Opiniones editoriales

With Broken China, Pink Floyd's resident keyboard genius looks profoundly toward the future. This album explores deep musical terrain with evocative polyrhythms, world music influences and classical-sonic landscapes; as one would expect from Wright, the overall feeling is mysterious and brooding. Noted musicians include drummer Manu Katche (Peter Gabriel) and influential bassist Pino Palladino. Two tracks, "Reaching for the Rail" and "Breakthrough," feature compelling vocals by Sinead O'Connor."

The (Final) Return of Wright

Calificado en Estados Unidos el 12 de febrero de 2012

Compra verificada

I used to be a huge Pink Floyd fan. My very favorite Floyd album, by far, had always been (and still is) Wish You Were Here. OK, I'm a keyboard player so of course the keyboard heavy works had to be my favorite. Simply put, I always thought of Pink Floyd through the sound of Richard Wright. Even though I have always been a Rick Wright fan this is the first time I have ever listened to one of his solo albums.

A lot of the time this sounds a lot like Pink Floyd, more so than A Final Cut (not Floyd but a Water's solo album) or even A Momentary Lapse of Reason (not Floyd but a Gilmore solo album). Sometimes it sounds too much like Floyd - the guitar parts often sound like they are channeling Gilmore.

For the most part, though, I think it is pure Wright. If it sounds like Floyd it is because his sound was what, to my ears, made Floyd. Even their early sound was created much more by his keyboard work than Barret's or Gilmore's guitar. I can hear echoes (no pun intended) of earlier Floyd music on this album, but nothing is obviously lifted from an earlier work - everything here is new.

One small problem for me - Wright's voice works well a lot of the time but I wished he had chosen to have more guest vocalists. The two times he used Sinead O'Connor really, to my ears, make this stand out more - it was a nice break. Not a huge deal and the more I listen the more his voice grows on me. Still, if only Sinead were used on one or two more songs...

Unfortunately we will not hear any more new Richard Wright - he is playing "The Great Gig in the Sky". Such a huge loss to the music world... But he did leave a lot of wonderful music, including Broken China, an album that any Richard Wright fan, or Pink Floyd fan for that matter, should listen to.

Fine Rick Wright Solo Album

Calificado en Estados Unidos el 22 de junio de 2011

Compra verificada

Rick Wright dedicated his 1996 album, "Broken China," to all those brave enough to face their past. With an introduction like that, one might get the impression that the songs on this CD are a downer, the type that get weighed under by their own heavy issues. True, some tracks are meditative, but the music is often upbeat and interesting. A big part of this is because of the musicians involved. Manu Katche, Pino Palladino, and Tim Renwick add flesh to the subtle space-age keyboards Wright became famous for during his stay in Pink Floyd. While the presence of Sinead O'Connor, who lends vocals to two tracks, may initially sound out of place here, her voice suits the material quite nicely.

This 16-song cycle, written by Wright and Anthony Moore, was released shortly after Pink Floyd's last studio album, "The Division Bell," and illustrates that Wright was a more prolific composer than most Floyd albums would lead us to believe. Moreover, the melodies are tight and smartly arranged.

In regard to packaging, the CD booklet is designed by long-time Floyd collaborator, Storm Thorgerson, and includes the lyrics, as well as front and back cover artwork reminiscent of "Wish You Were Here."

The comparisons between the themes of both "Wish You Were Here" and "Broken China" can't be overlooked. Conceptually, both albums mirror each other. Consider this lyric from "Breakthrough," the final track on the Wright CD. "You hide somewhere / you die somewhere / and then this senseless thought, / by hating more / you're feeling more / and that's how you get caught."

Yet, "Broken China" has an identity all its own. The strength of the material is a testament that Rick Wright was a skillful composer and a talented solo artist. I give the CD three stars for everything stated above. Recommended for the Pink Floyd completist.

