The Later Years PINK FLOYD/LEGACY

The post-Waters era collated, with the odd gaping gap.

“Aquite clever forgery,” Roger Waters said of 1987’s , the first Pink Floyd album following his 1985 departure. His comment showed a possessive arrogance, Waters believing himself and were best advised to follow him into his dark conceptual solo world. The Floyd that reconvened without him – David Gilmour, Nick Mason and a returning Richard Wright – were a brighter, more weightless proposition. And although they would produce only two proper albums ( and 1994’s ) and the ambient reworking of studio offcuts that was 2014’s over almost 30 years, their tenure is still respected enough to warrant an 18-disc retrospective box set.
