On paper Pink Floyd in 1987 consisted only of guitarist / singer David Gilmour and drummer Nick Mason. Keyboardist Rick Wright had been alone on the payroll since The Wall and bassist / vocalist Roger Waters had turned his back on the group. The latter felt that Pink Floyd should cease to exist and filed a lawsuit to strip A Momentary Lapse Of Reason and the subsequent world tour of the name Pink… Floyd. Just as The Wall and The Final Cut can be regarded as Waters' solo albums in disguise, it is obvious to call A Momentary Lapse Of Reason a typical David Gilmour album. The guitarist has a hand in all the compositions and the production in which his melodic and screaming playing has been put forward considerably. It could also have been a return to the old, more dreamy and lyrical Pink Floyd from Wish You Were Here and Meddle. Space rock songs like Signs Of Life and Terminal Frost seem to be looking for this, but the typical eighties (over) production, with drums sounding like hollow plastic drums and an overall sound like a cold mist, makes the whole sound dull and dated. In addition, Waters' depth is sorely missed on the form-dominated A Momentary Lapse Of Reason. (MR)more
