Floyd recording career (which essentially ended in 1970), it's not hard to understand why. Barrett's childlike side (displayed here on such Lewis Carroll-esque fare as "Octopus," "Terrapin," and "Effervescing Rhino") and almost painfully innocent love songs sometimes feel like the lost blueprint of alt rock, while his space-case vocal delivery and distinctly surreal sense of timing and rhythm give each cut a hypnotic sense of intrigue. It's all a far cry from the intricately baroque pop psychedelia of his brief tenure in Pink Floyd. Something (LSD? Insanity? Both?) clearly shattered Barrett's consciousness between the band's debut album Piper at the Gates of Dawn (he left the band shortly afterward) and the spare, shattered acoustic ballad poems from his first solo album (The Madcap Laughs) featured here. The more accessible, pop-conscious ethos of its follow-up, Barrett (highlighted by "Baby Lemonade" and the amusing "Gigolo Aunt") were largely studio illusions conjured up by sidemen such as Floyd's David Gilmour and Richard Wright. Barrett fans should also note the presence here of the previously unreleased "Bob Dylan Blues," a wry, talking blues parody of the great Zimmerman and allegedly one of Barrett's earliest compositions. --Jerry McCulley

We Do Miss You Syd!!!

Calificado en Estados Unidos el 21 de agosto de 2008

Compra verificada

Even though Syd had dropped out of the music scene around 1975, his presence and legacy continued on in his influence on so many musicians, including the band he helped to found, Pink Floyd.

This collection is a well put together sampling of some of his best solo works. There are a few parts that are a bit of a hard listen, partly because of Syd's penchant for off-beat lyrics and dissonant sounds, but also because, if you listen closely, you'll hear those hints at the troubles that plagued Syd's life.

There is a dichotomy also; witness the gleeful trippiness of "Octopus": ("...they'll never put me in their bag")/ ("The squeaking door will always squeak...").
Somewhere among the word plays- deadpanned with amusing poetic license- I am certain Syd is trying so 'say something' in his own inimitable way.
Then there's the trance inducing "Opel", with the loooong held vocal notes ("I'm tryyyyyyyyyy-ing..."), which is just plain spooky, but I love it.

As other's have mentioned, buy it also for "Bob Dylan Blues" and "Two Of A Kind" even if you have the rest of his works. The latter has an early Donovan feel, and the former is a left-handed compliment to its namesake ("...and the wind, you can blow it"---nice).
These are two excellent songs which I'd never heard before, and enjoy immensly. There's a nice progression in the song order and selection. Bottom line, this is put together really well and is a fitting tribute to one of the greats.

RIP Syd, you are missed.

Unveiled.... beautiful!

When I listened to this collection for the first time I was a bit, yes, shocked (especially when I heard 'Wouldn't you miss me!'...) In 'Pipers at the Gate of Dawn' with Pink Floyd, there is a near-perfect Syd. This Syd here is sincere, there is something real flowing out of him. I don't get the impression that he is trying to impress. His voice is so beautiful and soothing. Listening to this CD feels like he is sitting in my living room playing just for me. There is something very personal and intimate about the way he is communicating through his music.

This is a rare collection of someone who did not care anymore about coming across as a 'rock star'. Beautiful songs, beautiful voice and gentle touching music. I am grateful Syd left this gift for us to enjoy.

I am sure that if I had not known Syd Barret as the main founding member and first main songwriter of Pink Floyd, and as the author of most of the compositions of that classic and always fascinating album that is "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn", I would not have cared less for either listening or buying this collection. None of the songs here are really memorable, "Astronomy Domine" "Arnold Layne" and "See Emily Play", among others, are indeed unforgettable. In the folk song genre, under which the songs of this collection more or less fit, Syd Barret is very far behind someone like Nick Drake, for example, just to mention one. Syd's talent thrived in crafting precious and elaborated pop songs, as well as sonic improvisational suites (Interstellar Overdrive, for example)and to achieve that he borrowed from 60s psychedelia what fitted better with his works. In that order, he was for Pink Floyd what Brian Wilson was for The Beach Boys. The songs collected in the reviewed album, with minor exceptions, drift away from that path. Having said that, the main value of this collection is to have Pink Floyd fans with completist compulsion (as I am myself) satisfied with full knowledge of the post Pink Floyd output of the ill fated genius called Syd Barret.

A great tribute for Syd Barrett

Wouldnt you miss me is a great collection of songs from Syds solo discs. i like all the songs. Syds vocals are understandable and the music is good Rick Wrights solo on love song is beautiful Syd was a good guitarist the producers including Roger Waters and Dave Gilmour did great i like them even more for their helping Syd. The booklet answers most of the questions and gives a good insight. If you like Piper and Jugband blues you should like these songs to.

