Great sound, very nice artwork
A MOMENTARY LAPSE OF REASON
Things sure got complicated after "The Wall" was released.A court case ensued and the band would be forever changed.The previous record, "The Final Cut" was much like Waters' solo records, with the focus on the lyrics.So with Roger now gone they get back to a greater focus on the instrumental part of their music.Remember too,we're still in the eighties when this was recorded.Richard Wrught would be here only as a part timer,along with a host of guest musicians.I often wondered if the title of this album was directed at Mr.Waters. I don't want to harp on the Roger Waters conflict,but i always thought "Signs Of Life" was a strange pick for the opening song,but the fact it's a song with no lyrics may have some significance.Anyway it consists of samples,synths and some guitar late in the song."Learning To Fly" is a song that impresses me more for the lyrics then the melody.Hearing a pilot singing about flyiPassword: No password specified
