About Face

Amazon.com
Recorded following the fractious and unhappy sessions for Pink Floyd's The Final Cut, About Face represented a new start for David Gilmour. Freed from his tempestuous collaboration with Roger Waters, Gilmour was able to fall in love with the recording process all over again. The remarkably relaxed and confident About Face stands head and shoulders above anything Gilmour has done with the latter-day incarnation of the Floyd. With its dramatic crescendos and lyrics about "voices in your head," "Murder" is the most Floyd-like track on the album. Other highlights include the propulsive opener "Until We Sleep," the Dylanesque piano ballad "Out of the Blue," and the funky, horn-driven "Blue Light." The energy level flags a bit, but Gilmour's playing is dazzling throughout. It's an excellent effort, overall, and one which should appeal to more than just Floyd fans. --Dan Epstein

Gilmour's weakest solo album.......2007-06-06

I was motivated to write this review because of the other over-enthusiastic 5-star reviews that are way out of proportion to how this album is generally viewed by Floyd fans. I actually bought this when it came out; my excitement was soon tempered with disapointment, although I found a few songs on here to love, particularly "Murder," which is really the only song on here that might have made it on to a Floyd album when Waters was around (albeit with superior lyrics and sound). "Let's Get Metaphysical" is a nice instrumental that, of all the tracks here, points to "On an Island" (Gilmour even quotes it during a solo). "All Lovers Are Deranged" is possibly the other bright spot here, although very 80s (not a kind decade for PF). Others seem to really like "Near the End" a lot, although that song always seemed to me to be underdeveloped and produced all wrong on this album.

Generally, I've found that this album has not aged well at all, while Gilmour's first self-titled release seems much better today than it ever did. Gilmour's first album and his most recent one are down to earth, unforced, and genuine, unlike "About Face" or the two post-Waters PF releases, which attempted to make the case that Gilmour *IS* Pink. The irony is that he most sounds like PF when he's being authentic and natural.

If you're a PF fan and have never owned this, you'll want it for the tracks I've mentioned. But the real gems are his first album, and "On an Island."

David Gilmour - May Be His Best Solo Disc.......2007-04-17

By 1984 Pink Floyd had effectively broken up. Gilmour decided to strike out on his own and unlike his previous solo effort, this time he put a proper band together and went on a lengthy world tour. The album was to be the start of his solo career outside of Pink Floyd, but sales did not reach the numbers that many had hoped and like Roger Waters, Gilmour found that as a concert draw he was not in the same league as the Pink Floyd franchise. All that being said the album was quite good and played to Gilmour's strengths. His band consisted of Jeff Porcaro on drums (Toto), Pino Palladino on bass (The Who), and Ian Kewley on keys. The album also contained an all star lineup of special guests including Steve Winwood (Traffic), Bob Ezrin (Alice Cooper, Pink Floyd), Ray Cooper (Eric Clapton), Jon Lord (Deep Purple), and Roy Harper. Gilmour wrote all of the music and lyrics with the exception of "All Lovers Are Deranged" which was co-written with Pete Townshend. I like this album a lot. No it is not Pink Floyd, but there really is not a bad song on the disc. Much of the album has an 80's feel to it, and I hear a lot of similarities to some of the music in "The Wall". The single "Blue Light" was a bit funky for some people, although I personally liked it. The best track on the album "Murder" got some AOR airplay at the time and is classic Gilmour. "Let's Get Metaphysical" features a full orchestra conducted by Michael Camen and is big, loud and bombastic. "You Know I'm Right" was written for Gilmour's estranged partner from Pink Floyd, Roger Waters. "Until We Sleep", "Love On The Air", "Out Of The Blue", "All Lovers Are Deranged", "Cruise" and "Near The End" are all great tunes. I like all of Gilmour's solo works, but I think this one may be his best.

