It is always a great thing when Syd talks. It enriches the whole experience tremendously. Too bad there was no video of his solo work. Can you just imagine studio outtakes on video??

I'm 17 years old and I value the art brought upon by "The' Pink Floyd, syd barret in himself i have been so interested in , the use of his classical old-new English romanticism is so beautiful , the way "syd" writes and speaks feels so eerily deep to me

Frank Zappa from Freak Out(1966), a big influence on Barrett's Floyd. Curiously, about this time he had disbanded the Mothers and produced his solo album "Hot Rats"(!) so there seems to be psychic connection between these two artists.

At least he got to live out his last 20 years in relative peace enjoying gardening and painting (he always referred to himself as an artist rather than a musician).
