rick wright solos

here's a question. i want to buy a rick wright cd but im curious are they any good and if so which one is better wet dreams or broken china?

Are you sure you want to?...not that they're bad, but some people -not me- may find Rick's stuff boring...but if you really like the things he did for early Floyd, you might enjoy his solo work.
I've only listened to bits of Broken China, though. But since Wet Dreams was much earlier, it might sound more like his earlier work, but I really dunno what I'm saying...guys?

no comment !

.....except for this one !

I have 'Wet Dream' and I would definitely recommend it
Guitarist Snowy White(Floyd support player) is featured on much of this release

Both Wet Dream and Broken China are highly recommended. WD is a relaxing album, with excellent saxophone parts performed by Mel Collins, a good mix of songs and instrumentals in the classical floydian 70s dreamy mood. Similar to songs like Stay or Wearing The Inside Out. BC is more ambitious, more experimental sounds but a lot of extremely enjoyable moments. It's basically a concept album about clinical depression and IMO it's one of the best albums by solo Floyds... possibly THE best actually. Obviously it's all down to personal taste but if you like Wright's stuff on band works you are going to love both albums.

mad yannis Zee:Identity is for hard-core completists like me only.

I suppose you're right, there's something I can appreciate here and there on that album but at the end of the day it's a weak work (as many others of the solo Floyd catalogue).

i got broken china today and i must say it's excelent rick's voice work so well with the songs i was dissapointed that he didn't write the lyrics but thats alright all around this cd is great i don't think i dislike any song except breaking water.

Well, good for you!
I just have to wonder how good is he when it comes to concept. Like, does his work for this album sustain itself in its own right, or is it just a mishmash of songs, put together just because they were there?

it sustains it self if i understand wat yur trying to say

It's an excellent concept album IMO. And I quite like the lyrics by Anthony Moore, which is a talented writer. And frankly, I don't give a f*ck if Rick didn't write lyrics himself: he's an excellent musician (and after all it's HIS concept anyway) who choose to work with a good writer. He knows his limits and that's good.

That's also what Roger never understood about himself, he's a very talented writer who had the luck to work with two great musicians... This cooperation and cohesive team work was the force of Pink Floyd of the golden age.

I know I'll upset all you die-hard Rick fans, but crikey, those albums are a load of old pony (and trap = crap).

Save your money.

But it's not like you ever actually listened to them heh...

Broken China is wonderful, fantastic.

On the contrary. I have listened to both those albums, but not happily and certainly not frequently.
