Excellent & underrated. I would recommend this to any Rick Wright or Floyd enthusiast. Great guitar work from Tim Renwick - an old Floyd supporting musician. Pity my Broken China came in a broken case! Or was that just a Floydian slip?

As a lifelong Floyd fan I was aware that Rick Wright had done a couple of solo albums but had always viewed the solo material as sub-standard to the collective works. However following the sad death of Rick last year I have been gradually completing my collection of all things Floydian and Broken China was next on the list.
At first listen it all felt a little bland and self indulgent and the vocals were pretty ropey in parts. However after persevering I feel that this album captures much of Floyds grandeur and pastoral influences and is testimony to Ricks important contribution to many of their seminal works.
It is a very gentle album with none of the ire of Roger Waters lyrics or soaring guitar solos of David Guilmour but its subtle rythmms and jazz inluences are reassuringly soothing.
Not a classic by any means but definitely worth a listen and one to chill out to.
God bless you Rick. Thanks for the memories.

VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
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.

Bit dissapointed
Hi i chose Broken china as it was an addition to my Pink Floyd collection. Found it to be very mediocre - he needed rest of the guys.

Floyd Rick - Broken China
Arrived on time and in perfect condition. Been meaning to get this album but never got around to. His passing away prompted me add this to the collection.

Sounds like floyd
If you like floyd, you should like this, the music is good, bit of a dodgy voice, but I've heard worst

Likeable stuff
I warmed very quickly and easily to this album. It is intelligent and understated but poignant. There are nice moments. It is better than Wet Dream by some margin. Read more
