Syd was miles ahead of his time. He was one of the most influential musicians of the 60‘s. In this composition you can hear which is the path which he would have taken. He will never be forgotten.
no syd no floyd .. simple as that
More like light years ahead.
He was 100 trips ahead of us
Very easy with LSD
and he didnt want to be
Deadass yo! Nothing was ever wrong with Syd. Lived till he died in his own residence. People got to change bro.
This is some Zappa-style next-level sound.
Syd was a big guitarist and composer, a genius. Really good for bass, voice
keyboards and percussion too.
We' ve lost a genius.
R. I. P., Syd.
You' ll be forever in our hearts.

1997 was the year that we had found this one.
Rhamadan is rare and unique, like a memory.
That's the year I was born haha. And day and month same as the wall release date
this song is rare..
And the Record is rare .. c`aunt ..on discogs ...is A Bootleg ;) Enjoy !
Amazing use of free spirit here. Weird man, amazing artist.
Recorded during a 1970 session for 'Madcap Laughs,' featuring Steve Peregrin Took from T. Rex on congas.
I have always thought the association of Syd Barrett ,Marc Bolan &Kevin Ayers would have been a good idea!...if!

Makes sense. Another acid-damaged human.
Had Steve Peregrin Took also had his band stolen & become an outcast?
Very diferent people .the beautifull artistes in avand Gard .
I could not be more of a fan of this beautiful mind. RIP, Roger Keith Barrett.
Legend ❤
Genius.. 🔥

Could you imagine that team up
Pretty groovy!! I like.
GENIUS
The Genius
I see what you did there. lol
Saved to my Floyd file. Thanks.
found this by chance , thank you downloader
A genius.
I’m reminded of Les Claypool with that bass guitar
Early Pink floyds sound was Syd .
Genius!
Love all syd. Just out there.
Thanks for uploading this ditty which sounds like an acid jam and is of the experimental music genre that many artists played around with during this era.
Experimental is not a genre lol
It's just experimental
@Cono Don't be silly and stupid for it can be dangerous. Experimental can be a genre especially in Bodhi's prelusory context. Maybe you prefer the term avant garde and just enjoy being sophomoric. If you want to split hairs further I'm your tetrapyloctomist.
@@ChrMmn defining experimentation and turning it into a genre, ruins it, it's overthink it. In addition, you are being very pretentious Mr. tetrapyloctomist
@@cono4949Found these comments; 1 Experimental music is, of course, a musical genre. Still, the genre seems to fit somewhat uncomfortably within the music industry as a whole ...
2 Experimental music is an umbrella label for a diverse array of contemporary music, from classical and jazz to electronic music.
3 Experimental music consciously deviates from established musical norms (of a particular genre, or of music in general). Music of almost any genre can be considered experimental - but the term is often associated with the more abstract and challenging strains of electronic music, jazz, and rock.
If you play this backwards, its a Stringed quartet.
maybe a few bits and pieces ... gotta smoke up some more and check again :p
Did you grow up with the Stringed Quartet?
Not all of us grow up in a string quartet.
@@CoreyW6292 forgive me,if i don't find your answer not all together too convincing !
@@frankalbin8547 That guy was the worst.
Post-stellar overdrive
I think Syd did messages from the Cosmos.
Always creative
Syd ♥️
This is absolutely alternative version of interestellar OD. It's like the start off
i feel Like i was stuck in an elevator with Syd for an hour
And that's jazz...
Yes, for me too, this is a Jazzy jam
Alex from Italy.
Jazzy. Bravo. RIP dear Syd.
thanks so much! never heard this before.. ♫¸.•*¨♥✿♪
Un vrai musicien tout simplement.
Pink Floyd Co-Founder's Madcap Genius 👄
Not sure why held this for review... just said "words" or something... but here you go 😎
nice interstellar sound
Non-rock, non-jazz... Simply amazing!
slightly non jazz.
A S T O N I S H I N G
This is the first time I've heard this, it was OK I think 🎸🎸🎺🎹🥁
Does Syd play the guitar in this, if so he's very restrained and holds back to let the others fill the space...
..That was Pink Floyd as I still loved them..
It's not Pink Floyd
@@Pablo-nc6qu It's not Syd, either.
Trip sound.,
Fera demais.
.25 speed. Pleasant dreams.
Sounds like early Pink Floyd, which makes sense.
I've never tried acid, but i imagine this is what it sounds like.
I'm also hearing a little soft machine flavour near the end i think. Nice. :)
@@cthomish Well, good analogy I suppose. I didn't pay attention to any music while I was tripping. It was all visual for me 😎 I would say there is too much commonality throughout the song. For me, it was let's do this thing.. next minute I needed to do something else. Suppose it's different for everyone. Glad you enjoyed.
Accurate, but with lots of colors and flavors and Textures...
Keep it that way. Never allow anyone to talk you into taking that poison.
@@skinovtheperineum1208 Psychedelics are great. All the major religions are based on visions somebody had while high, either on psychedelics or fasting.
