I picked Barrett solely because I find it difficult to listen to The Madcap Laughs. To me, it's a disturbing chronicle of Syd's mental breakdown, and because of that, I rarely listen to any tracks from it.

Really, Enish?

Try listening to Oar by Skip Spence, if you want a real taste of haunting lunacy.
