	Barrett (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Barrett was the second and final studio album of new material released by former Pink Floyd member Syd Barrett.
		Barrett was released in November 1970 to less interest than had greeted The Madcap Laughs earlier in the year, and as a result, failed to chart.
		Bored and directionless, Barrett promptly headed back to his hometown of Cambridge and — but for a brief dalliance with a band called Stars in 1972, and some abortive recording sessions in 1974 — left his music career behind for good.

	Barrett Martin Bio
		Barrett had already ventured into new musical realms during the course of his tenure in the Trees, and he made numerous other albums; including the 1994 cult-classic "Above" from the super group Mad Season, featuring the late Layne Staley and Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready.
		One of the bigger albums that Barrett worked on was with REM on their album "UP”, in which Barrett played drums, vibraphone, and a slew of exotic percussion.
		During this trip, Barrett was befriended by a Santeria drum priest and taught several of the sacred Bata rhythms of the African Orisas.

		Barrett was born in Cambridge, England, to a well off middle class family, the youngest of 5 siblings.
		Barrett wrote most of the Floyd's early material, and was the principal visionary/author of their critically acclaimed 1967 debut album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn.
		Barrett supposedly spent some time outside the recording studio, waiting to be invited in (he also showed up to a few gigs and glared at Gilmour), it's possible that his contributions to the album (guitar on some of the tracks) were included as a concession to him.

	Syd Barrett
		Of the 11 songs on Piper, Barrett wrote eight and co-wrote another two.[1] He was also an innovative guitarist, exploring the musical and sonic possibilities of dissonance, distortion, feedback, and the echo machine; his experimentation was partly inspired by free improvisation guitarist Keith Rowe.
		Barrett was a remarkable guitarist for his free-form style in playing chords (and also for the use of echo, tapes and other effects): his rhythm guitar, as well as his often minimalist and dissonant solos, are seen even today as a major influence on punk, post-punk, and similar scenes.
		Barrett's decline had a profound effect on Roger Waters' song-writing, and the theme of mental illness would permeate Pink Floyd's later albums, particularly 1973's Dark Side of the Moon and 1979's The Wall.

	Syd Barrett
		Roger Keith Barrett was born in the university town of Cambridge at the start of 1946, the fifth and youngest child of pathologist Arthur Barrett and his wife Winifred.
		Recordings for a solo album were undertaken at Abbey Road in May of 1968 at the urging of manager Peter Jenner, with Jenner himself acting as producer; the sessions were abandoned after a second attempt in June, however, and the album remained in limbo for nearly a year.
		Work on Barrett's second solo effort was initiated at the end of February, a few days after recording a Top Gear radio session showcasing some of his new material; this time Gilmour and Wright assumed production duties, as well as serving as his backing band along with Humble Pie drummer Jerry Shirley.

	Syd Barrett -- founded rock band Pink Floyd, then became a recluse
		Barrett dropped by the recording sessions for the album in London, drummer Nick Mason recalled, the former band member initially went unrecognized because his appearance had changed so much.
		Barrett "was the guiding light of the early band lineup and leaves a legacy which continues to inspire."
		The band's 1973 album, "Dark Side of the Moon," is the longest-running hit in the history of the U.S. best-selling charts, spending more than 14 years on the charts.

	Barrett by Syd Barrett CD
		While BARRETT is not a tremendous departure from what Barrett had been working on earlier, it seems to have benefited from Rick Wright taking Roger Waters's place alongside David Gilmour in the producer's chair.
		But just when you think you've heard it all, Barrett surprises with the beautiful (and almost conventional) "Gigolo Aunt." The importance of the contributions that Syd Barrett--a man simultaneously years ahead and years behind the times--made to music are undeniable.
		Before the genius known forever as Roger Keith (Syd) Barrett withdrew from the public gaze forever, we were left with one more piece of recorded excellence to treasure and reflect on what might have been.

	Opel - Syd Barrett album
		OPEL is a collection of previously un-released Barrett recordings.Most of the songs were recorded during sessions for 'The Madcap Laughs' and 'Barrett'.
		Barrett wrote, sang and played guitar on almost everything recorded during those first outings - 'Arnold Layne', 'See Emily Play' and 'The Piper at the Gates of Dawn' l.p., but the commercial failure of his dazzling 'Apples and Oranges', coupled with an increasing unpredictability, undermined his eminant position.
		'Barrett' was released in November 1970, and is, to date, the last album of new Syd material.

