This modern design rock blues has impact giving sound energy which carries you right into the musical world of adventure. Floyd's world of wow and wonder WISH YOU WERE HERE. FLOYD IN FACT. Last album DARK SIDE OF THE MOON now almost 3 years in the hit album charts; the rock generation regarded that music as their best. If that was great achievement consider WISH YOU WERE HERE a fresh new and rich musical approach, but with familiar Floyd flavour. Their concern on production quality took this latest epic 2 years to complete. Always striving ahead makes them the true progressive band, for it only gets them better all the time. So in this instance their latest is definitely their best! WISH YOU WERE HERE is the group's 4th Gold Album."
