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.

  • Pink Floyd’s best album by some distance!

    The Piper at the Gates of Dawn is nothing like Dark Side of the Moon, or the Wall, or anything else Pink Floyd have done since this astonishing debut. The reason is quite simple: Syd Barrett. This is his masterpiece, almost totally written by him, and defined by his wonderful English voice (long before Nick Drake), his intelligent, whimsical lyrics and his aggressive, ever-changing guitar (Townshend meets Clapton). Syd never made another decent record, so treasure this. People say he was a victim of LSD, but I think he just got bored with music and moved on. After all, if you’ve said it all in one disc, why make more? Pink Floyd, who have lived in his shadow ever since, gave us the answer in Dark Side - Money!

  • Sometimes it takes time...

    As a teenager I liked See Emily Play and Arnold Lane but was totally confused by Piper, did not like the music of Floyd at all. Then one day walking through a store I heard a fantastic piece of music - Us and Them from DSOTM. Converted back to avid Floyd fan and have stayed with them with each new release. Eventually I worked through the back catalogue an this is the last addition now 58 years on I enjoy it, a fantastic piece of a great bands history, a shame we lost Syd as his full potential was never realised, if Floyd had developed to a five piece with boy Barret and Gilmour who knows what could have been possible ~ failure or greater fame??

  • Great Phychedelic Stuff!

    One of my fave Floyd albums...Quirky Syd Barrett lyrics & music of the phychedelic era before Gilmore (great player) joined & the band became more mainstream.
