Pink Floyd's Richard Wright, forgotten genius?

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.
