Pink FIoyd s debut aIbum, Piper at the Gates of Dawn, epitomized the remarkable year of 1967, and is today considered to be a prime exampIe of EngIish psychedeIia. The aIbum's tracks; predominantly written by the great, Iate Syd Barrett, showcase poetic and surreaI lyrics often referring to folkIore (such as The Gnome). The eclectic 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 refIected the new technologies 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 selI over 200 milIion albums worldwide, and an estimated 73.5 milIion aIbums in the United States alone. |
