1001 Albums Summary

Didn't get a chance to really analyze but I was listening to this while cooking some pork tenderloin. It had me moving out there. Best sear on pork I’ve ever done and I couldn’t have done it without David Byrne as my companion throughout.

The soundscape takes me to a post-apocalyptic world very similar to Terminator 2. Wish You Were Here brings the human spirit back to life in this destitute world that Pink Floyd creates sonically. The acoustic guitar juxtaposes the wailing electric and synth from the rest of the album. The final track comes to a beautiful end as if to remind us that the sun will rise once again. All bright, sparkly and life bringing.

I think I would like it better if I was on my motorcycle on the highway. Big ol’ chopper.
