Looks like Syd has an official site now. I think it went live in the last few days.

Excellent! I love the art section in the gallery!

Interesting too that the site is © 2008 One Fifteen Limited. David Gilmour/Pink Floyd's management company these days.

Indeed. Perhaps they have taken over managing Barrett's business estate. I wonder who managed it before?

[J Ed]

the biography is pretty classy, explaining why Syds music is significant without once mentioning the words drugs or insanity
and the art gallery is nice too, its a shame he destroyed so many of his paintings once he was done with them
I notice however in the discography they dont list the Tonight Lets All Make Love in London soundtrack, perhaps because its on a different record label?
I think that one is the best example of the long improvisational soundscapes that are being described in the biography

Is Gilmour a good friend or what??? He knows true talent when he sees it!! Ask my friends in Tel-Aviv!!

[Keith Jordan]

I did a news story on it.

I asked Pink Floyd's manager when it went live and he said yesterday.

It's a nice site actually. Like J Ed said, it's good that the site is emphasising his talent rather than the more tabloid friendly drugs/insanity/life after PF part. I think the artistic part of Syd's life has been forgotten to a certain extent. I hope they've got photos of the paintings he destroyed - I'd like to see more of them.

FINALLY!!!!

I always wanted to change the official Echoes site to have a link to all FIVE members of Pink Floyd.

Nice site.
I am very pleased with the design.

[In love with David G]

I'm a bit dissapointed in the photo section. I hope they will post more soon!
