ReviewsRanked #40 in Mojo's "The 50 Most Out There Albums Of All Time" - "Thirty eight years on, there's nothing like it...", "'Astronomy Domine' is an early showing of the band’s space rock tendencies. With Syd Barrett at the helm, 'Astronomy Domine' is suitably psychedelic sounding...", 5 stars out of 5 -- "These Edward Lear-ish messages from the mind of Syd Barrett served as a reminder to even The Beatles...that pop is at its best when it's headed into the unknown.", Ranked #55 in Q's "100 Greatest British Albums", 4.5 stars out of 5 - "...a masterpiece of the psychedelia genre....the golden achievement of Syd Barrett....a milestone in what soon would be called 'head music'...", Included in Q Magazine's Best Psychedelic Albums of All Time, 5 Stars - Indispensable - "...PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN is, even counting SGT. PEPPER, possibly the defining moment of English psychedelia and Syd Barrett's magnum opus; strange, sad, and a record that all should own..."
Additional InformationThe Band's Kaleidoscopic Debut and Syd Barrett's Whimsically Demented Statement of Purpose.

  • Psychedelic heaven at a reasonable price

    Still the original psychedelic record and still the best. From the opening of Astronomy Domine to the closing sound effects of The Bike, this is a psychedelic gem, sounding as fresh today as it did back in 1967. But for God's sake, buy the vinyl, it just doesn't sound the same on CD. And at this price it is great value for money.

  • A piece of music history

    You can feel the battle between the record company that wanted commercials single's and the mighty Syd Barrett who wanted to create on vinyl the experiences of seeing Pink Floyd live. It was a time when bands like Cream would play 10-20 on one song by each soloing. Floyd wanted to take a riff or idea to its length by improv and wherever the substances they had taken led them. This album is a curious mix of silly ditties and some moments of where Floyd was heading in the future. Barrett was very clever and produced some wonderful Floyd singles that failed to appear on this LP, however if like me you were born in the fifties and this is a return to our childhood or you are new to this particular Floyd album grab a cup of tea or whatever and use headphones as loud as you can handle. Arguably this is the start point for what we would later call Progressive Rock.

  • Great remaster and good quality pressing. Buy one!!

    I'm really pleased with this remastered and re-pressed album. It sounds really good - far better than paying a fortune for an old, worn out copy. I thoroughly enjoy playing and owning it.
