Wet Dream [Import]

You can get this CD, exactly the same, at FYE.com for $11.99. I just don't understand why it costs so much here!!! WHY WHY?!!!

Pink Floyd keyboardist Rick Wright released his first solo album Wet Dream in September of 1978. Richard Wright's first solo album was written and recorded at the beginning of his forced stretch of "writer's block" at the hands of bandmate Roger Waters. The album was recorded in France in early 1978 after bandmate David Gilmour finished his solo debut. The fact that his creative frustrations make themselves apparent is both good and bad for Wright. There are many highlights on the album like Pink's Song (though allegedly written for his children's tutor, the song might be about Syd Barrett, we don't know), Against the Odds is also a great song as well. The other tracks with lyrics, Summer Elegy and Holiday are genuinely great works of art and Snowy White's guitar work on these tracks is just superb(Snowy had worked with Rick on Pink Floyd's 1977 tour as second guitarist). The six remaining tracks are instrumentals like the atmospheric Mediterranean C, the relaxing Waves, the jazzy Drop in From the Top and the closing funk workout Funky Deux. I first got this album on CD in December of 1994(I was 18 then) as part of my Floyd collection and loved it at first listen despite the fact I didn't hear a single note before buying it. I still have it today and unfortunately the album is Out Of Print. Highly recommended!
