Excerpt: The Madcap Laughs -The title of the album comes from a line in the song Octopus. After leaving the group, Barrett began recording sessions with former Pink Floyd-turned-Syd Barrett manager Peter Jenner in May 1968. Although the sessions were brief, the project was abandoned for almost a year while Barrett spent much of the year as a recluse. In April 1969, Malcolm Jones took over the project and Barrett began working on newer material, while reworking the 1968 recordings. Session musicians, namely, members of The Soft Machine, as well as Humble Pie drummer Jerry Shirley were also called in to augment Barrett's songs. It is still a mystery why Jones abandoned production responsibilities, at the end of May, so soon after having assumed them. Jones' recollections of the sessions are that he and Barrett got on well together and had in fact completed half of the album before the new producers took over. Roger Waters and David Gilmour were in the process of completing Pink Floyd's ambitious Ummagumma album when they got involved with The Madcap Laughs that July and helped Barrett finish his album, "in a two-day sprint" according to Rick Sanders, author of Pink Floyd (Futura Publications, 1976). The album featured a rather unorthodox recording process, in which Syd would provide a backing track of his own singing accompanied by acoustic guitar, over which the session musicians would overdub the rest of the arrangement. However, Syd's playing and singing were highly erratic and unpredictablehe skipped or added beats and bars seemingly...http://booksllc.net/?id=1205045 ... Read more

Extrait : David Jon Gilmour CBE, musicien britannique, né le 6 mars 1946 à Grantchester, près de Cambridge, est le guitariste, chanteur et un des compositeurs du groupe Pink Floyd. David Gilmour a également été nommé Meilleur joueur de Fender de tous les temps par un sondage effectué par le magazine spécialisé Guitarist, arrivant en tête devant d'autres musiciens de légende tels que Jimi Hendrix et Eric Clapton. Il est considéré aujourd'hui par de nombreux spécialistes et critiques de la guitare électrique, "comme l'un des plus grands guitaristes du monde." David Gilmour est né à Cambridge, en Angleterre. Son père, Douglas Gilmour, était guide dans la zoologie à l'Université de Cambridge, et sa mère, Sylvia, était rédactrice de film et enseignante. David Gilmour rejoint le groupe Pink Floyd à la demande de Nick Mason, le batteur, en janvier 1968, afin d'épauler sur scène le chanteur-guitariste Syd Barrett, un ami d'enfance avec qui il a commencé à jouer de la guitare, et dont le comportement devient de plus en plus erratique. En avril 1968, David Gilmour finit par remplacer définitivement Syd Barrett qui, victime de troubles mentaux, est devenu incapable de jouer et de suivre le groupe. Il deviendra l'un des facteurs majeurs du succès de Pink Floyd à la fin des années 1960 et dans les années 1970 par sa qualité de jeu à la guitare, et par son chant. Jusqu'à l'album The Wall (1979), Gilmour alterne essentiellement les compositions et les parties de chant du groupe avec le bassiste Roger Waters. Les rapports entre Gilmour et Waters se détérioraient de plus en plus, jusqu'à l'album The Final Cut, ...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Excerpt: "See Emily Play" was the second single recorded by British psychedelic rock group Pink Floyd. It was written by original frontman Syd Barrett and recorded on 23 May 1967. The single featured "Scarecrow" as its B-side. It later appeared on the compilations Relics (1971), Works (1983), Shine On (1992), Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd (2001) and The Piper at the Gates of Dawn 40th Anniversary Edition (2007). The song is included in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll list. The song was reportedly about a girl named Emily, whom Barrett claimed he saw while sleeping in the woods after taking a hallucinogenic drug. Barrett later stated that the story about sleeping in the woods and seeing a girl before him was made up "...all for publicity." According to A Saucerful of Secrets: The Pink Floyd Odyssey, by Nicholas Schaffner, Emily is the Honourable Emily Young (b. 13 March 1951), daughter of Wayland Hilton Young, 2nd Baron Kennet, and nicknamed "the psychedelic schoolgirl" at the UFO Club. An article in Mojo magazine called "See the Real Emily" supposedly shows a picture of Barrett's Emily. Barrett, reportedly, was not happy with the final studio cut. He protested against its release, which producer Norman Smith speculated was based on Barrett's fear of commercialism. It was during sessions for the song that David Gilmour became a frequent visitor to the studi...http://booksllc.net/?id=1915200 ... Read more

Excerpt: Fender Esquire Syd Barrett (6 January 1946 7 July 2006), born Roger Keith Barrett, was an English singer, songwriter, guitarist and artist. He is most remembered as a founding member of psychedelic/progressive rock band Pink Floyd, providing major musical and stylistic direction in their early work, although he left the group in 1968 amidst speculations of mental illness exacerbated by heavy drug use.