		Syd Barrett, the psychedelic pioneer who was Pink Floyd's original frontman but spent the final 35 years of his life in near-total seclusion, has died, according to a spokesperson for the band.
		Barrett (real name: Roger Keith Barrett) co-founded Floyd with bassist Roger Waters in 1965, and, like many British groups of the era, the band was initially inspired by American blues and R&B artists.
		But it was during a subsequent U.S. tour in support of the album that Barrett began to show signs of instability, oftentimes standing motionless onstage or noodling away at material that had little, if anything, to do with the music the band was playing at the time.

		As the founder of Pink Floyd, Barrett ingested enough LSD to drive a medium sized country mad, and by 1968 and 1969 (when this album was recorded) his mental state was very schizophrenic.
		Barrett's performances soon proved to be erratic and strange, and it was soon apparent that the music was not going to set the teen scene on fire.
		Barrett never played a song the same way twice; that was likely part of his madness.

		On his second solo album, Barrett was joined by Humble Pie drummer Jerry Shirley and Pink Floyd members Rick Wright (organ) and Dave Gilmour (guitar).
		Originally released in 1974, two years after the greatest comedy rock band in history discovered that, contrary to the title of their reunion album, they couldn't make up and be friendly, The History of the Bonzos has long been one of the most fondly remembered compilations of the age.
		Since Relics is a compilation and not a regular studio album, it tends to be overlooked when thought of as one of Pink Floyd's better releases.

	CD Baby: MICHAEL BARRETT: Couches And Carpet
		Couches and Carpet is a solo Michael Barrett album, yet its feeling is quite similar to everything else he's engaged in.
		Small-town living seems to show up in everything Barrett does, but it's less a prop or setpiece than a setting that represents peace of mind, feeling happy with where you are in your life.
		Elsewhere on the album comfort is found within a less rural environment, as on "The Gate", where he describes a basement in Brooklyn as the one place in that city that makes him feel at ease.

		Soon, however, rumours circulated that Syd Barrett would be taking on a 'Brian Wilson' role, writing and recording material 'behind the scenes.' But by April it was clear that he had been ousted completely.
		While Barrett only released two albums in 1970, the existence of unreleased studio work was widely reported.
		The production is generally more minimal than on his other albums, even bare-bones at times, but if anything, this adds to the music's stark power.

	Flynn Files -- Syd Barrett, RIP
		Barrett fronted the band on such early singles as "Arnold Layne" and "See Emily Play" (a few notes of which can be faintly heard on Richard Wright's keyboard at the close of the Wish You Were Here album), and on the Piper at the Gates of Dawn album, Pink Floyd's first.
		Ironically, the song Pink Floyd would play for an eyebrow-less Barrett was Shine on You Crazy Diamond: "Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun/Shine on you crazy diamond/Now there's a look in your eyes, like fl holes in the sky/Shine on you crazy diamond." It's about Syd.
		Posted by: asdf on July 11, 2006 04:32 PM Admittedly, Pink Floyd was better not having Syd Barrett anymore, but they would never have been who they became without him.

	Adrian's Album Reviews : Syd Barrett
		Syd Barrett was one of the founding members and song writers of Pink Floyd, but left after one album with them, PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN (he wrote and sang only one song on their second album, A SAUCERFUL OF SECRETS).
		Never mind the time limit the album had it still had more potential but just as well the talent shone through.as for piper it along with everything he done is a 10 for me based on enjoyability.i dont ever remember a feeling of that when i heard bike for the first time what a buzz.
		'Barrett' doesn't have as many highpoints as 'Madcap', and a few songs are hardly essential pieces of Barrett, were it not for the fact he never really recorded again.