4 1/2 stars for some big time sounds........2007-03-19

unlike mr gilmour's other two solo efforts, which more favor the tone of "dark side of the moon," this 1984 release has more of a "the wall" vibe to it, with heavy synthesizers, keyboard work, and organ coloring the whole affair. which ever you prefer, all three of his albums are a must for fans of pink floyd. the highlight on this record, i feel, is the great instrumental "let's get metaphysical," which has an anthem like feel to it. "murder," is another standout track, which starts out as a ballad, then breaks out into guitar fireworks at the end. "blue light," with pronounced synthesizers and horns is also a powerful track. the whole thing is wonderfully done, actually. you can't go wrong with this if you are a fan of floyd, or classic rock in general.

Great second solo album from Floyd Frontman.......2007-02-25

This was released shortly during the hiatus Pink Floyd took in the 80's after Roger Waters departed. This is the weakest of the three solo albums by Gilmour, and is a bit dated. It has that 80's synth thing going on a couple of the tracks, but overall, clever and original tunes, very worth while picking up. Favorite tracks include Murder and Let's Get Metaphysical. all of the others are good in their own part. Recommend picking this up and adding to your collection, whether a Floyd Fan or not.

Instruments of the Orchestra - Great Reference Material!.......2007-04-04

This set lends itself to greatly enhancing one's knowledge of the orchestra, instruments in it, and their usage. I am a huge music buff, and I still picked up a great deal I previously did not know. I highly recommend this for all who wish to understand the origin of music, as well as the processes that are employed to create music!

Beginner or Expert.......2007-03-12

This CD is excellent for the beginner or expert! To be able to haear the instrumets separately and then together really provides a good education. and/or refresher. The book thaty comes with the CD is alomost worth the price by itself!

Very Informative and Enjoyable.......2006-11-20

Whether you're a music novice or pro, "The instruments of the Orchestra" is a very worthwhile purchase. The 7 CDs, with a total of 8 hours, are expertly narrated by Jeremy Siepmann. He's a great speaker, very much like the late Leonard Bernstein was. Mr. Siepmann takes you on an unforgetable musical journey covering the origins and use of the various orchestral instruments throughout musical history. The balance between his narration and a wealth of musical examples, which range from snippets to entire movements, is superb. The comprehensive enclosed booklet is excellent and faithfully follows the 7 CDs in content. Even with my 40+ years of music training I still learned new things from this wonderful collection. Considering the excellence of the content, and a cost that translates to about $5 per disc, this collection is a great value. Grab it, you won't regret that you did. Five solid stars!

Frank's view.......2006-08-19

This boxed set of CD's with booklet achieved all I had hoped that it would. There are good samples of individual instruments and well done commentary on each. The only drawback was that some of the samples were too brief and could have been longer, hoiwever I guess this fits in with time constraints of the medium. It has given me a lot of clues as to future purchases of CD's for listening to individual instruments. Altogeth a satisfactory purchase and a welcome addition to my collection.

Excellent Intro for Those Not Familiar with the Orchestra.......2003-11-08

I've listened to classical music for years and am interested in composition. I bought this CD set to learn how an orchestra and its instruments work. I thought the CDs would be a nice but boring lecture. They aren't! Not only are they FUN but they are informative as well. I learned a huge amount from each CD and couldn't wait to listen to the next one.

The narrator and writer is a great speaker and holds your attention well. He is definitely knowledgeable. He provides musical examples for each point he makes, so you get to "hear" what he just talked about. I'd say the CDs are about 65% music and 35% narration. You'll learn about the range of instruments, some history, different ways to play them, how they sound, and how they are used in the orchestra. This CD set was a great learning experience and is sold at such a low price!

I recommend this CD for those who want to learn about classical music and those who know about it but are interested in learning more about the inner workings of an orchestra. You'll learn much useful information. For instance, the Rite of Spring (with that eerie start) is written for bassoon! I never knew a bassoon could sound like that but now I do.

