“Wish You Were Here” is one of Pink Floyd’s most classic albums. It contains some of Floyd’s most beautiful and elaborate imagery, accompanied by great musical texture and production. The album also pays homage to Floyd’s first singer, Syd Barrett, in “Shine On You Crazy Diamond,” Barrett being the “Crazy Diamond.”
The songs and album as a whole tell a lot about the band without lacking their fantastic musical genius. This remaster of the album brings it to a whole new level, and making the magic of the songs sound even better.