Barrett was born in the English city of Cambridge to a middle-class family. His father, Arthur Max Barrett, was a prominent pathologist, and both he and his wife, Winifred, encouraged the young Roger (as he was known then) in his music. When Barrett was three years old, his family moved to 183, Hills Road. After his brothers and sisters left home, his mother rented out r...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=4740559 ... Read more

Mit ihrer Musik und der klanglichen und visuellen Gestaltung ihrer Platten und Bühnenauftritte schuf sie, begleitet von großem kommerziellen Erfolg, einen unverwechselbaren und völlig neuartigen Stil. Weltweit wurden mehr als 300 Millionen Alben von Pink Floyd verkauft. Unter der Regie des Sängers und Gitarristen Syd Barrett gehörte die Band zunächst zur britischen Psychedelic-Rock-Bewegung. Nach dem drogenbedingten Ausstieg des Frontmanns entwickelten die verbleibenden Mitglieder einen eigenständigen Stil mit Einflüssen aus Progressive Rock, Blues, Jazz und klassischer Musik. Nach einem letzten gemeinsamen Auftritt im Jahr 2005 und dem Tod des Keyboarders Richard Wright 2008 sind zukünftige Aktivitäten der verbliebenen Mitglieder David Gilmour und Nick Mason als Pink Floyd weitgehend unwahrscheinlich. Das letzte Studioalbum der Band mit begleitender Tour wurde bereits 1994 veröffentlicht. Die Wurzeln der Band gehen zurück auf die Schulzeit von Syd Barrett, Roger Waters und David Gilmour in Cambridge. Barrett und Waters besuchten das Hills Road Sixth Form College, Gilmour die Perse School in derselben Straße. Barrett und Gilmour trafen sich in den Mittagspausen zum Gitarrespielen und gaben vereinzelt Straßenkonzerte. Zu einer Bandgründung kam es allerdings noch nicht. 1963 ging Barrett nach London. Gilmour gründete die Band Joker's Wild und zog ab 1966 mit einer weiteren Band relativ erfolglos durch Spanien und Frankreich. 1...http://booksllc.net/?l=de&id=74126 ... Read more

Extrait : John Maynard Keynes (5 juin 1883 - 21 avril 1946) est un économiste britannique de notoriété mondiale, reconnu comme le fondateur de la macroéconomie moderne, pour lequel les marchés ne s'équilibrent pas automatiquement ce qui justifie le recours à des politiques économiques conjoncturelles. Le keynésianisme, la nouvelle économie keynésienne, le néo-keynésianisme ou le post-keynésianisme plus interventionniste sont des concepts et des courants de pensée issus de l'œuvre de Keynes. Considéré comme l'un des plus influents théoriciens de l'économie du siècle, Keynes, en tant que conseiller officiel ou officieux de nombreux hommes politiques, fut l'un des acteurs principaux des accords de Bretton Woods. Il a aussi été un auteur à succès avec l'écriture d'un livre sur le traité de Versailles intitulé Les Conséquences économiques de la paix publié en 1919 et la rédaction d'articles pour les journaux. Sa première somme théorique fut le Traité sur la monnaie, mais son œuvre majeure est sans conteste la Théorie générale de l'emploi, de l'intérêt et de la monnaie (1936) , qui permit de combler un manque en fournissant notamment aux nouveaux libéraux anglais une théorie économique a...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...

Chapters: Syd Barrett, Grace Slick, Skip Spence, Roky Erickson, Milan the Leather Boy, Jorma Kaukonen, Paul Kantner, Glenn Ross Campbell, Scott Liss, Matthew J. Tow, Marty Balin, Daniel O'sullivan, Cary Grace, Ruthann Friedman, Joe Siano. Excerpt:Cary Grace is an American recording artist, singer , songwriter , musician , and record producer . She plays guitar and analogue synthesizers. Her music is strongly influenced by classic British psychedelic and progressive rock as well as space rock , but spans a wide range of genres, from folk rock to slow cosmic blues, to heavier guitar rock. It can at times be reminiscent of early 1970's Pink Floyd . Some of her music has been compared sonically to Hawkwind and other space rock groups, because of the use of electronic instruments. Her writing places much emphasis on meaningful, intellectual lyrics, in addition to creating interesting atmosphere and sonic textures, and showcasing musicianship through extended improvised jams. She produces her own music, working with various band line-ups and collaborators, and focuses on presenting each of her albums as a complete art form. She is known for her use of unusual production elements, homemade instruments, vintage synthesizers , including the EMS VCS 3 , and analogue tape effects. In 2004, Cary released her first album, consisting mainly of singer-songwriter, acoustic, folk-rock, and Americana material. It was recorded in Nashville with local musicians, and Vince Gill made a guest appearance, playing mandolin on two tracks. She moved to the United Kingdom in 2005, to pursue a different musical direction. Since the move she has released three full-length albums and an EP. For her most recent album, Perpetual Motion , Graham Clark (violinist) , appeared as a special guest for some extended improvisa... ... Read more
