Richard Wright, keyboardist for Floyd, passed away in 2008. This album, probably their last non-Greatest Hits album, was assembled and re-worked from material when they were experimenting with what would become The Division Bell.
18 tracks, 53 minutes, and only one song with vocals. Very atmospheric. To me it seems to run from the Wish You Were Here period onward. The material seems very familiar, and very comfortable. Like I said, very atmospheric. This could be a good album for background music for a dinner party.
Anyway, recommended. It's available as vinyl, a CD, a CD with a video disc, and of course all sorts of digital download. The physical editions are in an interesting booklet that's very nicely produced with session photos with Wright.
And for whatever reason, I can't post the image of the cover, so just follow the link to see it on Wikipedia.
