A few hours ago, I logged onto MTC to see a message or two from Sledg, always a welcome thing here at Luddite Manor. One of the messages contained truly sad news, that Rick Wright, keyboard player and founder member of Pink Floyd had died.
For some, the genius of the Floyd, after Syd had gone at least was Roger Waters. Yes, he was important, but for me the sound of the Floyd hung on the rich musical textures created by Rick Wright and guitarist David Gilmour. I think that it is so great that their musical relationship was still being explored in Gilmours solo work in recent years.
Rick Wright helped create the soundtrack of my life, he created beautiful music for an ugly world and I give thanks to him.

Track Description:
This strikingly beautiful strange song comes from Floyd's second album, the one where they were learning to cope without Syd Barrett and Dave Gilmour was establishing himself. Roger Waters plays booming McCartney bass as Rick Wright's poignant vocal and Keith Tippett like piano runs engulf the piece. This has always been a favorite. SHOW LESS

The Beta Badge II
A slightly-less exclusive reward for special people. Thanks for helping us out with our second stage of beta testing. We love you silly guinea pigs!
awarded on 2009-04-16
Level 5
This a perfect tribute to one of the more underated part of PINK FLOYD's sound. I'm also a big fan of his singing on tracks such as ECHOES and TIME. Good on ya for putting his version of ARNOLD LANE on here.