	Joyce - Music: Syd Barrett's "Golden Hair"
		A genuine rock legend, Syd Barrett is one of the founding members of the English group Pink Floyd.
		Known in the sixties for his psychedelic lyrics, whimsical poetry, and rambling, buzzing guitar excursions, Barrett became something of an underground cult figure.
		The overall feel is quite striking -- playing a sparse, acoustic guitar, Barrett delivers the vocals in his broken, haunted voice, while a low note, sustained on an organ, drones on below the guitar.

	Brent Barrett: The Kander & Ebb Album
		On his first solo album he places his expressive tenor voice at the service of 15 songs by possibly the greatest and most enduring of writing teams still working in musical theatre.
		The choice of material on The Kander and Ebb Album is appropriate to Barrett's ringing voice and singer and songs generally bring out the best in each other.
		Barrett is undoubtedly one of the finest 'legit' voices in contemporary musical theatre and one can only hope that this is the first of many recordings.

	Serious Fun CD by David Barrett & John Garcia
		Barrett's authentic, gritty harp does all the moaning and crying you need.
		Piano, organ, bass and drums provide a suitable cushion for Barrett and Garcia's -- and the listener's -- enjoyment on a largely instrumental (only three tracks out of ten tracks) but richly varied set.
		In my book this has got to be one of the best "harp albums" of modern time.

	John Otway : John Otway & Wild Willy Barrett - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Originally self-released on their own Extracked label (after the duo was dropped by Track itself), John Otway and Wild Willy Barrett's 1976 debut album represents the purest of the pair's recordings, a selection of songs that represented every facet of their partnership, as opposed to the madcap antics that became their public persona.
		The showstopping "Cheryl's Going Home," Otway's idiosyncratic butchering of a song he found on a Bob Lind B-side, is a master class in special effects, while the closing ballads, "Trying Times" and "Geneve," have a spectral beauty that wraps around Otway's voice like a glove.
		The decades since John Otway & Wild Willy Barrett have seen both players keep up a steady barrage of new releases, individually and collectively, and all have their moments of sublime glory.

		Syd Barrett floats around and captures a lovely, exuberant tone on "Gigolo Aunt" and "Baby Lemonade", and creates one of the most hauntingly beautiful versions of "Dominoes" (my personal favorite) and "Love Song" on record.

		Syd Barrett is a 1974 double-album pairing of Syd Barrett's two solo albums, The Madcap Laughs and Barrett, both originally released in 1970.
		After the unexpectedly massive success of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, EMI re-issued the Barrett-era albums, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn and A Saucerful of Secrets as A Nice Pair in the hopes that the fans may be interested in the band's earlier work with Barrett.
		Once that was a success, primarily in the U.S. where both albums had initially flopped, Syd Barrett was compiled to meet demand.

		After a half-century of superlative playing, this was Barrett’s first album as leader.
		Barrett Deems is one of the great drummers in jazz, belonging in the thoroughbred class with Dodds, Krupa, Rich, Catlett, Tough, Wettling, Roach, Clarke, Haynes and the Joneses (Jo, Philly Joe and Elvin).

		Instrumentally, the result is a bit fuller and smoother than the first album, although it's since been revealed that Gilmour and Wright embellished these songs as best they could without much involvement from Barrett, who was often unable or unwilling to perfect his performance.
		It was regarded as something of a charming but unfocused throwaway at the time of its release, but Barrett's singularly whimsical and unsettling vision holds up well.

		The Madcap Laughs was Syd Barrett's first solo album after being replaced by David Gilmour in Pink Floyd for his erratic behavior.
		One of the features of the album was that Syd's songs were often recorded beforehand with him and his acoustic guitar, with Barrett completely skipping and adding beats at will (much to the frustration of the session musicians who had to follow the unpredictable recordings).
		Most of the songs on the album are held in high regard, with the exception of "Feel", "She Took a Long Cold Look", and "If It's In You"; all of which are disjointed and sung in a near-scream from Barrett.

		This particular album came by my desk enclosed with a simple note that read, "Help me! I don't wanna be a redneck lawyer any more." Needless to say, I got a chuckle out of that line; but hey, it was one way to get my attention!
		Upon listening to Tod Barrett's album, "The Tod Barrett Project", what I found was not the greatest vocalist.
		From their heartache with the court system, Tod has taken that pain and put it into the best of country songs and complied it into an album that is pure traditional country music at its best.
