There have been a number of
Syd Barrett
compilations but, remarkably, 2010's
An Introduction to Syd Barrett
is the first to combine
Pink Floyd
material with his solo recordings, so it truly provides an introduction in a way no previous collection has. It's possible to quibble that there are a few
Floyd
songs that should have made it here -- mostly selections from
The Piper at the Gates of Dawn
, including
"Astronomy Domine"
and
"Lucifer Sam,"
but this favors the non-LP early singles
"Arnold Layne,"
"See Emily Play,"
"Apples and Oranges,"
which do point the way toward such solo cuts as
"Octopus,"
"Baby Lemonade,"
"Terrapin,"
"Gigolo Aunt,"
"Effervescing Elephant,"
all present and accounted for here. Some may also quibble about inclusions of new mixes for
"Here I Go,"
"She Took a Long Cool Look,"
"Dominoes,"
"Matilda Mother,"
preferring the original mixes, but these new mixes don't call attention to themselves nor do they detract from the first disc to provide a strong, concise introduction to
Barrett
's twisted genius. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
