PINK FLOYD – A MOMENTARY LAPSE OF REASON (CD)

Reissue
The iconic 1977 Pink Floyd album has been remixed by James Guthrie. Animals is a concept album, focusing on the social-political conditions of mid-1970s Britain, and was a change from the style of the bands earlier work. The album was developed from a collection of unrelated songs into a concept which describes the apparent social and moral decay of society, likening the human condition to that of animals. Taking inspiration from George Orwell’s “Animal Farm”, the album depicts the different classes of people as animals with pigs being at the top of the social chain, dropping down to the sheep as the mindless herd following what they are told, with dogs as the business bosses getting fat on the money and power they hold over the other. Although its been a long time since 1977, the narrative of the album still resonates today as our social and economic situation mirrors that of the time.

Reissue
The eleventh studio album by the English rock band and one of the most acclaimed concept albums of all time, The Wall is renowned as Roger Waters’ Rock Opera, dealing with abandonment and personal isolation. Featuring the unique artwork of Gerald Scarfe, the album contains the singles “Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2,” a No.1 hit in the UK and the US, “Run Like Hell” and “Comfortably Numb”. It was subsequently adapted for cinema by Alan Parker, featuring Bob Geldof in the lead role of Pink, a jaded rockstar whose eventual self-imposed isolation from society is symbolized by a wall.
