Hey, Syd's back! It has been a few months since we had a solo recording from him. There have been a couple of early Pink Floyd tunes, but now we get a great tune from his album, The Madcap Laughs. Here we venture into a sort of musical no man's land. It is often unclear which way a Syd song is going, which beat a line ends on, what chord it's time to play. The guitar solo comes in around 1:28, all raw and fuzzed out. The music starts to lose its way after 1:55, the musicians are probably like, 'Hey Syd, where are we going?' He just mumbles along, 'tell me tell me,' like he has no idea. A glorious mess.
