http://www.pinkfloydfan.net/t1503-rick-wright.html Excerpt: The band's phenomenal success during the time when Wish You Were Here and Animals were released led to a great amount of tension and conflicts among the band members. Solo albums were a safety valve and Wright released Wet Dream in 1978. Wright was accompanied by top session musicians Mel Collins (sax), Snowy White (guitar), Larry Steele (bass) and Reg Isadore (drums). No singles were released from the album, and Wright did not perform any concerts. By the time they came to record The Wall in 1979 Roger Waters was assuming control of the band. Wright felt the full brunt of this when Waters threatened not to release The Wall unless Wright left the band. Wright spent the next two years as a paid employee, playing The Wall in America, Britain and Germany. Being paid on a wage, he was the only "member" of Pink Floyd to actually make money on that tour (yes, the Floyd "lost their shirts" on that tour--it was so phenomenally expensive to put on, and they did so few shows that they couldn't recoup their investment. The rest of the band were "investors," as it were, but Wright's role was the same as that of the roadies--fixed dollar amount per night or somesuch. So he didn't get reamed like everyone else). He did not appear on The Final Cut. After leaving Pink Floyd, Wright formed a shortlived partnership, called Zee who released Identity ('84), with Dave Harris, former leader of New Romantic band Fashion, with Wright composing music for Harris' lyrics. There were again no live dates. This is the only Floyd solo album never released on CD anywhere. He did, however, appear as a "session" musician on A Momentary Lapse of Reason, and also participated in the Delicate Sound of Thunder tour. With The Division Bell he's finally fully back in the band co-wroting Wearing The Inside Out with lyricist Anthony Moore and co-wroting the music for Cluster One, What Do You Want From Me, Marooned, and Keep Talking with David Gilmour. More important, as Wright says, "On this album the three of us actually played together. It's like the Floyd again."
