   Roger Waters: "When we got into the studio January '75, we started recording and it got very laborious and tortured, and everybody seemed to be very bored by the whole thing. We pressed on regardless of the general ennui for a few weeks and then things came to a bit of a head. I felt that the only way I could retain interest in the project was to try and make the album relate to what was going onthere and then the fact that no one was really looking each other in the eye, and that it was all very mechanical...most of what was going on. So I suggested we change it-that we didn't do the other two songs but tried somehow to make a bridge between the first and second havles of Shine On, and bridge them with stuff that had some kind of relevance to the state we were all in that time. Which is how Welcome To The Machine, Wish You Were Here and Have A Cigar came in".
