Reviews Customer Reviews for Relics      A Great Complimation Of Early Floyd Songs      Rating:      good complimation=great songs= you buy now thats all that needs to be said about this cd buy today people if you love psychdellic music like me     Customer Reviews for Relics Cd      enjoy a masterpiece when you hear it      Rating:      An album that takes the psychedelic style of the early days of Pink Floyd and makes memorable pop songs out of them. That quite possibly places the band (and this album) on the same level as the Beatles Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. Do you agree? You should, because it's true! Relics is probably even better than the Piper at the Gates of Dawn. It's not perfect because of the song "Bike" but besides that one, you have a mighty fine collection of late 60's psychedelic gems. Editorial Reviews for Relics Audio Cd      Amazon.com      This compilation and "greatest hits" package has the odd distinction of being released well before the band hit its stadium-filling prime in the mid-to-late '70s. This album essentially bridges the considerable gap between original leader Syd Barrett's baroque psychedelic pop-single bent (exemplified here by the band's first chart hit "See Emily Play" and the cross-dressing mini-epic "Arnold Layne," both stellar singles left off the band's debut album) and the more ponderous musical pretensions of Roger Waters, the band's de facto leader after mental illness sidelined Barrett early on. It's a good introduction to the band's foundations for Floyd novices, and the inclusion of the early singles and two early outtakes ("Julia Dream" and "Biding My Time") make it a must for aficionados. --Jerry McCulley
