NEW Alternative Version of Wish You Were Here FULL Album ~ Pink Floyd, Roger Waters by niKos Fusion

Wish You Were Here is the ninth studio album by the English rock band Pink Floyd, released on 12 September 1975 through Harvest Records in the UK and Columbia Records in the US, their first for the label. Based on material Pink Floyd composed while performing in Europe, Wish You Were Here was recorded over numerous sessions throughout 1975 at EMI Studios (now Abbey Road Studios) in London. The album’s lyrical themes concern alienation and criticism of the music business. The bulk of the album is taken up by “Shine On You Crazy Diamond“, a nine-part tribute to founding member Syd Barrett, who left the band seven years earlier due to his deteriorating mental health. Barrett coincidentally visited during the album’s production in 1975. Upon its release, Wish You Were Here received mixed reviews from critics, who found its music uninspiring and inferior to the band’s previous work. It has retrospectively received critical acclaim, hailed as one of the greatest albums of all time and one of the band’s finest works. It was cited by keyboardist Richard Wright and guitarist David Gilmour as their favourite Pink Floyd album. Here we have re-imagined the whole album with much care and respect to the originality of the song material and overall sound. With this album’s 50th anniversary soon approaching we believe it is a new exciting and refreshing interpretation and a fitting tribute to this exceptional band and album ~ niKos Fusion
