Effervescing Elephant
"An effervescing elephant with tiny eyes and great big trunk..."
From time to time I record some of my favorite songs from other artists. You can find other examples of material I have covered elsewhere on my blog.
One of my favorite and one who I find to be a very influential artist on the music world is Syd Barrett. Syd was a member of Pink Floyd during the '60's and wrote most of the material that you hear on some of their early works including 'Astronomy Domine', 'Arnold Layne', 'See Emily Play', and 'Lucifer Sam' to name a few. Syd left Pink Floyd in 1969 to pursue a solo career and one song that I like from that period is 'Effervescing Elephant'.
Recorded in early '92 at Berks Street Studios, 'Effervescing Elephant' took less than an hour to record. This is my tribute to the Crazy Diamond, Syd Barrett.
