Über diesen Titel

 In this first installment of our conversation with Greg Taylor, Ian Priston explores what it means to remember a cultural moment from the inside, not as nostalgia, but as lived perception. Greg reconstructs his introduction to Pink Floyd through a series of encounters: a poster on King's Road, the underground press, the first shock of a single, and the genuinely unfamiliar experience of the Floyd's early vision performed amid kinetic sculpture and liquid light.

Rather than treating Syd Barrett era Floyd as a set of canonical artefacts, Greg's incredible recollections move between the tangible (equipment, ticketing, sight-lines and the physical layout of venues) as well as the interpretative (Barrett's “painterly” logic in sound, the band's rejection of conventional stage charisma and the early tension between pop, mainstream visibility and avant-garde intent).

Part 1 ends with the story still in motion, moving towards Greg's attendance of a five-man Floyd Concert in January 1968 and the next phase of the group's evolution. Part 2 arrives next month, so stay tuned!
