Loistavan DSOTM-albumin jälkeen vuonna 1975 Pink Floyd julkaisi albumin "Wish You Were Here", jolta löytyy Yhtyeen yksi kaikkien aikojen hienoimmista kappaleista, "Shine On You Crazy Diamond".
Tämäkin paketti sisältää originaalien, remasteroitujen miksauksien lisäksi mm. ennen julkaisemattoman 5.1-miksauksen ja tietenkin marmorikuulat...
En ole ehtinyt vielä kyseiseen laitokseen kovin syvällisesti tutustumaan, joten suosittelen lukemaan Joe Marchesen hienon artikkelin, joka löytyy täältä.
Sen verran olen kuitenkin kuunnellut, että tämä kuuluu ehdottomasti kategoriaan monikanavaääni ja jatkaa Yhtyeen edellisellä levyllä aloittamaa kuunnelmallista "quad-mix" -sarjaa. Sääli, että tuo 70-luvulla studioissa käytetty tekniikka ei sittemmin innostanut muita musiikin tekijöitä julkaisemaan äänitteitä quad-formaatissa. Olen varma, että jos sisältöä olisi tullut, tilanne olisi tänä päivänä hieman toinen...