This just has to be one of those things when he was recording with Soft Machine as that is definitely Mike Ratledge on keys. And bass could be anybody from Kevin Ayers to whoever played after him. Drums again could be Robert Wyatt. As for the rest could be anybody or the same musicians just having some fun....
i can see where john lennons two virins eminated sounds-mellotrone
Needs yoko babbling
Not unlike King Crimson, a year or two later!
Needs more didgeridoos and some braying goats.
Shenais or mijwizz.,jajajajaja
Mix those in.
Great, can i get it on cd or lp?
It's not available on any medium that I know of. It was a one time MP3 download that was on 'An Introduction to Syd Barrett' disc. Maybe Dave, Roger or Nick will include it on something in the future.
edit:spelling
Seems to have an Eastern touch of Islamic Sufi. Not bad at all.
Just like the name.
How lonely was he here...
I felt that too:,(
Isso é Syd, uma viagem
na imensidão, entra acordes dissonantes, entre cores alucinantes. 🎶🍁🎶
Who is playing the Bass - Drum`s & Piano ? Over-Taping - and all Syd ?
All I can say is check the other comments. There was no description of members at the time I downloaded this. It's a mystery wrapped in an enigma.
@@BlindSniperz Mistery-Song! :)
@@dee66daniel72 Pereguin took from t rex on bongo drums, allegedly,from what ive read in comments.
Some very influental fans of Steve Took claims it's an established fact, but I have yet to see sources. They want to be him so bad.
@@larstangmark why ? Ego- Games ! Than :N o - friend-ship-feelings around there..MEANS- NO-BAND-CREW..
It's remind me Atom Heart Mother suite
This is great! Who's on bass?
nobody really has concrete info on who played what. read description and other comments. Steve Took probably played congas
Old Glasgow translation: Head-but Danny.
Rhamadan?? Wait ! What?? Its Holy Month of Islam !! Fasting month !!
Yeah clearly he lost his mind.
Can't see why that isn't Waters, Wright and Mason. If it's early '68, then Syd was still in the process of being ousted from PF. This is very Interstellar/Set The Controls IMHO. :-)
Because we know the date of the recording. May 14th 1968. While PF were busy finishing ASFOS without him. Syd was left behind in January.
@SomnambulistInternationale having read the other comments, it seems it might be Ayers, Ratledge and Wyatt, which seems reasonable. There's a full drumkit there.
@@DM-hh7wl That seems to be the consensus opinion. However, they all deny it. By their own accounts Syd approached them after a gig at the 100 Club (27 March 1969) and they came down to EMI for just one day (3rd May) for 'Love You', 'No Good Trying', 'Clowns & Jugglers'. That was a whole year later. Jerry Shirley & Willie Wilson who play on 'No Man's Land' & 'Here I Go' (17 April) also deny being the musicians on 'Ramadan'. It's most likely Steve Peregrin Took (Tyrannosaurus Rex) on congas. You'd think that, after all this time, someone would step up & say "That's me!" Maybe whoever it was was just too stoned to remember,
@SomnambulistInternationale Hmm that's interesting. I doubt Ratledge would forget, he seems pretty straight, even back then. And Wyatt was more of a drinker, he seems to remember stuff well.
Are there definitely congas there? I was listening to the whole rather than parts, but I didn't notice any. The drumkit was being played mostly on the toms which can sound conga-like. I read an interview with Jerry Shirley recently, he discussed the final gigs, but iirc didn't mention recording in 68.
@@DM-hh7wl Jerry Shirley & Willie Wilson play backing on one of the early Malcolm Jones sessions in April '69, not the Pete Jenner sessions from '68. I believe they are congas not tom-toms. I can't be sure, I'm no musician. But I hear percussion, cymbal, bass, guitar, piano & mellotron. It's still a mystery who is playing what. Some people think that Syd is playing Everything! He does play guitar, bass & mellotron on Swan Lee but this seems so much looser in structure it has to be a jam. The original session just has percussion, cymbal, guitar & piano. 2 weeks after Ramadan was recorded there were bass, mellotron & organ overdubs, with 3 session musicians listed but not named beyond the drummer noted as receiving double payment 'to cover last weeks session'. All that you can glean from 'Random Precision' by David Parker.
can you email the song file to me?
You can download it here, just put the URL in
@@michtyman1 may I ask what an url is?I'm old and useless.
URL is the address of a World Wide Web page. As in type a URL into a browser's address bar. I don't know what philip is talking about either but, there are ways to record what is going through your computers speakers ;)
@@BlindSniperz thank you for the information.
Just use a TH-cam ripper google it
Sounds like something from trout mask replica
Finally got around to listening to this. agreed. interesting.
Yeah sounding like that track from Woodstock and on the stones satanic majesties request among other sixties freak out stuff the Beatles got up to
Mothers of invention
This sounds like a group improvisation piece, not a Syd Barrett song.
...
I don't know how to respond to 3 dots...sorry... i'm old...
@@BlindSniperz 3 dots means perfect ...
Nick Mason, great!
Be sure to check my vids of Nick live on my main page. If you get a chance, go see and support him. Great show!
Is this recording post pink floyd?
I have to assume he was out of the band at this point and jamming with friends.
wonders me who played what on this one------any informations........
