Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here (early 90s pressing, black plastic wrapper, with robot hands, cards etc)

A bit crackly in between tracks (adds analogue atmospherics) but boy does this album reach back to my musical roots and pluck them from the ground, interring them anew in more fecund tilth. First listen in quite a few years, and an update for the audio memory banks with a definite 'extra layers of detail' reaction since the summer of upgrades (DR, Kore and new XX2). Wish you were here?!

1996 - Japanese issue...

Enjoyed listening to New Order yesterday, so I thought I'd return. This 1986 album (Brotherhood) is their most underrated, IMO and contains the sublime "All Day Long", in which Lou Reed, Prokofiev and Ennio Morricone are all thrown into the blender along with the most heart-tugging, enormous bass (from Hooky) ever committed to tape. Original Factory UK CD - with the metallic insert, no less!
