If you are Pink Floyd fan, try and find David Palmer conducting the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in a album called Orchestral Maneuvers, conducting the version of “Wish you were here” and “Hey You” (and a host of other classics…I have just mentioned my favs)
I heard this album 15 years ago on a tape I owned….(and then I finally found a bootleg about a year ago…you can’t buy good stuff anymore…they don’t sell it…)
I can’t get over this album….its fantastic…..listen to it on your home theatre and you will fall in love with Floyd forever……the magic of some 50 odd instruments going in unison …melody and harmony walking in two steps
And did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?
(from wish you were here)
