Along with DJ Romes and Wild Child, Madlib formed the Lootpack in their hometown of Oxnard. The trio made their debut on tha Alkaholiks’ 21 and Over in 1993. They continued doing work for tha Alkaholiks and other artists before releasing their full-length Soundpieces: Da Antidote six years later. The album earned solid reviews but went largely unnoticed. Madlib did not, however. After hooking up with Los Angeles DJ Peanut Butter Wolf, Madlib did a lot of production for Wolf’s Stones Throw label. In 1999 the label released Quasimoto’s astonishing The Unseen LP. Doubling as himself and his alter ego Quasimoto, Madlib handled vocals and production duties on the album, a huge critical success.

Syd Barrett Flies Away

artinprison — Wed, 12 Jul 2006 12:48:10 +0000

Syd Barrett, the co-founding member of Pink Floyd, has died.Barrett died at home in Cambridgeshire, aged 60, on Friday (7.7.2006).

He’s regarded as one of the most influential figures of the 1960s rock and roll scene, inspiring artists like The Beach Boys and The Beatles and leading a counter culture rebellion against mainstream society.

Pink Floyd founder Syd Barret though will be remembered as much for his prolific drug taking as for his experimental music.He appeared to define the 1960s expression “acid casualty”, and ended his life a virtual hermit.

A spokesperson for Pink Floyd has cofirmed he passed away from health complications caused by his diabetes. Barrett also suffered from painful stomach ulcers.

The spokesperson has revealed there will be a small, private funeral for family and close friends.

Pink Floyd released a joint statement last night (11.07.06) expressing their grief.

It read: “Syd was the guiding light of the early band line-up and leaves a legacy which continues to inspire.”

Barrett founded the legendary rock band with Roger Waters, Nick Mason and Rick Wright in 1965.

The pioneering musician – who was born Roger Keith Barrett, but was given the nickname Syd as a teenager – was the band’s guitarist and wrote many of their early songs, including the hit singles ‘Arnold Layne’ and ‘See Emily Play’.

Their debut album ‘The Piper at the Gates of Dawn’ was released in 1967.

However, during his time in the band Barrett’s extensive LSD use brought on mental health problems, and he left the group in 1968.

He was replaced by David Gilmour and five years later Pink Floyd released their most famous and successful album ‘Dark Side of the Moon’.

Barrett released two solo albums, ‘The Madcap Laughs’ and ‘Barrett’, but then shied away from the music industry, becoming a virtual recluse.

He was often seen around his hometown of Cambridge, Britain, cycling or walking to the local shop.

In 1975, Barrett arrived at the Abbey Road recording studios unannounced and watched Pink Floyd record the song ‘Shine on You Crazy Diamond’, a track written about him.

In his later years, while living alone in his late-mother’s semi-detached house in Cambridge, Barrett became an avid gardener and painted large abstract works of art on canvas.
