The perfectly-complementing high vocal harmony to both Barrett and Gilmour and the seminal trip-music keyboardist. I always appreciated his sense of texture and depth, which stood in contrast to the noodly keyboard stylings that were so popular during the prog era when Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here and Animals came out.
