IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE?

The most sensational progrock live act ever (both musically and visually) needed a sensational package must EMI have thought : a giant box contains 2-CD's and a luxurous booklet with lots of fascinating and exciting pictures (including Gerald Scarfe his unique and venomous painting skills, live-shots and architectural drawings) and interesting stories about the band from the members themselves and people around them (light, sound). How ironically to read that 1) Roger Waters wrote his semi-autobiographical story about nasty figures (politicians, teachers, mothers) but around that time he had been turned out to be a kind of psychopatic personality himself and 2) the story is about non-communication and that all members refused to communicate with each other...! But that's human and projection is one of the strongest defense-mecanismes once dr. Freud said. And now for something completely different, the music on this 2-CD box. Well, amazing and mindblowing, from the performance of the musicians and the instrumental improvisations to the sound and the atmosphere. If you close your eyes, you will be carried away to cloud number nine in progrock heaven!! An essential historical document but please, EMI: release that DVD footage from "The Wall"!
