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!

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

When this came on I thought, "Gee, this must be Elbow. The follow-on to 'Any Day Now', perhaps?". Can certainly see a major influence on their (Elbow's) sound, especially the singing.Edited By Dave_Mack at 9:54 am on 12/20/2002

Thanks Bill for that one. Bring me back to the days of sparking up a fat one, and placing this LP on the turntable, and turning up the old Pioneer amp to around 7. Thanks for the good memory

More Sid! RP needs to play his demented tune Effervescing Elephant! Its a fun song and, to me anyway, a really good insight into the mind of Sid Berret.

Still gives me waves of chills, after all these years. My older sister gave me a (first release) copy of PF's first album, "Piper at the Gates of Dawn" when I was 11 years old. Changed me forever.

Sure beats Eminem, eh?

RP plays this after Radiohead's I Might Be Wrong, what made me think, there are quite a few links to be made between both bands.

if you like this, go pick up the band Kingsbury Manx's Let You Down cd. so much like early floyd with a mix of the doves & a little velvet underground too for good measure.

in any case, this is my favorite period of floyd.