A Great Musician Regains his Confidence

Calificado en Estados Unidos el 11 de noviembre de 2002

Compra verificada

As if Pink Floyd keyboard virtuoso Richard Wright hadn't already made himself a "mystery musician" with his complex dazzling music and one-sided empty grin, his 1996 solo fare "Broken China" firmly established that enigmatic tone his music has always seemed to take.
Perhaps the most fulfilling thing about Wright's "Broken China" is that the keyboardist is found back in tune with himself, his purpose, and his music. Wright is often known to be unsatisfied with a lot of his work, and a bad case of writer's block in the late 1970s resulted in his exodus from Pink Floyd and two less than perfect solo projects. However, with "Broken China," the confidence which Wright regained from his reunion with Floyd has obviously paid off as he goes solo once more.
This 16-song cycle is a semi-conceptual piece dealing with the state of depression, something Wright's music expresses without flaws; his glistening musical arrangements blend together in a surreal flow, with the classic electronic touch. Former Pink Floyd session-contributor Anthony Moore's assistance is worthwhile on such great tracks as 'Night Of a Thousand Furry Toys,' 'Woman Of Custom,' and especially 'Reaching For the Rail' and 'Breakthrough' (both of which see Sinead O'Connor in guest spots). But Wright's work alone in the musical value makes "Broken China" the great work it is, evident on 'Satellite' and 'Sweet July.'
"Broken China" may very well be Richard Wright's masterpiece so far, even if the "new age" label is a bit far fetched. The confidence of a great musician is back and gleaming, and the album's ultimate result is above satisfactory.

Entspannt und Unaufgeregt

Calificado en Alemania el 26 de febrero de 2019

Compra verificada

Auch das zweite Solo-Album des Richard Wright ist ein ruhiges und entspanntes geworden. Nicht weiter verwunderlich, denn nichts anderes hätte zu Richard Wright gepasst. „Broken China“ wurde 1996 veröffentlicht und auf diesem Album verarbeitet Richard Wright die Depressionserkrankung seiner Frau. Es gibt wieder einige Instrumentalnummern, wie auch Titel, auf denen Richard Wright die Texte einsingt. Dazu gesellen sich noch mit „Reaching For The Rail“ und „Breakthrough“ zwei Lieder, bei denen Sinéad O’Connor beim Gesang zu hören ist.

Stellt man Vergleiche zu „Wet Dream“ an – und die müssen zwangsläufig bei nur zwei Solo-Alben kommen – fällt auf, dass die Instrumentalstücke auf dem ersten Album deutlich gelungener wirken. Dort sind sie mitreißender, melodiöser und eingängiger, auf „Broken China“ geben diese Instrumentallieder eher Stimmungen wieder, transportieren Atmosphäre, die mitunter auch sehr dünn geraten sein kann. Klar, eine Depression ist nun mal auch keine lustige Angelegenheit, trotzdem wirken diese Nummern mitunter einfach zu sphärisch und damit auch etwas langweilig.

Dies trifft jedoch keineswegs für die Titel zu, auf den Richard Wright und / oder Sinéad O’Connor singen. Hier wird das Ganze dann sehr viel spannender. Ich gebe zu, ich mag die Stimme des Richard Wright wirklich sehr, gerade weil sie irgendwie so zurückhaltend klingt. Andere mögen das als langweilig empfinden, für mich passt das bestens zu dieser Art der Musik. Durch diesen sanften Gesang, wirkt die ebenfalls sehr ruhige Musik noch sehr viel eindringlicher. Dazu erschafft Richard Wright auch auf „Broken China“ wieder einige wunderschöne Melodien, die man bereits nach kurzer Zeit nicht mehr missen möchte.

Als ich die Platte zum ersten Mal auflegte, war ich fast ein wenig enttäuscht, da sie so anders klang als „Wet Dream“ und auch deutlich weniger eingängig war. Ersteres stimmt voll, letzteres allerdings hauptsächlich nur für die bereits erwähnten Instrumentalnummern. Diese können zwar wie im Falle von „Satellite“ auch durchaus nach Pink Floyd klingen, insgesamt schaffen es diese Titel jedoch nicht restlos zu überzeugen. Bei den Liedern mit Text ist es allerdings so, dass diese zwar einige Zeit, sprich Durchläufe benötigen, sich dann jedoch ebenfalls unauslöschbar festsetzen. Musik also, die mehrmals gehört werden möchte, um dann noch häufiger gehört zu werden.

Fazit: Mir gefällt das, was ich auf „Broken China“ höre. Insgesamt auf jeden Fall. Wieder einmal war Richard Wright ein herrlich entspanntes und unaufgeregtes Album gelungen, welches mit jedem weiteren Hören noch zu wachsen versteht. Die Instrumentalnummern sind oftmals eher sphärischer Natur, die Gesangsnummern meist äußerst melodiös. Ein ruhiges Album, ein angenehmes Album und ein schönes Album.

Dark and fragile themes - on 'Rick' Wright solo album.

