Roger Waters - The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking
..For the first time today......
(sorry i used the US album cover.......just gotta keep it censored proof)
The Pros and Cons was his 1984 masterpiece concept album based on a rather bizarre hitch hiking expedition gone wrong.....or right ....depends on how you look at this I guess !
Roger Waters continues here very much where 'The Final Cut' left off basically with a deep collaboration of rock and classical genres. This album being in fact co-produced by both Waters and Michael Kamen (yup the same guy who wrote a ton a soundtrack music scores...including my fav Band Of Brothers!) . Waters is at his best here for sure and fans of Pink Floyd will love this album.
Typical of Roger's music it ebbs and flows and along the way you are treated to some fantastic melodies and musical bits.
There is no shortage of sound bytes and samples from the imagination of Roger Waters as well all the way thru making this feel more like a movie soundtrack than an solo album.
All lyrics and music was written by Roger Waters with some great musical guests contributing to this masterpiece....Eric Clapton - Electric Guitar, Andy Bown - Hammond Organ & 12 String Guitar , Ray Cooper - Percussion, Michael Kamen - Piano,
Andy Newmark - Drums, David Sanborn - Saxophone with backing vocals by Madeline Bell, Katie Kissoon and Doreen Chanter. The National Philharmonic Orchestra was conducted and arranged by Michael Kamen.
Even a guest star appearance of Jack Palance .........see it's just like a movie !