The one complaint I have is the last CD. This deals with the orchestra. I wanted more of a tour of how the orchestra has been used through history up to the present. Instead, it was a tour of how different groups of instruments sound. I thought it could have been better. The other 6 CDs are excellent.

Customer Reviews:

4 1/2 stars. .......2007-03-19

unlike mr gilmour's other two solo efforts, which more favor the tone of "dark side of the moon," this 1984 release has more of a "the wall" vibe to it, with heavy synthesizers, keyboard work, and organ coloring the whole affair. which ever you prefer, all three of his albums are a must for fans of pink floyd. the highlight on this record, i feel, is the great instrumental "let's get metaphysical," which has an anthem like feel to it. "murder," is another standout track, which starts out as a ballad, then breaks out into guitar fireworks at the end. "blue light," with pronounced synthesizers and horns is also a powerful track. the whole thing is wonderfully done, actually. you can't go wrong with this if you are a fan of floyd, or classic rock in general.

Reissue of Gilmour solo album sounds terrific.......2006-09-13

First things first--how does this reissue sound? The CD sounds great with a much warmer feel, better depth and detail (although the first version sounded pretty good as well). Since there are no bonus tracks (I would loved to have had the demos included here as well as any works in progress such as discarded mixes for various tracks)you'll be buying this only for the improved sound of the album. Is it worth it? If you're a huge Floyd/Gilmour fan absolutely.

Released after the dissolution of Waters' Floyd Gilmour plunged headlong into this solo album as a tonic to "The Final Cut". Co-produced with Bob Erzin ("The Wall"), the album features a number of stunning songs including the pulsating opener "Until We Sleep" and stunning "Murder". "Blue Light" was voted one of the worst solo tracks by a Floyd member ever and although the disco trappings make it one of my least favorite tracks it's still a well written song with a propulsive beat and nice guitar playing by Gilmour. The album is most notable for Gilmour's attempts to try a variety of sounds distinct from the sound he established with Pink Floyd.

Of the two tracks penned with Pete Townshend the rocking "All Lovers Are Deranged" is the stand out track. I would have loved to hear Gilmour's take on the "White City" track that Townshend penned lyrics for but as I mentioned there's no bonus tracks so I guess we'll just have to use our imagination. Gilmour did, however, use the same music and give it to Roy Harper to record with new lyrics for one of his solo albums but to the best of my knowledge Gilmour has never recorded that song himself.

The album closes out with the wittily titled instrumental "Let's Get Metaphysical" and the mediative ballad "Near the End". A fitting close to a terrific album that is well worth Pink Floyd fans attention. Although there have been complaints in the past that the album lacks the sharp lyrics of Roger Waters to compliment the music Gilmour does a capable job as lyricst and there's no way Waters would have come up with the lyrics for the two Townshend collaborations included here. A highly satisfying solo album I'd highly recommend this album to fans.

David Gilmour's second solo effort earns a LONG OVERDUE remaster.......2006-09-13

Pink Floyd's David Gilmour released his second solo album About Face in March of 1984.
The album was co-produced by Gilmour and Bob Ezrin(whom David worked with last on Pink Floyd's The Wall).
The album was recorded throughout 1983 in France.
In addition to David on vocals and guitar, he is joined by Toto drummer Jeff Porcaro, bass player Pino Palladino and keyboardist Ian Kewley(both from Paul Young's band).
David wrote eight of the ten songs himself on this album including the pulsating opener Until We Sleep, which is a great song. Murder is next and is the best track on the album with David pulling out all the stops on electric and acoustic guitars. Love on the Air is next and David wrote the music while Pete Townshend penned the lyrics to this song as well as the second half opening rocker All Lovers Are Deranged. The single Blue Light follows and is a good funky track. Steve Winwood plays Hammond Organ on this track as he did on Love on the Air. The ballad Out of the Blue ends the first half on a poignant note with the late Michael Kamen's superb orchestrations.
All Lovers Are Deranged kicked off the second half and a great rocker. The anti-Roger Waters rocker You Know I'm Right follows and showed David was still angered and upset about Waters' ill-treatment to him during the torturous Final Cut sessions(who knew the two would reconcile in 2005). Next is Cruise, which is apparently an ode to an MX nuclear-tipped cruise missile. The classical meets grand guitar instrumental Let's Get Metaphysical follows and beautifully blends Michael's orchestrations with some killer guitar work from Gilmour on his trust Fender Stratocaster. The fittingly titled Near the End ends this album on a bittersweet but beautiful note and the ending acoustic then Stratocaster solos of Gilmour's are some of his finest.
I first got About Face on cassette when I was 12 in February of 1988 and it is better on CD.
The album hit a modest #32 in the US and would eventually go Gold(500,000 copies sold) as a result.
About Face was finally re-released on September 12, 2006 on Columbia Records with digitally remastered sound, thanks to another Pink Floyd associate James Guthrie, and fully restored artwork.
The album is longer than the original CD or original album as all of the tracks have fully restored endings and the sound on this is SUPERB!
I highly recommend this album to any Floyd fan!

