Syd was miles ahead of his time. He was one of the most influential musicians of the 60‘s. In this composition you can hear which is the path which he would have taken. He will never be forgotten.

@@Qwacked8999He was definitely on the edge of schizophrenia according to people who were very close to him such as Roger Waters. He even talks about it on the Joe Rogan Experience. Syd was a genius and incredibly creative, but mental disorders are no laughing matter and unfortunately he seemed to have fallen victim to something of that nature, causing his break from Pink Floyd and eventual reclusion from the world as he lived out his final years. Such a beautiful yet sad story.
the best music is often not for the public. thats an perfect example, what a treasure, thanks or sharing.
Syd was a big guitarist and composer, a genius. Really good for bass, voice keyboards and percussion too. We' ve lost a genius. R. I. P., Syd. You' ll be forever in our hearts. Alex from Italy.🎸🎸🎸🎸🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🪦🪦

@@DM-hh7wl That seems to be the consensus opinion. However, they all deny it. By their own accounts Syd approached them after a gig at the 100 Club (27 March 1969) and they came down to EMI for just one day (3rd May) for 'Love You', 'No Good Trying', 'Clowns & Jugglers'. That was a whole year later. Jerry Shirley & Willie Wilson who play on 'No Man's Land' & 'Here I Go' (17 April) also deny being the musicians on 'Ramadan'. It's most likely Steve Peregrin Took (Tyrannosaurus Rex) on congas. You'd think that, after all this time, someone would step up & say "That's me!" Maybe whoever it was was just too stoned to remember,

@SomnambulistInternationale Hmm that's interesting. I doubt Ratledge would forget, he seems pretty straight, even back then. And Wyatt was more of a drinker, he seems to remember stuff well. Are there definitely congas there? I was listening to the whole rather than parts, but I didn't notice any. The drumkit was being played mostly on the toms which can sound conga-like. I read an interview with Jerry Shirley recently, he discussed the final gigs, but iirc didn't mention recording in 68.

@@DM-hh7wl Jerry Shirley & Willie Wilson play backing on one of the early Malcolm Jones sessions in April '69, not the Pete Jenner sessions from '68. I believe they are congas not tom-toms. I can't be sure, I'm no musician. But I hear percussion, cymbal, bass, guitar, piano & mellotron. It's still a mystery who is playing what. Some people think that Syd is playing Everything! He does play guitar, bass & mellotron on Swan Lee but this seems so much looser in structure it has to be a jam. The original session just has percussion, cymbal, guitar & piano. 2 weeks after Ramadan was recorded there were bass, mellotron & organ overdubs, with 3 session musicians listed but not named beyond the drummer noted as receiving double payment 'to cover last weeks session'. All that you can glean from 'Random Precision' by David Parker.

If you think this is amature noodling, thank you for exposing how out of touch, boring, and grumpy you really are. I challenge you this. Just try and write this down on metered staff and you'd see how complex and genius this piece is. With insane timing changes and syncopation. How all the instruments work, it tells a story. It shows where syd was at in his soul. If you ever had any sort of psychedelic breakthrough into the otherside you could hear the mushrooms in this piece. To understand this you need to also understand playing an instrument because this is really just a masterwork painting without the use of a brush. Anything from 70s onward is just crap, trying to be what syd brought to the group in a failed attempt. Dark side couldnt hold a candle to this piece. If anything, I don't get the "fine tuned" corporate money grab crap with boring pentatonic guitar solos you say you'd rather listen to. This is what the record companies wish they could replicate but don't have a clue on what people really need and want. Instead they brain wash you with Taylor Swift, David Gilmore, and Phil Collins and the true visionaries never get the time of day. "Oh but it's not 4/4 timing with a catchy chorus and bridge.