Calificado en el Reino Unido el 22 de agosto de 2021

Compra verificada

After a gap of 18 years; Pink Floyd founding member,keyboard player,vocalist and song writer - Richard Wright - released his second solo studio album: Broken China - in 1996.
Credited to Rick Wright - his more coloquially known name - it has the vibes of a concept album,in the fine tradition of his band - Pink Floyd.
I find it a very atmospheric sounding album and lyrically very dark and personal to Mr Wright's life - quite revealing and - at least - semi-autobiographical in nature.

Interspersed with instrumental and vocal tracks: it covers themes of childhood - Night of a thousand furry toys (with child-like sound effects and dogs barking - for good measure).moving on to the story of a woman not realising her true potential,before it's too late on - Woman of custom.with similar theme resurfacing on - Blue room in Venice - Rick's regret at a failed relationship?
The recurring theme of water - flows through (forgive the dreadful pun😂) the album on tracks; Breaking water,Far from the harbour wall,Drowning and Along the shoreline - relevant in the life of Rick Wright,or used as metaphors!
Apart from the innuendo of instrumental: Unfair ground - with sound of fairground music and children's voices (again) - I don't detect much humour on the album.on the whole a very serious affair.
Rick W's vocals start off a bit ropey but improve as the album progresses.

After the generally slow-paced nature of the album (pretty good by the way),the story comes through on 'the other side' with the first real upbeat,rocky track: Along the shoreline - to lift the spirits!
'ControversiaI' Irish songstress - Sinead O' Connor - contributes lead vocals on two tracks: Far from the harbour wall (shared with Rick's vocals) and singing exclusive solo vocals on closing track: Breakthrough.both giving a Celtic feel to proceedings.

Broken China - is not an instant classic album,but give it a few listens,and you should appreciate it a bit more - like i did.
A fine contribution of musicians on the album. EG: ubiquitous session guitarist - Tim Renwick - superb on; Runaway,Satelite et al,Dominic Miller (guitar) - hear him on Sweet July and Acoustic on Breakthrough,legendary bass guitarist - Pino palladino,another Palladino (Moz) on backing vocals,Manu Katche - drums (Sting,Peter Gabriel) - that's enough to be going on with - all very fine contributors.
Sleeve design and artwork by long time 'Floyd contributor - Storm Thorgerson and Peter Curzon (of Hipgnosis),all music composed by RW and main lyrics by Anthony Moore (additional by Gerry Gordon) - who are also co-producers for the album.
The final notes on the credits: "To all those brave enough to face their past" is a big clue to Broken China's themes and concept.
NB: a highly recommended release by the 'quiet one' of Pink floyd - but as once quoted "The great unsung hero of the Floyd".
PS: remembering Richard Wright - with much foundness - 1943-2008.

Good music is just good music

Calificado en el Reino Unido el 29 de mayo de 2015

Good music is just good music. And this is.
Sometimes time goes by and we forget to look back, or we move past things that we think are not quite up to scratch as we're absorbed in something else. This album is like that. PF were a great band, wrote some great music and generally dominated a genre for many years. Broken China came and went, I had a copy on vinyl, something happened to it, can't even remember how many listens I gave it. So I bought this as a reminder to myself that good music is always good, regardless of the passing of time.
This is an honest album, it really feels like a personal record penned by a man who needed an outlet for his creativity that he just wasn't getting with the monster he was mostly associated with. The songs are simple, well put together, with touching vocals. There are some good musicians on the album, and it just feels right. (pun?)
You get a feel for where Mr Wright's influence lay within PF, as well as a glimpse at where he was frustrated with his ideas.
In places this inevitably sounds a bit PF, but never in a bad way. Rick Wright was an integral part of PF.
I like this album for its quiet surety. No flash, no shouting about ability, history, 'heritage', or anything other than good music.
It stands the test of time. Well worth a listen if you like the lighter side of song-writing and don't mind the odd PF reference.
Good stuff.

This now somewhat dated CD (1996 ) by the Keyboard man for Pink Floyd is a solo effort with a definite Echo of the Major Band from Which he came from. Like David Gilmour did in his first solo effort Richard Wright has stuck to the script which has proven to be so successful for the members over the years while they played in Pink Floyd. The Various Songs are individual to be sure however there is a Pink Floyd shadow in the background of most every song, and that is just fine by this writer. Richard also did another Solo effort later on before he passed on and this was a little more individual in its make up, again this is just like David Gilmore's evolution. The jacket artwork was done by Storm Thorgason and it is simply fantastic that is nice as Storm died a while ago and wont be doing any more jacket artwork any longer. IMO this is as good as any Floyd disc, and is as complete; containing seven tracks; An Interlude; Then moving on with another Eight Tracks before closing.
