Additionally, at that time in late 1986, Waters had opened court proceedings against the band and was attempting to stop them from using the Pink Floyd name. This was because he found out a bank account had been opened to deal exclusively with all monies related to “the new Pink Floyd project”, and he was set to receive nothing.

Blake 2008, pp.37–38: Mason meeting Waters while studying architecture at the London Polytechnic; Fitch 2005, p.335: Waters meeting Mason while studying architecture at the London Polytechnic. Fitch 2005, pp.359–360: Peter Wynne-Willson; Mason 2005, pp.78–79: Wynne-Willson updated the band's lighting rig with some innovative ideas. Comparing the old and new versions of "Learning to Fly," the 2019 mix strips away some of the over-the-top, gated reverb-y drum machine fills, replacing them with live drums. Newfound fills from Wright are also added in, giving the song a more band-like feel while keeping some of the sonic fingerprint of the original. The whole album remains tastefully done - an alternate experience that will sure to be a treat." With the tour still going strong a year later, a five-night stint at New York’s Nassau Coliseum was recorded in August 1988 and mixed the following month at Abbey Road. The result was Pink Floyd’s first live album in almost 20 years, Delicate Sound Of Thunder, released in November. Norwegiancharts.com – Pink Floyd – A Momentary Lapse of Reason". Hung Medien.

Waters disparaged the first Pink Floyd album without him as “a pretty fair forgery”. And in many respects that’s exactly what it was. A Momentary Lapse… was as much a David Gilmour solo album as the The Final Cut had been a Roger Waters solo album. For the first time since 1977's Animals, designer Storm Thorgerson was employed to work on a Pink Floyd studio album cover. His finished design was a long river of hospital beds arranged on a beach, inspired by a phrase from " Yet Another Movie" and Gilmour's vague hint of a design that included a bed in a Mediterranean house, as well as "vestiges of relationships that have evaporated, leaving only echoes". [47] The cover shows hundreds of hospital beds assembled in July 1987 on Saunton Sands in North Devon, [48] where some of the scenes for Pink Floyd – The Wall were filmed. [49] [50] The beds were arranged by Thorgerson's colleague Colin Elgie. [51] A hang glider in the sky references "Learning to Fly". The photographer, Robert Dowling, won a gold award at the Association of Photographers Awards for the image, which took about two weeks to create. Some versions of the cover do not feature the hang glider, and other versions feature a nurse making one of the beds. [52] Pink Floyd's Facebook post on 7 September 2020 titled "Here's a look at the creation of the cover of the #PinkFloyd album A Momentary Lapse of Reason, with footage taken from The Later Years boxset" featuring the video excerpt "Cover shoot for Pink Floyd's A Momentary Lapse of Reason" (1:00) Gilmour recorded his second solo album, About Face, in 1984, and used it to express his feelings about a variety of topics, from the murder of John Lennon to his relationship with Waters. He later stated that he used the album to distance himself from Pink Floyd. Soon afterwards, Waters began touring his first solo album, The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking (1984). [189] Wright formed Zee with Dave Harris and recorded Identity, which went almost unnoticed upon its release. [190] [nb 39] Mason released his second solo album, Profiles, in August 1985.

NME. 27 September 2020. Gilmour found the musical motif for the album he was looking for when Ezrin decided to record the sound of the River Thames outside the Astoria, one foggy winter morning, along with the sound of a creaking rowboat. The recording was then used as the album’s instrumental overture, Signs Of Life. The metaphor of an unending flow of water, of energy, of life, would become a lasting one for the new Gilmour-led Pink Floyd.

Gilmour presented A Momentary Lapse as a return to an older Pink Floyd sound, citing his belief that under Waters' tenure, lyrics had become more important than music. He said that their albums The Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here were successful "not just because of Roger's contributions, but also because there was a better balance between the music and the lyrics [than on later albums]". [65] Waters said of A Momentary Lapse: "I think it's very facile, but a quite clever forgery...The songs are poor in general; the lyrics I can't quite believe. Gilmour's lyrics are very third-rate." [66] Wright said Waters' criticisms were "fair". [53] In a later interview, Waters said the album had "a couple of really nice tunes" and chord sequences and melodies he would have retained had he been involved. [67] DeRogatis, Jim (2006).
