In an interview with illustrator Gerald Scarfe on the DVD of this mammoth project, the artist states that he and Pink Floyd's Roger Waters were very similar, as "beneath the façade they like to see the rot". Nothing in pop music is more about shining facades and inner rot than Waters' magnum opus, the 1979 concept double-album The Wall...

If you have access to main players and master tapes, your "classic album" documentary is home and dry: particularly if it concerns an artefact as revered as Wish You Were Here. Eagle Vision are in a bingo-bango situation here - scoring the double coup of not just peering forensically beneath Wish's skirt, but also rekindling a genuine appetite for the album that grew up in Dark Side's monolithic shadow...

This documentary features commentary from Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Nick Mason and even a few vintage clips from the late Rick Wright as it tells the story of the making of 1975's Wish You Were Here. The album's overall theme of absence grew out of Water's "Shine on You Crazy Diamond," the offering's centerpiece that was inspired by what happened to Floyd founding member and acid casualty, the late Syd Barrett...

Summary: Ambitious, but not necessarily momentous. 2 of 2 thought this review was well written Ummagumma brings out a different side to Pink Floyd, revealing a new direction- a more artistic one. When Syd Barrett left the group, he not only sequestered his musical contributions, but stripped Pink Floyd of an identity. The Piper At The Gates Down was Syd's album, and its Psychedelic content was the foundation of which Pink Floyd stood upon...

The Wall is Pink Floyd's greatest contradiction. The 1979 double album signifies both the band's most ambitious accomplishment - a tyrannical, two-act spectacle of profound proportions - and its most personal, detailing the English quartet's fatal estrangement from its audience and each other. The latter feat serves as a focal point for this seven-disc Immersion box...

Sound: This compilation album was released in 1971, and almost all of the content here is great, containing some singles, B-sides, and relatively obscure songs. However, even if wish to give this a ten, I can't because they didn't released all the B-sides so you could own something similar to The Beatles' "Past Masters" collections, which put all the B-sides available in two precious CDs...
