MASON + FENN: PROFILES

This album, unlike Nick Mason's previous release, "Fictitious Sports" should please Pink Floyd fands. Although Mason and Rick Fenn play most of the instruments on the album, there is a definite Floyd feeling throughout the first side of the record. And David Gilmour makes an appearance, too, singing lead on Lie For A Lie. Rick Fenn's guitar is so Gilmour-like so often that I wonder if he didn't get effects tips from Gilmour himself.

Israel the opener of side 2 of the record, has Danny Petronel singing. And he sure has his David Bowie on for that recording. Much of side 2 is in a more 1980's electronic vein, and for that, it seems much more dated than the first side. But it's still not a bad album.
