What Are You Listening To?

[Jerome]

I disagree 'grumpy old man' - AMLOR was very new-age orientated, and I like quite a few of the tracks although I have to admit there is some crap 'filler' there as well. TDB - class from start to finish. Final Cut has the most chilling lyrics I have ever heard - scathing, but true. Particularly like the track where he describes his mother at a memorial service for his late father. Piano and strings are just brilliant in this piece. A huge debt owed to Michael Kamen for his orchestration on this album. The Wall is about Roger. The Final Cut is about his father. Roger was digging really deep when he put this one together and taking one hell of a risk as well. The record company execs must have been horrified. They were hoping for a cash cow (al la the Wall part II) - he gave them a dose of reality.
