THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON REDUX

After the tortuous recording process of "The Final Cut", Roger Waters unilaterally decreed the end of Pink Floyd, claiming that they had no more to offer and that the music was part of the past, from which he wanted to move on. Not to mention his open contempt for his former bandmates.

But given the discreet results of his solo works (except for the very interesting "Amused to Death" and some sparks of "Is This the Life We Really Want?"), it seems that Waters came to his senses and retraced his steps, and for a little less than 20 years he has dedicated himself to orbiting endlessly over the same works that supposedly no longer stimulated him, to define it in some way.

I love Pink Floyd's music, especially in Waters' time, he is undoubtedly one of the great characters of the progressive genre and rock in general while he was part of the band, I have been lucky enough to attend and enjoy some of his commemorative shows in recent times.

But beyond that, the way he has found to keep himself relevant, almost desperately, has led him down a thorny path that, with this "Redux" of the legendary "The Dark Side of the Moon", closer to a common scratchy chill out recreation, does not honour the original album and I personally consider it blurs him.

Unnecessary.
