4.0 out of 5 stars A languid cruise on a lazy day 20 Oct 2005
By D. J. H. Thorn TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
Don't expect a Pink Floyd soundalike album if you buy this. I don't know anyone else who likes "Wet Dream", but as only Floyd fans are probably aware of it, that's not surprising. I remember buying it on its original release and being disappointed with the first listen. Wright's clipped, deliberate vocal style took a little getting used to, while the opening track, "Mediterranean C", is a sluggish instrumental.

The rest of the album hardly whips up a storm either, but for me it was simply a case of becoming acclimatised. It's a mood album, one of a hot summer's day lying on a yacht or beside a pool, as depicted on the sleeve. I disagree with the reviewer who finds Snowy White's guitar uninspired. I've yet to hear anything he's done that I dislike. Mel Collins' sax provides a soothing thread on "Cat Cruise" which does get out of first gear, while "Waves" is a wonderfully evocative instrumental.

Maybe I'm easily pleased but I like the whole album. There are no gimmicks, no shouting just to be heard, just a tidy and relaxing collection of recordings.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Best Bland In The World 24 Mar 2008
By A. Walker
Format:Audio CD
While Roger Waters was demoing 'The Wall' Richard Wright recorded this lovely album which is ideal for dusky Summer evenings or sleepy afternoons. Wright was the only classically-trained member of Pink Floyd and his jazzy writing and spunky playing informed their best material. This album can't hope to come close to those glories and has even been
described as bland. True, the musicians, great though they are, don't sound as if they were born to play together and the compositions themselves have a watery and passive feel (hence the somewhat self-deprecating title). However, it is still a very enjoyable and relaxing listen. Much of the music is infused with Wright's trademark melancholy and there are even some very fine moments like the sublime 'Cat Cruise' and the funky 'Drop In From The Top'. Ultimately it's the instrumentals that work best as Wright seems more at home playing than singing. A useful gap-fill, then, for fans who may have yearned for more of Wright's input on 'Animals' and 'The Wall'.

4.0 out of 5 stars Elegant melancholy from Floyd's quiet one 3 April 2001
By Timothy Hooper
Format:Audio CD
1978 saw Pink Floyd on hold, Roger Waters was writing what was to become The Wall, Dave Gilmour was recording his first solo album and Nick Mason was probably off racing cars somewhere. Floyd fans were still reeling from the aural assault of 1977's Animals album and somewhat alienating live shows. It was left to Rick Wright to come up with something to soothe the average Floyd fans jangled nerves and Wet Dream just about managed to fill the void. Long time fans of the band will be familiar with Wright's more jazz inflected songwriting style and melancholy vocals and Wet Dream serves up both. This is an elegant LP, which while not likely to set the world on fire makes a fine - dare I say - easy listening record. The production and arrangement is beautiful and Wright's tasteful keyboards match the languid nature of the songs. An important balance to the more strident approach of Waters, and Gilmour's occasional lapses into all out rock 'n' roll. Shame about the terrible title!

Not listened to this since I bought it on vinyl all those years ago. It still sounds fresh and involving. Under-rated member of Floyd.

What beautiful melancholy with a little blink in the eye. As musical as Pink Floyd music, but with Rick behind the wheel. I actually feel good after a spin of this!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Chill Factor
This is an excellent album. It's much better than 'Broken China', his later release. It has a totally chilled out groove all the way through, and is pleasing to the ear throughout. Read more

I often felt that Richard's musical contributions to PF were among the best moments on their albums, so Wet Dream was ultimately a bit disappointing. Read more
