5 stars I agree with all of you that this is indeed an essential album not just for prog fans but for music enthusiasts in general. I prefer earlier stuff by Pink Floyd, it being more experimental, phsychedelic, crazy and dissonant. But this album has a great balance between normal music and strange noises. But as many of Pink Floyd's albums, this one has something hidden, something that some people think it's coincidence, but I really dont think so, being it a LOT of coincidence. And that is, the great similarity the order of the music in this album to the chronological order of the movie: "The Wizard of Oz". If you dont believe me, play this album along with the movie...you have to start until the MGM lion roars for the second time at the introduction (or third, I dont quite remember), and you'll find lot's of things that make you think what was going on with this guys' heads. One thing really amazing is the part of "The Great Gig in the Sky", this is the part of the great tornado that hits Dorothy's house. The tornado is the Great Gig in the Sky, and also when the song is about to finish, so is the tornado, you hear Clare Torry's voice calming down and so is the tornado. There another part where you hear helicopters from the record and you can see Dorothy looking up at the sky as if lloking for the helicopters!! This is quite something, I dont really think its a coincidence but, try it and see what you think.