great band, solid album.......2007-06-12

i first saw The Working Title when they opened for Goo Goo Dolls and Counting Crows, and they made a huge impression on me, my favorite band of the night. they are masters of taking a simple idea and tweaking it slightly with instrumentation and song roadmap to make something special. i'm not talking groundbreaking stuff, but a great listen. the first track and a couple later on do hint of Brand New influences, but may not be as obvious as it was to me. their best songs on this album are actually a few tracks in which is rare these days, and even after many listens, i find myself not skipping any tracks. far enough away from the middle ground of emo, this album is a must buy for rock lovers looking for something new to listen to. go see them live if you can too!

I'm glad I gave it a shot!.......2007-02-27

I first heard The Working Title live last summer when they were an opening act. They weren't bad or anything but I wasn't overly impressed and only one song in their set (under the ground) caught my attention. I loved it, downloaded it and neglected the rest of the album, that is until recently. Bored and searching for new music I found this for exceptionally cheap and thought why not. I'm so happy I took the chance because I really like it! I enjoyed the entire thing on the first listen. "About face", the first track is good, but short. The next track, "nothing less radiant", really launches it and is a great song. "P.S." is even better. "This is not glorious" is decent, not one of my favorites, but still a wonderful listen. "Under the Ground" as I mentioned above was the 1st song I fell in love with. What can I say, it just spoke to me. It is still tied for my favorite. "The crash" is another fantastic song. And now for "something she said", this in my opinion is the absolute best song on the album! It is beautiful, sad and about letting go. After "something she said" the next three songs (weigh me down, never run again, and the mary getaway) are all fabulous. "Blind" is alright, not bad just not one I listen to often, probably my least favorite. "There is none" is my third favorite I would have to say. To me it's about frustration. "We are enslaved" is yet another enjoyable tune. This may be completely random but something about the sound of the chorus reminds me of that Seal song kiss from a rose...I don't know. The last song "turbulence" also contains a hidden track, both of which are nice and finish off the album on a good note. In summary, there is something about the album that I find comforting, honest, simple and true. Check it out if your interested. Getting it used is a steal!

The ever-working title.......2006-09-01

Not particularly my main choice of music, but if your a music enthusiast and concider it a passion then it spares itslef. First time I ever heard of this band was with my girlfriend at the time and saw them at the Knitting Factory in NYC. Out of all the bands that were there they were hands down the best perfomers there, on the level of sound clarity and stage presance. Their music to some, as I know to me, really can grab that feeling, or emotion that your looking for in a certain artist or song. One can really relate to at least one song on the album. Their music isnt non-sense, it dows mean something. It sounds like Joel (lead vocalist), might be chasing or just expressing his feelings on a past, present, or future love. Their first cd, Everyone Here Is Wrong, to me sounded better produced and Joel sounded more relaxed behind the mic. Aside from that ther cd is really great if you like soothing, relaxing music to get that peice of mind and break from the norm. I also recommend seeing them in concert, from my experience at PNC with The Counting Crows, excellent show. Enjoy.
-Brian

Great Album, Spectacular Band.......2006-08-04

The Working Title is one of those band which will likely explode over the coming months. This is their first full length album, and it is a success. There is a great diversity of tracks which showcases Joel and the band's range. There is no one extraordinary track, but instead nearly every track is great. My favorite tracks include Weigh Me Down, Crash, and Under the Ground. This album has been in the works for a long time and it was worth the wait.

