- Pink Floyd - The Wall Experience Ed 2012 [EAC - FLAC](oan)™
- http://nimga.com/f/yJYkp.jpg
- Roger Waters constructed The Wall, a narcissistic, double-album rock opera about an
- emotionally crippled rock star who spits on an audience member daring to cheer during
- an acoustic song. Given its origins, it's little wonder that The Wall paints such an
- unsympathetic portrait of the rock star, cleverly named "Pink," who blames everyone
- particularly women -- for his neuroses. Such lyrical and thematic shortcomings may
- have been forgivable if the album had a killer batch of songs, but Waters took his
- operatic inclinations to heart, constructing the album as a series of fragments that
- are held together by larger numbers like "Comfortably Numb" and "Hey You." Generally,
- the fully developed songs are among the finest of Pink Floyd's later work, but The Wall
- is primarily a triumph of production: its seamless surface, blending melodic fragments
- and sound effects, makes the musical shortcomings and questionable lyrics easy to ignore.
- But if The Wall is examined in depth, it falls apart, since it doesn't offer enough great
- songs to support its ambition, and its self-serving message and shiny production seem
- like relics of the late-'70s Me Generation.
- EMIs Experience Edition of The Wall offers a new remaster of the original album and adds
- a third disc of a "Work in Progress," a selection of 27 demos also featured on the much
- larger Immersion Edition reissue of the album. Apart from an opening "Prelude (Vera Lynn),"
- all the solo Roger Waters demos have been left behind -- they're as an effective enticement
- for investing in the Immersion Edition as all the extra visual and printed material
- leaving this as a bunch of relatively rough full-band run-throughs, divided into three
- separate Programmes tracing the evolution of the album. The first Programme, running 13
- tracks, is quite subdued and slow, a clear outgrowth from the moody malevolence of Animals.
- "Another Brick in the Wall" has its melody but not its riff, a signal of how this earliest
- draft downplayed muscle and melodrama, elements that creep into the picture during Programme
- 2 with the addition of "In the Flesh?" and David Gilmour's pulsating eighth notes on "Another
- Brick in the Wall." All these elements begin to coalesce on Programme 3, as the production
- gets further definition via spoken word, effects, and fuller arrangements, along with the
- addition of "Comfortably Numb," here presented under its early version, "The Doctor." Along
- the way, abandoned songs are aired and it's evident that their themes were folded into other
- songs -- "Teacher, Teacher" went into "Another Brick in the Wall, Pt 2," "Sexual Revolution"
- covered the same ground as "Young Lust," "Backs to the Wall" went into "In the Flesh" -- and
- there are other slight differences to be heard, usually in the form of lyrics. Nothing here
- quite seems like a radical departure from the finished album -- nothing is embryonic, where
- only the barest outline can be detected; Waters had a sturdy structure for the songs at the
- very beginning -- but hearing this evolution in microcosm is fascinating: few albums are ever
- as lavishly and carefully produced as The Wall, and by going through this "Work in Progress,"
- it becomes clear just how much labor Floyd and producer Bob Ezrin exerted on the finished album.
