Pink Floyd - Relics (1971 - Rock) [Flac 24-192]
Relics Review by Andy Kellman
Since Relics is a compilation and not a regular studio album, it tends to be overlooked when
thought of as one of Pink Floyd's better releases.
It might not be regarded as a classic psychedelic masterpiece in the manner of The Piper at
the Gates of Dawn, and it certainly won't ever achieve the multiple platinum status of Dark
Side of the Moon, but it's a pretty good place to start with the band's early catalog.
Originally issued in 1971, Relics culls from the band's first five singles (two A-sides and
three B-sides, including the non-album pop classics "See Emily Play" and "Arnold Layne" and
picks album material that capitalizes on the band's versatility while making it a thoroughly
palatable listen.
From Piper, you get the goofy childishness of "Bike" and the mesmerizing "Interstellar
Overdrive," one of the band's trademark instrumental freak-outs; "The Nile Song," taken from
the More soundtrack, is one of the heaviest songs the band recorded.
A little bit of everything that made early Pink Floyd can be found here.
Without a doubt, the disc is an essential part of the band's discography, not to be disregarded
due to its overlap with studio album material.
