A collection of covers written by Pink Floyd's original guitarist, vocalist and primary songwriter Syd Barrett and played by young indie rock artists. The songs featured come from Pink Floyd's singles; the albums The Piper at the Gates of Dawn and A Saucerful of Secrets; and Barrett's two solo albums: The Madcap Laughs and Barrett.

Although Barrett's productive recording career had only lasted from 1967 though 1970, his music had a great influence on the development of psychedelic rock, alternative rock and indie rock music. Not many Pink Floyd fans know about this album.

Yes, this is really a hidden gem. Thanks so much for making me aware of it! Some of the songs sound better than the original which is really rare.
