What is Saucerful of secrets : the Pink Floyd odyssey about?
Saucerful of Secrets is the first in-depth biography of this very private group. At the heart of the saga is Syd Barrett, the group's brilliant founder, whose public decline into shattered incoherence--attributable in part to his marathon use of LSD--is one of the tragedies of rock history. The making of Dark Side of the Moon and Floyd's other great albums is recounted in detail, as are the mounting of "The Wall"and the creation of the flying pigs, crashingplanes, "Mr. Screen" and the other elements of their spectacular stage shows. The book also explores the many battles between bass player/song writer Roger Waters and the rest of the group, leading up to Water's acrimonious departure for a solocareer in 1984 and his unsuccessful attempt to disolve the group he had left behind. Saucerful of Secrets is an electrifying account of this ground-breaking, mind-bending group, covering every period of their career fromearliest days to latest recordings. It is full ofrevealing information that will be treasured by all who love Pink Floyd's music.
