Broken China - Richard Wright. An intense album full of unexpected twists and turns. In the enigma that was Pink Floyd this man's contribution to their sound is often overlooked and I have to say that of all the Floyd members' solo albums this one is the most creative & original. And Uncle Storm did a magnificent job on the artwork as well. I have cupboards full of CD's and then I have one rack that is easily accessible with all my faves on there. This one lives there.

i could have predicted a large number of those artists Jerome, i just asked incase something really different and unexpected was on the rack....maybe a straightforeward pop band...a 'secret pleasure', so to speak??

The Final Cut - Pink Floyd. Yes, many, many people think of this as the weakest of the post 60's albums from the group, but I think it's one of the most powerful. A chilling reminder of what human beings are capable of. 'with cattle trucks lying in wait for the next time'.

The Final Cut...i have that one, was actually the first PF album i purchased, it is still pretty good...
now i only own probably six albums by those guys and Division Bell is actually my favourite...love Gilmnour's guitar work and feel of the album....just listening to that one in the dark with headphones on makes me feel ethereal(not sure if thats the right word for it?)
