Elegant melancholy from Floyd's quiet one,
By
This review is from: Wet Dream (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!

Love this album,
By
This review is from: Wet Dream (Audio CD)
I loved this album when it first came out. It is a step or two away from the usual Floyd material and is good for it. Much of the music is gentle mood music mixed with the odd 'funky' number but all enjoyable. Best listened to with the lights out and nothing to distract you so that you can just sink into it. Well done Rick.....he should have always had a bigger influence on Floyd!

A languid cruise on a lazy day,

This review is from: Wet Dream (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.
