Not much introduction needed for this magic album. Vinilísssimo proudly presents one of the most important cult albums of the 20th century. "I wanted it to be a whole thing that people would listen to all the way through with everything related and balanced, the tempos and moods off-setting each other, and I hope that's what it sounds like," Syd Barrett, 1971. "Listening to the long-player four decades on, there's no doubt that, for all of its fractured fragility, it does indeed possess a unified quality. In fact, The Madcap Laughs is an immersive experience, dragging the listener into a world of tangled emotions and battered sound. Hope and fear, joy and dread, loathing and longing, whimsy and reality -- all of these contrasting sentiments and emotions manifest themselves, animating an album that continues to be felt." --Phil Alexander / MOJO.