Although this is a great album, you really need to see them live. They have amazing energy and a kind of passion for their music you can rarely find. They are currently on tour with the goo goo dolls and counting crows which I'm sure will be good, but if you can see them in a smaller more intimate venue you'll be blown away. Earlier this year they played together with Augustana (another great new band) making for perhaps the best show I've ever been to.

really good........2006-07-30

i bought this on the release date as well. this band's songwriting and maturity is really impressive. i would have to say my favorites are this is not glorious, the crash, and there is none. the disc sounds great and some production duty was handled by dave bryson (counting crows) definitely get this. one of the year's best.

Great set of wartime rarities.......2003-05-14

Spike Jones was the king of the novelty song performers, with hits like "Der Fuehrer's Face" and the parody version of "Sheik of Araby" becoming huge hits during World War II. This is a swell 3-CD set, gathering a full eighty-one of Jones' best tracks from his 1940s heyday, drawn from an extensive archive of radio broadcasts made for the Standard Transcription service. The tightness of his City Slickers band is amply demonstrated in these manic, kookily orchestrated performances. Toots, squonks, blatts and bleats whiz by at lightning speed, as one daffy song after another will delight devoted fans. Amazingly, Jones had the unusual, almost unique ability to perform a repertoire almost entirely made up of comedic material, and yet still be quite listenable and engaging. His jazz chops were hardly in question, and from time to time Jones would dash off a non-novelty ballad or two, just to give the rubes something to think about. Of course, just as often he would perform a song that *sounded* like a straight ballad, but would turn out to be another goof. (One great example of this is the sultry "Serenade To A Jerk," sung in slinky, burlesque tones by Myrtle Horwin.) This collection may seem a little overwhelming, but like his studio recordings, these radio performances have a certain brilliance and joie de vivre about them that will leave you enchanted. Definitely worth checking out!

Standard Transcription Collection.......2003-04-12

This collection has remastered material from the large stack of Standard Transcription discs from the early 1940's. There are many songs not recorded on RCA, many on the theme of wartime ("48 Reasons Why"), and the quality is excellent. The packaging is threadbare but this is an essential CD package for true music lovers.

Great compilation.......2002-05-10

I don't actually own this particular compilation, however, since I own nearly every recording represented on these discs...I think I'm qualified to comment. This is a wonderful representation of the high quality of work that DRG Records does.
The previous review is way off the mark. This is definitely not a waste of time or money. This is 25 years of preserving Broadway shows, Off-Broadway shows, studio recordings (mostly from the city center concerts), etc. So what if they "aren't as good as the original", DRG is preserving many recordings and artists that other mainstream labels don't or won't. You have wonderful recordings from Brian Stokes Mitchell, Nathan Lane, Debbie Gravitte, Tyne Daly, Anthony Perkins, Joanna Gleason, Marin Mazzie, Carol Burnett, Heather Headley, Patti LuPone, Barbara Cook, etc., and many of these are from Original Cast Recordings just as they appeared on Broadway. This is an excellent sampler of the work going on at DRG. No...I'm not an employee...just an avid listener and collector of theatre recordings.

A disappointment.......2001-12-15

There's a reason you've probably never heard of most of the songs and shows on this album, not to mention most of the artists. This is a second-rate collection of second-rate numbers performed by mostly second-rate artists. In the case of the shows that were revivals, the performances on the original cast recordings were better. Don't waste your money.

