5 stars What to do after such a masterpiece of magnificence as Dark Side Of The Moon? You could live as a Rock and Roll star everyday of your life or do another masterpiece and that's what Pink Floyd did with Wish You Were Here. 'Shine on Your Crazy Diamond' opens with one of the finest introductions of Prog Rock history, the mother of Octavarium. Wright and Gilmour combine perfectly, Waters sings with an emotion that touches our heart and Mason play what you have to play ... just a perfect piece. 'Welcome to the Machine' is one of the most groundbreakings songs I've listened to Floyd, the incessant rhythm of the synthesizer that plays Wright, Water's bass and Gilmour's wonderful guitar and his voice creates an atmosphere almost perfect . After two menacing, beautiful and disturbing songs .. we get 'Have a Cigar' to remind us of the roots of Blues music of Pink Floyd ... Roy Harper is fantastic. The title track needs no introduction, the sublime melody that Waters and Gilmour are removed along with Dave's voice lead us toward the end of the album ... the second part of 'Shine On', which is personally my favorite all components of the band look: Wright takes precious sounds of his keyboards, Gilmour plays guitar as if his life depended on it, Mason good as usual with the drums and Waters shines on bass and with his emotional voice. Definetly, a masterpiece.
