With the possible exception of “I Heard Her Call My Name”, last week’s solos are fairly unlike anything else by the people who played them. In this case, and with these examples that I've given, I am baffled and curious as to who was first or was it all by chance?

Of course everyone is at one time or another.influenced by somebody and that is not my point. If you pay close attention to the chord changes? And one vocal part you must put emphasis on is the 'Bah, ba, ba, ba.Bah, ba, ba! It's very close in style to what later turned up on 'Vegetable Man'. You have to block out the vocals and use your imagination hearing Syd Barrett's voice instead of the Beach Boys. Another strange accident is a song by the Beach Boys from the Wild Honey album titled 'I'd Love Just Once To See You' which is just way too close to being a Syd Barrett song. The chord ideas are reminiscent of what either turned up on Madcap or his bizzare creations during the transition of Piper and Saucerful of Secrets. 'Lather' contains those sounds and ideas of an early Pink Floyd song. One observation of mine that is not totally clear and mystifies me is the connection I make between Jefferson Airplane's 'Lather' and Syd Barrett's writing. Although 'Golden Hair' was short and simple, it represented something atmospheric and mysterious. Just as some might feel about early Tangerine Dream as they pay attention to the pulse more than the layers of atmospheric traveling.

The song repeats itself endlessly and obviously if you focus on that alone you kind of miss the point of his creations or ideas. I personally think that 'Bike' was the work of a genius! His later adaption of the James Joyce poem 'Golden Hair' was the most outstanding aspect to 'Madcap Laughs' for me. 'Lucifer Sam' and part 'Astronomy Domine' are prime examples of this adaption His acoustic guitar on songs like 'The Gnome' sound completely grand! I really enjoyed his acoustic playing in the early days.

but kind of on the same path.for example: Hendrix was personally interested in Sci-Fi films and novels and this brings to min d 'Astro Man' which Hendrix privately joked about and called it ' A-hole Man' .but anyway folks, Barrett did pull a little emulation of early Science Fiction TV themes. In that sense he was different from Hendrix. Or the insane effect of a violin bow scratching up and down with that sci-fi echo sound that one might hearr in a 50's Sci-Fi movie. It reminded me of how a synth was later used in rock music. Barrett used to take a slide and rub it up and down the strings while using an echo-plex and a distorted sound.