Recorded following the fractious and unhappy sessions for Pink Floyd's The Final Cut, About Face represented a new start for David Gilmour. Freed from his tempestuous collaboration with Roger Waters, Gilmour was able to fall in love with the recording process all over again. The remarkably relaxed and confident About Face stands head and shoulders above anything Gilmour has done with the latter-day incarnation of the Floyd. With its dramatic crescendos and lyrics about "voices in your head," "Murder" is the most Floyd-like track on the album. Other highlights include the propulsive opener "Until We Sleep," the Dylanesque piano ballad "Out of the Blue," and the funky, horn-driven "Blue Light." The energy level flags a bit, but Gilmour's playing is dazzling throughout. It's an excellent effort, overall, and one which should appeal to more than just Floyd fans. --Dan Epstein

Pink Floyd fan's (like me) be honnest please.......2007-02-20

Hey, I'm a Pink Floyd fan, but being a fan doesn't mean you have to rate everything a band, or even a band member has released, as a five star rating !
To help you see more clearly, here's some example of five, four and three stars rating. If you don't see difference in these cd, see a doctor !
Five stars goes to an album like "Wish you were here"
Four stars goes to an album like "Momentary lapse of reason"
Three stars goesn to the first solo album of David, just a good cd.
Two stars goes to this one, be honnest and don't compare it with "Wish you..." for instance. Listen to "Blue light", "Cruise" or "All lovers are derandged" and see that About face is not a great cd, few good cuts and nothing more.

David's pulls an about face and says Roger who?.......2007-01-31

The follow up to Final Cut is a breath of fresh air for Gilmour, who couldn't contribute much to Roger's last 2 masterpieces. David has a lot of pent up anger here and it helped the creation of a few tracks here "you know I'm right" which is David's version of Lennon's "how do you sleep"
Speaking of Lennon, "Murder" is a tribute to that sad day 12/80.
About Face and the first solo record David Gilmour are David's own stellar creations and he proves he can pull it off.

Just don't feel it.......2006-03-09

Most of Floyd to me is timeless. Gilmour's solo stuff sounds dated in my opinion. That's certainly not a bad thing in and of itself but this record just seems a bit too 80's poppish to me. The song Love On The Air is just ridiculous. Of course I've never cared for Townsends style of writing and think he's written several songs that just can't be taken serious. I find no songs on this record worth even putting on a compilatation. Off to the used cd store with this one.

About halfway good.......2006-02-08

Your search likely led you here looking for more great music by the guys who brought you Pink Floyd. Don't get your hopes to high like I did those many years ago. David Gilmour is great guitarist and mediocre songwriter - nothing he's put out as a solo artist or as the leader of the post-Waters Pink Floyd lite would make you think otherwise. It's very similar to "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" in many ways, but he's at least trying to make it on his own here. Both this album and "AMLOR" are very listenable, but they're not the desert island discs some of these reviews make them out to be.

Gilmour takes control and delivers a terrific album.......2006-01-29

To put it real simply, Pink Floyd were having major issues in the mid-'80s. Roger Waters pretty much wanted Pink Floyd to himself, as 1983's "The Final Cut" shows. Seemingly fed up with Floyd, and with a reservoir of unused compositions built up, David Gilmour brought back Bob Ezrin as co-producer, recruited a whole bunch of extremely talented players (Pino Palladino, Jeff Porcaro, and Steve Winwood, to name a few), and went about making his second solo album, "About Face", originally released in March of 1984.

"About Face" is an interesting title for the album. It could be taken as a sly jab of sorts at Waters. It could also be applied somewhat to the music... Granted, you really can't expect to completely take the Floyd out of Gilmour's sound, but it's not like fans would desire that of him anyway. However, the album finds Gilmour in control and doing things his way--Pete Townshend wrote the lyrics for two of the songs ("Love On The Air" & "All Lovers Are Deranged"), but otherwise, Gilmour wrote all of the tracks on the album himself--and David does have quite a few surprises up his sleeve here.

