Aren't the Japanese the ultimate fans? The late leader of early Pink Floyd, Syd Barrett may have been weird, quirky and whimsical but he could never possibly imagine how much the Japanese loved him… for his craziness, of course. Barrett wrote the quintessential riff-jamming track, Interstellar Overdrive. When you hear the fuzz-drenched version here, you are not prepared for a second version, the 25-minute live jam on CD 2 (yep, this is a double album). Not stopping there, Aural Fit, king of psychedelic noise in Tokyo, is so inspired that he writes Sea Slug, in the spirit of Interstellar Overdrive. The key Barrett chestnuts are here - See Emily Play and Arnold Layne (Pink Floyd's first single). But no Barrett tribute would be complete without Floyd's oswn tribute song to their late leader (who died July 7 2006), Shine On You Crazy Diamond. Here, T Aoki from psychedelic band, Up-Tight, does a heavily accented cover. The wildness, experimental anarchy and sheer noise are all here. The madcap is laughing alright. (7) - Philip Cheah