I listen through every CD I buy at least once to verify that it isn't defective, no matter how bad it is. I broke with tradition on this collection of Pink Floyd dropout Syd Barrett's "Best." I didn't miss Syd Barrett's songs.

I give this 1 Star instead of Zero Stars. Only because for some strange reason, Barrett decided to write a real song--Bob Dylan Blues--and though it remained unreleased until this compilation, it's the best tune here. It has an actual chord progression, sardonic lyrics, and should be covered by somebody with more than a $5.00 studio budget. Is it real or is it Memorex? I think it's Memorex--or somebody's cassette recorder.

The rest of this alleged cream of the Barrett corpus is Barrett's one BB ricocheting around in his head. He knew (more or less) how to fit in lyrics, and there's an occasional bar or two of interesting music (undoubtedly played by someone else). This isn't experimental music--these are songs by someone whose aesthetic is so wrapped up in his own mind that he doesn't know or care that he can't communicate anything to other human beings.

This can't be the worst music ever recorded--given the mountain of recorded music, there has to be material even worse. Had Barrett been a struggling musician who showed up at a studio with these songs, he'd never get near a fried tube. But his early membership in Pink Floyd gave him some credibility and enough fans to support releasing his creations. I'd rather listen to Alvin and the Chipmunks cover The Archies.

I'm sure this review is heresy to those who regard Barrett as a genius, but anyone expecting to hear how Pink Floyd would have sounded if Barrett had remained on board is in for disappointment.

Syd's legacy

Calificado en Alemania el 18 de julio de 2015

Pink Floyd-Fans, die Syd Barrett ausschließlich von "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn"[1967] und "A Saucerful of Secrets"[1968] kennen, sollten darauf gefasst sein, dass bei seinem Solowerk der Schwerpunkt ganz eindeutig auf dem Songwriting liegt. Experimentelle Improvisationen á la "Interstellar Overdrive" oder "Pow R. Toc H." sind hier also nicht zu erwarten, dafür aber in vielerlei Hinsicht unkonventionelle, atmosphärische, minimalistisch gehaltene Songs. Viele davon sind schlichtweg zeitlose Rohdiamanten in der Schatzkiste der Musikgeschichte und gerade wegen ihres z.T. "unfertigen" Zustandes umso strahlender. Wer allerdings mehr Wert auf überproduzierte Perfektion legt und seiner Wahrnehmung bloß nichts Unerwartetes zumuten will, wird meine Begeisterung mit großer Wahrscheinlichkeit nicht teilen können.

Gleichwohl sich die Wege des Pink Floyd-Mitbegrüders und seiner Band früh getrennt haben, unterstützten ihn seine Kollegen (Gilmour, Right und Waters) glücklicherweise weitehin und machten das Entstehen beider Soloalben ("The Madcap Laughs" und "Barrett" [1970]) überhaupt erst möglich. Neben einer soliden Auswahl aus diesen Alben ist auf der Compilation "Wouldn't you miss me?" auch ein bisher unveröffentlicher Song "Bob Dylan Blues" enthalten - der erste von Barrett geschriebene Song überhaupt.

Um die Person Syd Barrett haben sich im Laufe der Zeit zahllose Mythologien gebildet, sodass sein künstlerisches Erbe dadurch schon fast in den Hintergrund geraten ist. Dies ist dem Talent dieses Mannes gegenüber mehr als ungerecht, nett ausgedrückt. Was auch immer sich im Kopf von Mr. Barrett damals abgespielt haben mag, keiner von uns wird es je erfahren, so viel steht fest - but it's actually not our business! Denn seine Seele hat er in diesen sowohl wunderbar melancholischen als auch humorvollen Songs offengelegt - einen Spannungsfeld zwischen einer geheimnisvollen Aura, Spontanität und puren Intimität. Mehr Seelenstriptease geht eigentlich gar nicht.

Der Einfluss von Barrett lässt sich nur schwer leugnen: viele durften seine Songs bereits als Coverversionen gehört haben, z.B. "Dark Globe (Wouldn't You Miss Me?)" von R.E.M. oder Placebo, "Golden Hair" von Slowdive oder "See Emily Play" (die zweite PF-Single) von keinem geringeren als David Bowie. Im späteren Schaffen von Pink Floyd wird die Abwesenheit Barretts sogar zu einer Art Leitmotiv.

Fans der Singer-Songwriter-Musik, bluesigen Popsongs mit psychedelischen Einflüssen und all denjenigen, die sich gerne überraschen lassen - diese CD sei euch wärmstens ans Herz gelegt! Alles in allem: eine umfangreiche und gelungene Compilation, die zum Weitermpfehlen verdammt ist :)
