Great musician, very floydian, surely many of us miss him. I have these two albums, and here there is a selection of tracks of each one of them. WD = Wet Dream BCH = Broken China So choose two songs of each album as maximum.

Haven't heard Broken China for a long time, time to dig it out...... Love Wet Dream - fave track will always be Funky Deux. I won't vote yet, but love the WD opener Mediterranean C from this list. |

Haven't memorized the song titles so I don't know. Both very good as a whole, though. ------------- |

Holiday and Breakthrough. I prefer the live version of Breakthrough though, I think it is very special. ------------- I am currently digging: Hawkwind, Rare Bird, Gong, Tangerine Dream, Khan, Iron Butterfly, and all things canterbury and hard-psych. I also love jazz! Please drop me a message with album suggestions. |

I agree with you, the live performance with Rick on vocals is better than the original. As you say it was a very special moment, and his voice is very floydian.

| My fav Richard Wright track is Pink's song, but it's not included there. |

I also prefer the live version of Breakthrough. Actually, I never particularly liked the studio version, but when Gilmour invited Rick to play it with him, whith all the arrangements and the added Gilmour guitar and Dick Parry's sax (plus the backing vocals), the song was just about converted into a lost Pink Floyd song, and I really love how it sounds. |

.......I didn't mean to........Snowy White is awesome too on his leads..... WD was the first vinyl I ever bought back in 1987 !! Means the world to me..... |

Summer Elegy and Waves................however the whole WD album is epic, perhaps my fave out of Gilmour, Mason and Wright solo's ------------- ...As I venture through the slipstream, between the viaducts in your dreams...[/COLOR] |

^ maybe but my pedantic self disqualifies that beauty as it is not a studio album. Think I will get into some " Fictitious Sports" this next day or so........Bring that beer over here cos I need it to steer reminds me also not to forget the Zee album, I enjoyed that too  ------------- ...As I venture through the slipstream, between the viaducts in your dreams...[/COLOR] |

^ You can check here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLB41BD88DEE3CB28E Rick Fenn from 10cc on guitar and Dave Gilmour on vocals in one song (not a great thing). The insrumental Malta sounds great for me.

The Choke must be broke.......... Mad Yannis Dance is superb. Wright's keyboards just envelope the mind. Never tire from Wet Dream, although Broken China is no slouch either. |

I was listening it today. Mad Yannis Dance is ok, but I prefer Drop in front the top, this hammond sound. In any case my prefered is Summer Elegiy, a Wright trademark with this absolutely stunning solo by Snowy White.

| ^ Just a classy album all 'round, with excellent players, including the guys from Robin Trower's band. |

Mediterranean C and
Waves. ------------- When he rides, my fears subside. For darkness turns once more to light. Through the skies, his white horse flies. To find a land beyond the night. |
