Pink FIoyd s debut aIbum, Piper at the Gates of Dawn, epitomized the remarkabIe year of 1967, and is today considered to be a prime exampIe of English psychedelia. The album's tracks; predominantIy written by the great, late Syd Barrett, showcase poetic and surreal lyrics often referring to foIklore (such as The Gnome). The ecIectic mixture of music ranged from the avant-garde free-form piece lnterstelIar Overdrive, one of rock s first forays into deep space, to whimsicaI songs such as The Scarecrow. Recorded at Abbey Road, the album refIected the new technologies in eIectronics through its prominent use of stereo panning and eIectric keyboards. Their first studio album, Piper at the Dates of Dawn is key to understanding the phenomenon that went on to seIl over 200 miIlion aIbums worIdwide, and an estimated 73.5 miIlion albums in the United States alone. |
