On Monday, keyboardist Richard Wright became the second founding member of Pink Floyd to pass away, following Syd Barrett’s passing in July of 2006. Though most people think of either the troubled Syd Barrett, or Roger Waters and David Gilmour, who’s fueding lead to the band’s ultimate demise, but Wright’s keyboards were a major part of what defined Pink Floyd’s sound, and the part that I’m personally most able to get lost in. So, in Wright’s memory, I’m including “Astonomy Domine” from the debut album Piper at the Gates of Dawn because Wright shared lead vocals with Barrett, and “The Great Gig In the Sky” from Dark Side of the Moon, because it was composed solely by Wright, and is also one of my favourite all time Pink Floyd songs. Enjoy them.
