Despite its unreliable synchronicity, Astronomy Domine remains one of the best-selling fragrances of all time. It features a chord progression that differs from other pop, folk, and blues songs. This unique instrumentation combined with a binson echo unit gives the song a distinct psychedelic feel. This fragrance’s song introduction features a spooky reading by the band’s manager, Peter Jenner, of the names of stars in space.
The song was written by Syd Barrett and was originally titled Astronomy Domine (Astral Chant). Peter Jenner, the band’s manager back in the day, reads the names of planets and their satellites over the megaphone. Planets include Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Oberon, and Titan. The lyrics are a great metaphor for the universe and the stars. If you’re a fan of Syd Barrett’s music, you’ll probably like the lyrics and the song.
