That was a great album. Some nice tidbits on The Final Cut too. Especially Not Now, John
Yeah, I remember buying it, as soon as it was released, getting it onto the deck and thinking, blimey, what's all this racist stuff. Then, as you listen to it properly, everything slots into place and you realise it is a very cool conceptual album.
You could tell that RW was losing it by this time, though, and I just didn't get on with Final Cut at all I'm afraid. I was never aware of what was going on in the band at the time, but I've seen a few documentaries about PF since and it all makes sense now.
I have the greatest respect for RW and I think he was sorely missed, really. I bought Division Bell, but that was more like a Dave Gilmour solo album to me. Loved it, but not really PF...
All time fave, for me, was Meddle, only because it was the first album of theirs that I got as a Christmas present, way back when.
