ROGER WATERS "flickering flame-the solo years volume I" cd,2002.
dont get me wrong...
i like this album, but some artists should not release retrospective collections, especially when the artist makes "albums" to be heard in their entirety...it just doesnt work, sort of like Stephen King releasing a "best of" book by simply including a chapter from this book or that book...it would not make sense, and neither does a Waters set like this...
Lost boys Calling,Flickering Flame,Towers Of Faith are superb acoustic tracks, pretty sure the cd cover said "demo version" for at least two of them???!
Radio Waves sounds a bit dated now IMO...must be all that crap 1980s drum synths...
and a cover of Dylan's Knockin' On Heavens Door????...what the heck is alll that about, it just dont cut it IMO...
but overall, not a bad album,some things sound decidedly Pink Flydish, while others are so far removed you probably wouldnt guess its Waters!!!!