One thing that's pretty revelatory is to discover that Gilmour could deliver such an incredibly funky, uptempo pop-rocker with "Blue Light". Using his patented guitar echo, Gilmour bases this song around a mind-blowingly infectious guitar riff, and the song is an absolute blast, with additional thanks to the punchy horn arrangement. Also notice his very humourous, albeit slightly self-righteous spoken voiceover toward the end of the song. Granted, you could argue that precedence was set by some of the stuff on "The Wall", but still, it's pretty hard to imagine hearing something like "Blue Light" cropping up on a Pink Floyd record.

Another striking element is that on a couple tracks, Gilmour sounds uncannily like Leonard Cohen, both in terms of the guitar-style and with the stately lead vocals. There's "Cruise", which is breezy and splendidly tuneful; and "Near The End", which is a hauntingly beautiful album-closing ballad, with acoustic guitar soloing neatly giving way to a soaring electric toward the end.

And there's more great stuff. The album-opening harmony-fest "Until We Sleep" is surprisingly reminiscent of psychedelic-era Beatles--a very catchy song that grooves along irresistibly. The roaring "All Lovers Are Deranged" is a brilliant, cathartic mid-tempo rocker with gloriously from-the-gut vocals from David on the chorus. "Murder" is an explosive 'power ballad' of sorts that starts off in Dylan-esque acoustic mode and features sumptuously melodic fretless bass guitar work. The contemplative orchestrated ballad "You Know I'm Right" is also excellent, with a rhythmically deceptive first verse, and a simple arpegiatted guitar part that recalls "Raise My Rent" from David's first solo album.

Others have complained about Gilmour's lyrics, saying things like "he's no Roger Waters" or that "writing lyrics isn't his forte". Granted, he didn't exactly make "About Face" an elaborate concept album, but regardless of this, his lyrics here are uniformly excellent--poetic and eloquently-written--and his precise renderings make the most of them.

One minor gripe is that Gilmour does have a bit of a tendency to get carried away with his wailing, effect-laden electric guitar work. Don't get me wrong, I realize it's a trademark of his, and on songs like "All Lovers Are Deranged", it simply rocks. Sometimes though, it does feels out of place in the context of the particular track--the most glaring example of this is on the instrumental "Let's Get Metaphysical" which has Gilmour wailing away backed by a full orchestra, and in this case, it's just not an appealing combination.

Overall though, this album is an excellent "About Face" for David Gilmour, and I think it's worth a try even if you're NOT a huge Pink Floyd fan. "About Face" is a must-have album for any serious listener.

(P.S. Listening to this CD version of the album, I notice a surprising amount of 'drop outs' on several of the songs which can be somewhat distracting, and it makes me wonder about the source that was used for this CD transfer. That said, this album could really use a nice remastering job.)

The BEST Gershwin/Porter album.......2004-02-11

Perhaps I'm romanticizing, but this was THE cd I listened to in high school. The arrangements are absolutely captivating; building new material over the original themes while referencing them so purely. I couldn't imagine a better use of your money than purchasing this album, it will bring you years of joy!

Glowing Coles of Porter..........2004-01-15

I can only comment on the Porter half of this recording, as I own it on original vinyl. It's a mono copy, but you wouldn't know it. As usual, excellent engineering from Mercury, who set standards in the early 60's that still count (IMHO) as best practice.

Frederick Fennell is right at home in the warmth of these beautifully wrought Ray Wright orchestrations. As he should be; Wright's day job was orchestrating for Radio City Music Hall. The sound is lush, the dynamics amazing, the performance spot on. It gets four stars only because I can't justify five, not having heard the Gershwin half.

I suppose that if you can't find a nice copy to play on a good turntable with a warm amplifier, then this CD would do - but then, you miss the excitement of hearing sound you've been taught can only come from a CD, magically floating straight up from ancient vinyl.
