The final Pink Floyd album is remastered on iTunes!
The sessions for the album began in 1993 with David Gilmour and Richard Wright writing about themes of communication breakdowns and estrangement - reflecting the interactions of a band that lost one of its most important members eleven years ago. The sessions began as improvisations - ending with over 60 pieces. The band opens up with "Cluster One", an instrumental that tries to mimic the group's earlier instrumentals that made their group legendary. "What Do You Want from Me?" returns to the funky energies of Dark Side of the Moon while "Keep Talking" uses the trademark "space rock" sound that Pink Floyd is known for. Overall, the later Floyd albums (The Final Cut, A Momentary Lapse of Reason) are uneven - the music fall into pits of self-parody for fear of losing the rhythm that made the band successful; despite the album shooting to #1 in the US and the UK and gaining a gold and 3x platinum record.
