Incredible album. So clean and well produced. Ahead of its time by light years! Some bands have the ability to transcend time, Floyd held the future in their hands with such amazing albums as Wish You Were Here. Its hard to believe this album will sound dated in 100 years let alone today. How did they do it? Its a question Ive often pondered. Like the classical greats Mozart, Bach, Brahms... Pink Floyd made a mark on history in their particular musical genre as well. This is a must have for any collection. Music this miraculous should never fade away. I have a strong feeling it wont...
