A celebration of the music of Syd Barrett featuring exclusive tracks from the likes of Kula Shaker, Soft Machine, Voyage 35, Robyn Hitchcock (featuring John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin fame), Henge and Tom Bowness to but name a few. Without Syd Barrett, there would have been no Pink Floyd. Their music never dates; it feels timeless. They were utterly unique, and people remain as fascinated by their origins today as when they first heard them. As Nick Kent once observed, Pink Floyd seemed to arrive fully formed from the very beginning, and much of that was due to Syd's startling talent as both a songwriter and a musician experimenting with new sounds using what was, by today's standards, primitive equipment. Alongside The Beatles, Syd Barrett pushed the boundaries of instrumental innovation. His forward-thinking techniques grew out of his grounding in art and his interest in jazz improvisation. Everyone with any interest at all in contemporary British music seems to have an opinion about Syd Barrett, and what happened to him. But no one really knows, which is why the myths have endured and his work speaks to every new generation. Jugglers and Clowns is an official release, and whilst it could be called a "Tribute album", the project coordinators are at lengths to say it is more a "celebration" than a tribute. That coupled with the last ever live performance of Pink Floyd themselves, this Celebration of both Syd and his music is a must not only for Floyd fans, but music lovers in general. Deluxe limited multi-colored double vinyl edition.
