Now for the album, which now is what difficult for my emotional outburst.
It has taken many turns in the player and many hours I had to work to the album. Is just always great Kopfkino with Pink Floyd and Gilmour was indeed in the preliminary reporting very transparent what we can expect.
The initial euphoria was extinguished after four passes first. So the next rounds heard loud through headphones. The puzzle of the individual sound bites sat only at a higher volume slowly together. The soundscape, epic and emotionally bit by bit to a sound universe is coming together. It adapts to a within the next one and I understand Gilmour's reluctance in his game. More space for Wright, less for him. It's almost a bow on one of the best keyboard player in the world and because restraint is also attached. In addition, what should one still Gilmour evidence? I like it and I am curious what new to discover again and again. There's a lot of music in this album, only you have to take the trouble, similar Ummagumma to allow this to occur.
Gilmour shines this time with a fine file granen game, less is more and that I would have wanted but then also a few deeper tones such as by "a momentary lapse of reason" Session. But his presence is audible and perceptible, recognizable and takes you along. So announced result as in advance ....
Even the vocal song, which was heavily criticized, shows only by repeated listening and giving a special effect in the text. Who does not speak the English language, should be time to read the translation, then the song gets a very special meaning and includes final chapter Pink Floyd harmoniously.
It does not always have a grand finale with a lot of boom boom be.
I think the album well, it has something and it needs to mature in my head. But I give the album the time it deserves and pay tribute to the artistry of all participating musicians and sound engineers. In the terrible publications the music industry but is something a real treat.
Therefore, no ifs or buts four thick deserved star !!!
