Song title: Astronomy Domine
Artist: Pink Floyd
Year: 1967
Why I like this song:
I'm a fan of the Pink Floyd. So it may surprise some of you that it is only now that I am being acquainted with the Syd Barrett era.
And it is a surprise to me to hear this as it sounds worlds apart from the seventies Pink Floyd. I was informed that this was the pinnacle of sixties psychedelica and they weren't kidding. Jarring guitars, pounding drums, some demented organ and lyrics involving space travel - they all sound like it shouldn't fit together but somehow it does. It sounds crazy and yet somehow enticing.
Of course this era of Pink Floyd will be short lived. Still as an opening move, it's a big one.
