I just checked my rating, and I realize that I only gave it an 8 because it wasn't CRANKED UP!!
Up to a 9, with speakers that go to 11

Always a fave...from the first radio-code beeps, then that announcer stating that Pluto was not discovered until 1930 -- meanwhile all is overlaid and dotted throughout by pilots' radio chatter (such as later used by Dave & Co. in Learning To Fly), to the trippy-weird Coleridge-style lyrics -- and to the whacked-out visionary guitar jamming and sound-effects that only Syd seemed able to get out of those poor strings -- way ahead of its time, even though Hendrix would be headed still further soon after...
MORE EARLY FLOYD, Bill, onegaishimasu! Lucifer Sam, Matilda Mother, The Scarecrow, Pow R. Toc. H, or The Bike would be quite nice! and once in a while maybe something off of Barrett's first solo album (with Canned Heat's drummer! and David G. doing a rocking bass-line on a jam called "Maisie"!) would be tasty!
Shall we assume Standard Orbit, Captain?
Hardly -- MUCH higher, Mr. Sulu, would be better, if you don't mind!

I think I agree. Not for P.H. but for the rest: YES! |

Better version is on "Ummagumma", IMHO. Spent a LOT of time tripping to this one, we did!

Not quite. it is the beginning of "Kennzeichen D" or "Brennpunkt" (One was Santanas Waiting). The jingle from "Monitor" is from Alan Parsons Project: Lucifer. I like it, that is why i wrote to these guys and asked about the jingle ;)
Anyway, great song by a great band   8) |

Thanks for playing one of their firsts!
:) :) I saw three concerts on the west coast during that tour... they didn't change the sets up from city to city, so I got to hear this opener every time.. :D |
