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