Early sessions were a difficult and arduous process but it was Roger Waters' idea to split the centrepiece track " Shine On You Crazy Diamond" in two, and join each half with three new compositions. The album explores themes of absence, the music business, and former band-mate Syd Barrett's mental decline. Inspired by material they composed while performing across Europe, it was recorded over numerous sessions at London's Abbey Road Studios.
