inhaltlich sehr gut

musikalisch eher durchschnitt, hätte auch prima auf THE WALL gepasst

errinert mich ein bisschn an einige irische und schottische volkslieder

aber ohne frage neben LEARNING TO FLY der höhepunkt auf dem album

meiner meinung nach der höhepunkt von A Momentary Lapse...

... no more turning away
from the weak and the weary
no more turning away
from the coldness inside
just a world that we all must share
it's not enough just to stand and stare
is it only a dream that there'll be
no more turning away...

eine hymne gegen armut und unterdrückung, die uns auffordert hinzusehen, statt vogelstraussmässig wegzugucken!

gutes Rockstück aus den 80er, hätte ich mir jedoch tempomässig flotter gewünscht – 4.5 (abgerundet)...

In januari 1988 was dit de 2e single van het album "A momentary lapse of reason". De single kwam tot nr 47 zie ik hier, terwijl ie bij de tegenhangers van de Top 40 maar liefst 7 weken werd getipt (27-19-11-9-6-5-4) voordat ie verdween. Mooie plaat!!!

Hymne gegen Armut und Unterdrückung, ist aktueller als je zuvor und kommt mir musikalisch sehr entgegen und gefällt mir wesentlich besser als viele andere Songs von ihnen.
Schöne Melodieabfolgen, die Gitarrenteile natürlich weniger, ziemlich gelungen und nur sehr knapp keine 5.

Starker Song aus der Spätphase von Pink Floyd, die in dieser Zeit mit eher belanglosen Zeugs gelangweilt haben. Stücke wie "On the turning away" bilden da eine Ausnahme.

Da gefällt mir "Comfortably Numb" doch deutlich besser, auch wenn die Gitarre vom Feinsten ist.

mal ein Song, welcher nicht diese drückende, düstere Atmosphäre verbreitet; ist noch recht schön zum anhören...

...und bildet eine Ausnahme zum ansonsten eher schwachen Material dieser Platte! Gilmour spielt wie einst bei "Comfortably numb" - wunderschön! Sehr gut... Da stört mich auch die poppige Produktion weniger!

...gewaltig! Dieser Song stammt aber aus dem 87er Album "A momentary lapse of reason". "Delicate of thunder" war ja ein Live Album ...

Aus Januar 1988, von das Album "Delicate Sound Of Thunder", aber kein Hit in Holland ("Bubbling Under").
