Customer Reviews

Dedicated "To All Those Brave Enough To Face Their Past"
This is a truly wonderful and haunting album. This album was inspired by a friend of Richard Wright, who had to battle clinical depression. "Broken China" is an intriguing album by Richard Wright. Throughout the album, Wright explores new age and classical instrumental textures along with a nice blend of African rhythms. All of which create a shimmering series of soundscapes that revel in the settings that are imbedded in every individual song.

For those who will not be willing to travel along with this album, it may be best to check out the wonderful track, "Along The Shoreline". Also the two tracks which feature Sinead O'Connor: "Reaching For The Rail" and "Breakthrough".

However, those who are fans of deep meaningful music (mainly those of Pink Floyd) will find this album truly rewarding, with its ambient moments which all have different points of interest. Also, the world beat rhythms are truly fantastic.

Enlightening and Relaxing
Best known as a member of Pink Floyd and more recently seen in concert with David Gilmore I was expecting this album to have undertones of Pink Floyd and I was not disappointed. There are the trademark sound effects and haunting instrumentals and of course Richard's vocals, which are very similar to David Gilmore's (they both have a similar style of singing).

I enjoy this album very much, very relaxing to listen to with no sudden surprises. I appreciate the experimentation with the instrumental sounds, somthing that Pink Floyd were so good at. The tracks flow well together and the vocal of Sinead O'Connor adds an extra bonus. A well crafted album.

Floydian memories
Rick Wright has been able to capture a the eerie mood of the earlier Floyd on this album. Though not Floyd it brings back memories of albums like Meddle. Rick's collaboration with Sinead O'Connor on especially the last track of the album is of an almost unhuman nature, this will certainly do (free interpretation of the porsecutor's line The Wall). Listen and judge for yourself.
