Jonny Come Lately
The New Kid In Town
One thing that unites the two post-Waters Pink Floyd albums is that they both open with an atmospheric instrumental track - Signs of Life on A Momentary Lapse of Reason, and Cluster One on The Division Bell. So I thought I'd create a poll where you can choose your favourite of these two:
Signs of Life - Pink Floyd (1987)
Cluster One - Pink Floyd (1994)
I prefer Cluster One myself, I think the music is more powerful, you can definitely hear Rick Wright's input (not only does he play the piano and synthesisers, but he co-wrote the song) and I like David Gilmour's guitar sound on it, which reminds me a bit of some of Mark Knopfler's playing, whereas I find the guitar on Signs of Life sounds much more of its time. Overall I think Signs of Life is a decent enough composition, but Cluster One is better.
