dr.music…Das ist ja fast Waters pur. Kaum PF mehr. ….

Der Hinweis „… by Roger Waters – performed by Pink Floyd“ steht nicht aus Jux auf dem Cover ;-)

Ausschnitt aus einem Interview von 1987:

When did you realise it was finally the end?
RW: Well, there are those who contend it’s not over, of course (laughs wryly).
But making The Final Cut was misery. We didn’t work together at all. I had to do it more or less single-handed, working with Michael Kamen, my co-producer. That’s one of the few things that the ‚boys‘ and I agreed about. But no-one alse would do anything on it. It sold three million copies, which wasn’t a lot for the Pink Floyd. And as a consequence, Dave Gilmour went on record as saying, „There you go: I knew he was doing it wrong all along.“ But it’s absolutely ridiculous to judge a record solely on sales. If you’re going to use sales as the sole criterion, it makes Grease a better record than Graceland.
Anyway, I was in a greengrocer’s shop, and this woman of about forty in a fur coat came up to me. She said she thought it was the most moving record she had ever heard. Her father had also been killed in World War II, she explained. And I got back into my car with my three pounds of potatoes and drove home and thought, good enough.
