The Final Cut is a good album, though not unflawed. (I mean, "Not Now John"... yikes.) Less played-to-death than The Wall, and less of the glitzy bombast. On the other hand, The Pros & Cons of Hitchhiking is one of the absolute worst albums I have ever heard - be glad you avoided it. I never had any interest in investigating any of RW's other solo work after subjecting myself to it. Didn't think too much of the Wall (although there's a couple of catchy tunes there, I expect a great album) or The Division Bell.

I didn't really expect Roger Waters to be on this. I mean...shit, of course not!

No, then it's a different band.

Shouldn't be too much of a shock. He was 84 and lived a long and remarkable life. Rest in peace!

Shrugs...a string of bands with common personnel. I'm curious about the new album, but I'm not holding my breath.

hammer with master.

Not a secret any more!

He should be.

Who does then?

thanks!

Love this one! The recording is quote hissy, but somehow it fits. And yes, very very slow. Have Ciccolini '80s recordings, don't like them that much. That's exactly the two recordings I have, with the same results. I prefer Reinbert de Leeuw's Satie.

When I listen to IV, I skip Stairway to Heaven. Love Misty Mountain Hop and When the Levee Breaks. I try not to listen to classic rock radio, it keeps the albums fresh.

Same here...I love it all. I just have some special requests.

i.e., the second side of My Goal's Beyond. That's along the lines of what I was thinking of....but I want more, more, more! He had a pretty good sound on that album with Elvin. Nylon string guitar.

I think he's using a tape echo (echoplex?) to beef things up.

I've heard the hirez I & II and I'm impressed at how Page could make a Tele sound so murky, most of the time.

ah....great band!

A twisted thought: I'd love to hear John do a few albums of standards, solo even.

The Dolphy, of course! It took me a couple of days to hear about the death of Alan Douglas.

looks great, I probably have some of those performances spread across other discs.

I can't afford to...but I'm really looking forward to hearing recordings of it.
