Two
very limited 7” singles featuring Syd Barrett/Pink Floyd covers!
Available at the Fruits De Mer / Mega Dodo joint gig at Putney's Half
Moon this Sunday! (24th
May)
This weekend's hottest
gig ticket is surely the Fruits De Mer/Mega Dodo all-dayer at
Putney's Half Moon. Aside from the stellar line-up, there will also
be ultra-desirable goodie bags for early arrivals. If that wasn't
enough there'll also be a chance to get your your eager mitts on some
other sonic items. Two of which being this pair of limited edition 7”
singles featuring contemporary acts covering early Pink Floyd/Syd
Barrett tracks. Although they've been issued before on FDM's
Momentary Lapse Of Reason double CD (available to “club members”
only), this is their first airing on vinyl. Limited to only 300
copies each, chances are they won't be around for long.
Momentary One
features is marked out by it's sumptuous female vocals, while
Momentary Two is a Syd special. Floyd fans will love all seven
tunes as there's nary a duff track among them. If I was pushed to
pick a favourite I'd probably go for Max Kinghorn-Mills version of
Dark Globe, dreamy, wistful and melancholic. It had me searching out
Barrett's original version with fresh ears. But hey, that's just me.
Track down this pair of 7”s if you can and pick your own favourite,
they're all worthy!
