Thank you Kasey Kasem for turning me onto this album way back in the summer of 1968.

When he was a local dj at old KRLA in LA he played the entire album one Sunday night.  On AM radio to boot !

The beginning of real psychedelia as it is known. These songs arose from a mind unlike any that had come before. That said, I like where they went when that mind disappeared.                                    {#Cheers}

Yes! Just start with the album "Relics" - the greatest hits of their early stuff....then you will find yourself drawn into the albums I imagine...

Obscurity is a problem.  This song is way better than their later mainstream stuff.

Plus, Norman "Hurricane" Smith, who was an engineer on the early Beatles' albums, and produced The Pretty Things, also had a bizarre, Top 40 hit with "Oh Babe, What Would You Say".

Thank you for clarifying for this individual, and indeed for us all, Bill! :-D

Great drumming from Syd, but this is really before they got that Pink Floyd guitar sound.  A few good songs from Relics, but as commented here before, it sounds more like someone trying to copy some other band rather than a Pink Floyd song.

You Feel Loved for Evermore by ~Araen

The keyboardist, songwriter and singer of the Pink Floyd. Author of the Paintbox, Remember a Day, Summer '68, Us and Them, Great Gig in the Sky, Wearing the Inside Out and so on. Many say he is the most underrated keyboardist and musician.
 
Made with 5B, 6B, and 8B pencil in technical drawing paper.

"I can take or leave it, won't be the woebegone
Don't need a model universe to hang your pictures on.
You hide somewhere, you die somewhere
And then this senseless thought,
By hating more you're feeling more
And that's how you get caught.

They're never going to make it easy
Of this you can be sure.
I greet you from the wilderness,
I'll stay inside your door."

Not at all true. The state of mind of the listener is critical to the experience. It does not need to be due to the effects of various alkaloids or similar stimulants, although these can open the perceptive windows if not doors. The song you refer to is certainly not unlistenable. It all depends on what you are doing, what state of mind you are in, what other experiences you bring to the situation. What is your expectation of a song? There are many instances when a particular song does absolutely nothing for me. Yet, the next time I hear it, the effect can be profound. "Several species... " does not provide an easy listening experience, yet I am grateful for the times when it burrowed into my brain and left marks that still resonate. Maybe you need to play a bit with set and setting, if you get the drift.
