Free Music Review: outshines dark side, wish you were here, animals and the wall
Hit: 5 Stars
This crazy CD is easily TOP quality over all the post-Obscured by clouds material. I mean, Dark isde of the moon is just plain horrible, wish youwere here is a drag, Animals is fake punk rubbish and The Wall is easily the worst album in the world together with Stills Young band Long may you run and Bruce Springsteen's The River oh yes and everything by Eric Clapton is also bad.

Free Music Review: The solo debut from Floyd's mastermind
Hit: 4 Stars
Roger Waters of Pink Floyd's first solo album was a collaboration with avant garde musician Ron Geesin entitled Music From the Body released in November of 1970 in the UK and was to be released in the US but Capitol Records rejected it at the time and the album didn't get a US release until the 1980s on a small independent label.
Roger Waters was the first member of the classic lineup to release a solo effort and was a collaboration with Scottish composer Ron Geesin whom worked with Waters on Pink Floyd's Atom Heart Mother album also released in 1970.
If you like Amused to Death or Pros and Cons, prepare for disappointment as this album is not like other solo projects he has done. However, if you liked Pink Floyd's most avant garde material like Atom Heart Mother and the Ummagumma studio album, you are in for a treat.
Roger has a few songs interspersed amongst the sound effects heavy Ron Geesin tracks.
Roger's "Sea Shell and Stone" and "Chain of Life" are acoustic pieces that would have fit well on the More album by Floyd. "Breathe" is an early take of "Breathe in the Air" on Dark Side of the Moon but with different lyrics and the music of Sea Shell and Stone. Roger's last song on the album was "Give Birth to a Smile" which featured Waters' bandmates David Gilmour on guitar, Nick Mason on drums and Rick Wright on keyboards.
Some of the instrumentals like "Our Song" have Roger and Ron working together. Not a bad solo effort but not for everyone.
Free Music Review: Roger Waters & Ron Geesin - "Music From The Body"
Hit: 5 Stars
"Music From The Body" takes you on a marvelous musical journey through twenty-two compositions. The Body was a medical documentary directed by Roy Battersby and produced by Tony Garnett in 1970. Sound experimentalist Ron Geesin collaborated with progressive-rocker Roger Waters to release this twisted auditory exploration of the human body. "More Than Seven Dwarfs In Penis-Land" and "Mrs. Throat Goes Walking" explore the bizarre world of vocal manipulations. In addition, members of Pink Floyd join the duo for the soundtrack finale "Give Birth To A Smile".
