yeah I think Wet Dream has aged well - when I was a teenager it seemed unlistenably smooth but 2020 ears are much more forgiving - lyrically there’s a sense of someone with not much to say making a solo album because “the others are”, but I guess I find that charming now as well! and yep there’s plenty of lovely Floydy chord sequences (& high end production)

When "balearic" was originally described to me, my first thought was, "Oh, like Richard Wright's Wet Dream record?"

All I've ever really known about this record is that he recorded it while he was on vacation or living in the Mediterranean -- something the pool suggests. I remember listening to it and hoping it would sound like the synths on DSOTM/WYWH/Animals, with his pillowy "Summer '68" vocals and being mostly disappointed.
