I was baffled when I learned that the song "Incarsuration of a Flower Child " was released in 1999 and was not the song I thought I heard on the radio 30+years ago. The song I'm describing had a reoccuring baroque-like keyboard melody and a trippy 3 minute middle 8 guitar solo and few lyrics sung by I believe Roger. It was quite different from some of the other Floyd songs from the mid 60s in that it was more up tempo. The OUTRO sounded like remnents from the Committee LP parts 1 and 2 and this song did not appear on any of Floyd's commercial LPs. I'm interested in finding out whether or not this tune had an official title
You wouldn't be thinking of something by The Soft Machine? Hope for Happiness being one of their singles or She's Gone from Jet Propelled Photographs which sounds similar to Floyd's Committee soundtrack
Syd Barrett wrote 52 songs. He was a talented, gifted young man. Unfortunately, before his time with Pink Floyd, he smoked a joint now and then. Unfortunately, Syd started taking drugs very early on. His mental state deteriorated in the shared apartment where Syd lived!!! He took LSD several times a week. No brain can handle that. Drug addiction is a mental illness... Syd became lethargic... He didn't live in the here and now... He could no longer play the right scale... He wanted to climb walls... He wanted to hit his sister Rosemary's head with the guitar... At 22, Syd was a sick person. He failed as a painter and musician. I don't know if he ever found salvation or peace for his soul?? Did he ever have therapy? I'm interested in how Syd lived with his illness.
@duncan-rmi Syd Barrett took drugs before his time with Pink Floyd. David Gilmour said he took LSD with Syd when Pink Floyd didn't even exist yet. Nick Mason said: Syd smoked a joint now and then. Syd Barrett lived in a bad shared apartment. He took LSD several times a week. No brain can handle that!!! He continued to take drugs during his 2 solo albums, although no longer LSD... Mantrax and hash. Syd Barrett was a sick person at 22!!! He didn't live in the here and now... He could no longer play the right scales... He wanted to start a cult... He tried to hit his sister Rosemary on the head with his guitar 🎸... Syd Barrett had the illness of catatonia!!! His sister Rosemary said: Syd had to learn to come to terms with the damage to his brain... He painted pictures and then burned them in the garden. This is exactly why Syd Barrett failed as a painter and musician!!! Psychiatry was not yet ready at that time. At the beginning he was given the wrong medication.
How strange! I always thought the December "Tomorrow's World" recording was much, much earlier. Thanks for sharing. You've done some great work here.
