Blue Light Night (Syd Barrett album) (An Alternate Pink Floyd)

Blue Night Light is the twenty-first studio album by the British singer-songwriter, Syd Barrett. It was released worldwide on 31 March 2005.

The album was recorded during his move to Brazil, in São Paulo, in addition to sessions for the predecessor album, Moonshine Lightning.

The album's cover is the Estação da Sé, localized in São Paulo, one of the monuments that most impressed Syd.

The brazilian progressive rock band, Recordando o Vale das Maçãs, helped Syd on the production of the album, with the leader, Fernando Pacheco, sharing vocals with Syd in "He's a Blaze/Pôr do Sol".

Blue Night Light received generally good reviews, reaching #1 position at the Brazilian Charts, #7 position at the Billboard 200, and the #2 position at the UK Official Album Charts.

Syd released three songs as singles, "He's a Blaze/Pôr do Sol", "Blue Light Night", and "Amazium". He's a Blaze/Pôr do Sol is used as an encore at Barrett's gigs.
