Description

"Originally released in 1975, this digitally re-mastered edition of ‘Wish You Were Here’ is an absolute joy to behold.

After the huge success of ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’, there was a lot of pressure for the four members of Pink Floyd to come up with an appropriate follow-up. They did one better and recorded what is perhaps collectively their best album ever!

The lead track, “Shine on You Crazy Diamond”, is a beautifully composed, sprawling and haunting piece of music with lyrics loosely based on the antics of original Pink Floyd vocalist / guitarist Syd Barrett (who mysteriously briefly appeared in the studio while the band were recording the album).

The rockier “Have a Cigar” is a cynical stab at greedy corporates in the music industry (“Which one is Pink?”) and features Roy Harper on vocals. The remaining songs, “Welcome to the Machine”, and the title cut, “Wish You Were Here” are two of the Floyd's best pieces ever, which every self-respecting rock fan should know by heart.

Dave Gilmour and Rick Wright's playing in particular, are so full of feeling and mournful bliss that you can almost feel yourself drifting away whilst listening… ‘Wish You Were Here’ is superb indeed!"
