Details: Amazon.ca A concise, if somewhat haphazardly sequenced, introduction to Pink Floyd’s first era (1967-73 on EMI’s Harvest label), this collection documents the band’s evolution from their creative force Syd Barrett’s tinkly psych-pop (represented here by the standout singles « Arnold Layne » and « See Emily Play ») to the ubiquitous, world-beating strains of Dark Side of the Moon’s « Brain Damage » and « Eclipse. » It’s a decidedly different band than the one familiar to fans of The Wall, The Final Cut, and its post-Roger Waters incarnations, one with an experimental bent that fueled an eclectic mix of driving space-rock (« One of These Days »), Roy Harper-esque folksiness (« Fearless »), and free-form sound collages (« Several Species »). Ironically, this is also the Pink Floyd for whom younger, alt-rock schooled music fans may find an unlikely affinity. –Jerry McCulley