Sorry. I do not recall any information on the download link from the official CD. I believe I just plugged in the URL and maybe a password code and was asked where to save the download. I am not so sure it was Pink Floyd members on this. Syd seemed to have surrounded himself with many musically talented friends.
Unfortunately we may never know. There's talk of Glen Sweeney on drums. From the band, Third Ear Band. Cannot confirm.
I would still take that article with a grain of salt... "according to some accounts and a suggestion"
Edit: this was a reply to someone linking a Rolling Stone article.. said person and comments have disappeared from YT apparently
I think peregrine took from t-rex plays bongos on this.
... And I wouldn’t be surprised if Stephen Ross Porter aka Steve Peregrin Took aka “Tookie” aka “Shagrat” also played Electric bass guitar on this as well... In Tyrannosaurus Rex, Tookie also played bongos, African talking drums, tabla, finger cymbals, maracas, tambourine, kazoo, pixiphone... IN ADDITION to electric bass as well.
I baggsy no.17 on the likes! Loved Syd since 81, in and oot, or maybe a song Syd liked?! Ha!!Brilliant. Mikel.
VIAGRA BOYS better.
Wow, whats all this?
Syd's adventure into free form trippyness? It's been said the he did all the instruments while someone else is on drums/conga's. Definitely an experiment and I am glad it was captured to tape.
@@BlindSniperz There's no way Barrett played all or most of the instruments. For one thing, the bass guitar doesn't sound like Barrett's style, and I doubt Barrett had the chops to do those bass lines in the first place. The same can be said of the piano playing.
@@theadventuresofsupermom6343 Maybe so... hence the "it's been said". Kind of wish the remaining members or even EMI studio people would lay down the facts behind this. I had a guy denying that Syd was even on this. Guess he didn't read where I got this download. The CD had to be in my computers CD player to even get it. I'd just like to think he was melting into his guitar while doing this.
Hey, where''s syd?
Acid Brian
Which one's Brian?... it's all good man 😉
1) Is this from those early Peter Jenner produced solo session from spring/summer 1968 sessions? 2)What is the personnel?
I would say it's around his solo sessions
May 14th 1968. Same session as 'Lanky' & 1st takes of 'Golden Hair'. Pete Jenner producing. Rumoured to be Steve Took on percussion.
@@SomnambulistInternationale Thanks for confirming the info
Bruce jenner. His exercise music for the upcoming decathlon.
@@SomnambulistInternationale So it's actually Syd overdubbing himself on all other instruments - Piano, bass, guitar, drums?
Syd replaced door handles (at his moms house) with toys. When Floyd's band members finally got Syd to see a doctor 'shrink'. At the end of meeting Syd says to the doctor,'' But don't you think this is,"Syd's problem"? LMAO!! As if Syd was different person.
Not "as if." You think you are dannyhood7433? 🤣
it was the doc who said that ....to the rest of the band . Implying that they were all mad and that madness is relative .
Syd barret il vero genio del gruppo peccato che si è perso nel oblio di sé stesso.....
It's a bit of rambling cacophony for me really still It must stimulate the post modern ear
20 minutos de um cara brincando de fazer barulhinhos
Lanky look like
Oh by the way which one's Pink?
Roger Waters obviously
Syd
Pas le meilleur moment de Barrett....
Who plays bass?
check the other comments
and good luck.
??? Wer spielt hier 😉
Wer spielt hier mit wem ??? Ist das Syd Barrett ??
It's Syd with Steve Peregrine on the congas. That's about all anyone knows for sure.
???
His name was Rodger...flash of light .and for fecking sake..don't do so many things that can malfunction
I fail to see what is so great about this recording. It's aimless, amateurish noodling. It's sad that Syd's best days were behind him by 1968.
I once put a file of my nieces playing and labeled it Syd Barrett Unknown Studio session, and 90% of the comments were just like these.
@@LoyalOpposition HahahHahaa
If you think this is amature noodling, thank you for exposing how out of touch, boring, and grumpy you really are. I challenge you this. Just try and write this down on metered staff and you'd see how complex and genius this piece is. With insane timing changes and syncopation. How all the instruments work, it tells a story. It shows where syd was at in his soul. If you ever had any sort of psychedelic breakthrough into the otherside you could hear the mushrooms in this piece. To understand this you need to also understand playing an instrument because this is really just a masterwork painting without the use of a brush. Anything from 70s onward is just crap, trying to be what syd brought to the group in a failed attempt. Dark side couldnt hold a candle to this piece. If anything, I don't get the "fine tuned" corporate money grab crap with boring pentatonic guitar solos you say you'd rather listen to. This is what the record companies wish they could replicate but don't have a clue on what people really need and want. Instead they brain wash you with Taylor Swift, David Gilmore, and Phil Collins and the true visionaries never get the time of day. "Oh but it's not 4/4 timing with a catchy chorus and bridge. Get outta here with that 'i know music crap'
@@Kylegatzke1997 When did I ever say that i prefer listening to "fine tuned corporate money grab crap with boring pentatonic guitar solos"?
You fabricated that, and as for the rest of your rambling screed... it's pretty clear who is "out of touch, boring, and grumpy." Sheesh.
What a weirdo
