A MOMENTARY LAPSE OF REASON

The new incarnation of Pink Floyd is something no fan should miss, but is also essential to any prog music fan. The problem is 'A Momentary...' should rather be dubbed Art Rock, as the space/psychedelic elements are virtually non-existent here. The music is naturally dominated by singing and soloing David Gilmour. In opposition to the previous works, there are numerous parts played by studio musicians.

Nevertheless, this is the all-natural next step in the evolution of a rock band. The sound has evolved and has the 1980-ish scent, but contrary to many other albums from that period, it hasn't aged a single bit. 'Lapse' still sounds as fresh as it did back in the days it was recorded.
