WISH YOU WERE HERE

Of all Floyds classic 70's albums this for me is the most fluent and accessible to the masses. It flows as one piece of music and you are compelled to stay with it, appreciated more of course on CD. The album does not have any mediochrety although Welcome to the machines may be more difficult to absorb on the first few listens than the rest of the LP. Production is tight and heavy and more acoustic than Dark Side whose sound was sculptured by Alan Parsons. Fans of Gilmours playing will appreciate him the most on this Album. It would be more representative of the quality of this LP if it was a little higher up on the top 20 list on this web site and not umpteen places below Foxtrot and Nursery Chryme both of which of course deserve to be up there with the best. A subliminal piece of progressive rock from start to finish.
