One glance at the track listing will tell the
enterprising Floyd fan that there really is only one reason to buy this
collection.
Consuming the first ten tracks, the 1967-1969 BBC
material is now so familiar that even if one missed Great Dane's almost
all-encompassing.
The Live Experience double, there's no reason not to
have this material spread across two or three other
discs, while the official Singles As and Bs album, which is also repeated here,
was more conveniently duplicated onto a mid-'90s
Relics copy (and is, in any case, still openly available in the Shine On box).
So that leaves just the semilegendary "Merry Xmas Song," a 1969-ish novelty
outtake which has been loating jovially around for a
few years now, and still doesn't add much to the Floydian legend- assuming it
really is Floyd.
It has been questioned.
All of which leaves All Movement looking a little redundant, but wait! As
collectors items go, it is, but in a world where there are still Floydish
novices, wondering what on earth all the Barrett-era
fuss is about, this is a startlingly strong compilation,
pulling together some of the band's most powerful
early performances, together with a clutch of songs which remind us of the day
when the band wasn't only the Great White Hope of
the psychedelic underground, they were also a
challenging pop band as well.
It's a portrait of schizophrenia which even Dark
Side of the Moon cannot challenge; indeed, amidst
the myriad Barrett-shaped theories which circulate surrounding that album's true
inspiration, spare a thought for the Floyd
themselves, the world's first Top 40 spacemen.
That kind of dichotomy would be sufficient to send
anybody over the edge.
