Sydophilia

Now he's dead, the cult of Syd Barrett will only continue intensify and romanticise an abbreviated 5 year musical career. The repetitive 'crazy diamond' epithet was worn and stained long before his death. Apparently, he spent a great deal more cumulative time thereafter painting and gardening, of which there's little record but possibly better satisfaction.

From the two solo albums (1971), these are the most formed compositions.
