	Barrett New - Vinyl - RPI-543314 Sealed Repress Of The 2014 Reissue. "On His Second Solo Album, Barrett Was Joined By Humble Pie Drummer Jerry Shirley And Pink Floyd Members Rick Wright (Organ) And Dave Gilmour (Guitar). Gilmour And Wright Acted As Producers As Well. Instrumentally, The Result Is A Bit Fuller And Smoother Than The First Album, Although It's Since Been Revealed That Gilmour And Wright Embellished These Songs As Best They Could Without Much Involvement From Barrett, Who Was Often Unable Or Unwilling To Perfect His Performance. The Songs, However, Are Just As Fractured As On His Debut, If Not More So. "Baby Lemonade," "Gigolo Aunt," And The Nursery Rhyming "Effervescing Elephant" Rank Among His Peppiest And Best-loved Tunes. Elsewhere, The Tone Is Darker And More Meandering. It Was Regarded As Something Of A Charming But Unfocused Throwaway At The Time Of Its Release, But Barrett's Singularly Whimsical And Unsettling Vision Holds Up Well." AMG - Richie Unterberger. more

	Opel New Import - SHSP 4126 Sealed, Latest Tun Of the 2014 Gatefold Reisssue; EU Import. "For Several Years, The Existence Of "Lost" Material By Syd Barrett Had Been Speculated About By The Singer's Vociferous Cult, Fueled By Numerous Patchy Bootlegs Of Intriguing Outtakes. The Release Of Opel Lived Up To, And Perhaps Exceeded, Fans' Expectations. With 14 Tracks Spanning 1968 To 1970, Including Six Alternate Takes And Eight Songs That Had Never Been Officially Released In Any Form, It Is Equally As Essential As His Two 1970 Lps. The Tone Is Very Much In Keeping With His Pair Of Solo Albums; Ragged, Predominantly Acoustic, Melodic, And Teetering On The Edge Of Dementia. At The Same Time, It's Charming And Lyrically Pungent, With Barrett's Inimitable Sense Of Childlike Whimsy. The Production Is Generally More Minimal Than On His Other Albums, Even Bare-bones At Times, But If Anything, This Adds To The Music's Stark Power. Highlights Are The Lengthy Brooding Title Track, The Multi-layered Swirl Of "Swan Lee," The Alternate Take Of "Dark Globe" (With Much Better, More Restrained Vocals Than The Previous Version), And The Exuberant, Infectious "Milky Way." Meticulous Liner Notes And Excellent Sound Complete This Lovingly Archival Package." AMG - Richie Unterberger. more

	The Madcap Laughs New - Vinyl - RPI-543315 Sealed 2014 Gatefold reissue. "Wisely, The Madcap Laughs doesn't even try to sound like a consistent record. Half the album was recorded by Barrett's former bandmates Roger Waters and Dave Gilmour, and the other half by Harvest Records head Malcolm Jones. Surprisingly, Jones' tracks are song for song much stronger than the more-lauded Floyd entries. The opening "Terrapin" seems to go on three times as long as its five-minute length, creating a hypnotic effect through Barrett's simple, repetitive guitar figure and stream of consciousness lyrics. The much bouncier "Love You" sounds like a sunny little Carnaby Street pop song along the lines of an early Move single, complete with music hall piano, until the listener tries to parse the lyrics and realizes that they make no sense at all. The downright Kinksy "Here I Go" is in the same style, although it's both more lyrically direct and musically freaky, speeding up and slowing down seemingly at random. Like many of the "band" tracks, "Here I Go" is a Barrett solo performance with overdubs by Mike Ratledge, Hugh Hopper, and Robert Wyatt of the Soft Machine; the combination doesn't always particularly work, as the Softs' jazzy, improvisational style is hemmed in by having to follow Barrett's predetermined lead, so on several tracks, like "No Good Trying," they content themselves with simply making weird noises in the background. The solo tracks are what made the album's reputation, though, particularly the horrifying "Dark Globe," a first-person portrait of schizophrenia that's seemingly the most self-aware song this normally whimsical songwriter ever created. Honestly, however, the other solo tracks are the album's weakest tracks, with the exception of the plain gorgeous "Golden Hair," a musical setting of a James Joyce poem that's simply spellbinding. The album falls apart with the appalling "Feel." Frankly, the inclusion of false starts and studio chatter, not to mention some simply horrible off-key singing by Barrett, makes this already marginal track feel disgustingly exploitative. But for that misstep, however, The Madcap Laughs is a surprisingly effective record that holds up better than its "ooh, lookit the scary crazy person" reputation suggests." AMG - Stewart Mason. more
