You can achieve this by using subtle compression and low level EQ on supporting tracks instead of filling everything with effects.

For instance, in The Great Gig in the Sky, you hear Gilmour's guitar lightly echoing, but the backing synth is thin enough to let the vocal thread through.

They didn't layer additional guitars or pads that would muddy that emotional core.

MooshHOST

And I did, I mean, I was going to lead into it here, but The Great Gig in the Sky, the singer, we're not going to play it, but the singer deserves credit, Claire Torrey.

She didn't sing words.
