I remember rushing out to buy this album, I'd be 16 and had gotten into Pink Floyd in a big way. There are a lot who don't feel this is a Pink Floyd album but for me it is.
There is classic guitar work from Dave Gilmour and both Nick Mason and Richard Wright perform on the album and the following tour of which I was lucky enough to see twice.
Some of the songs feel like they are trying too hard to be Pink Floyd, however 'On the turning away' is a great song worthy of any Floyd album. If I need to get away from the world this is still the album I turn to, very relaxing and you seem to drift with it.
Well worth a listen.
