The Final Cut - Pink Floyd (1983)


The latest outburst of genius of Roger Waters front of Pink Floyd The is this Final Cut, an album that may well be considered the No. 3 album The Wall . Waters continues here his anti-war petition, this time in the context of the Falklands War, which he saw as a betrayal of the values \u200b\u200bthey had brought to England to take part in World War II (in which his father had dead.) The postwar ideal that sought a more peaceful world after the victory was definitely cut short by Margaret Thatcher (who Waters refers to as Maggie in this album).

The protagonist of this Rock Opera is a veteran of World War II who becomes a teacher. Troubled and tormented by memories of his own experience, despotic behaves with students. Note that this is the character of the teacher who abused Pink in The Wall . In the end, takes refuge in alcohol to cope with their desperate existence.

disk Side B (From Get Your Filthy Hands Off My Desert ) is no longer part of the conceptual history in itself, but are a series of loose items whose common link is also the war. In them, Waters spits on the new society built around the pecking order, regrets the fate of the soldiers in the war (who, after all, are victims of the powerful, are on the side that are), and even fantasizes about what it would be charged to Thatcher, Brezhnev, Reagan, Nixon ... in The Fletcher Memorial Home , which of course is pretty funny.

Musically an album is very consistent with the theme: dark, sad and melancholic. The result is, for my taste (for this work will find reviews of all types), satisfactory, and that the care that he got was thorough, was recorded in eight different studies, hiring many session musicians and the National Philharmonic Orchestra.

must be said that relations between Waters and the rest of the band (especially Gilmour) were very strained at this time, sometimes even considered The Final Cut a solo album of Roger Waters under the name Pink Floyd . Finally, after this work, Waters quit the band and would fight for the rest could not play like Pink Floyd because it considered that the name was his duty, which the judges dismissed because it was Gilmour who is the owner .

Some will think it is mediocre, but for me it is indispensable.

Tubular Bells II - Mike Oldfield (1992)


After Mike Oldfield blaze that heaven was open in one of his most mediocre (but which served to settle his contract with Virgin Records ), this prodigious musician is still going to inflict another blow to Richard Branson and his cronies recording with another company ( WEA Records) which had spent years asking: Tubular Bells II .

The album was, as expected, a success. Instrumental structure, melodies and the thickness of the composition (this time divided into 14 individual slices) followed the same line as that magnificent debut would launch a Mike Oldfield to the top of the music symphonic and experimental 19 years ago, but precisely what it was. The album name and cover confirmed that it was a sequel, a more mature then, innovative new media and technology that had been developed largely in the earlier 80s.

However, it is fair to say that it is simply an update of Tubular Bells. Tubular Bells II in find new passages, new atmosphere and, ultimately, an entirely new work that preserves a necessary result that the disc could have the honor of being called Tubular Bells II .

For its part, Kansas retained its musical quality and did not give up his soul, leaving its pristine image.
