Add to this some classic Dave Gilmour guitar breaks, and lyrics like вЂњlove turns grey, like the skin of a dying manвЂќ and the first two sides are a chilling Floyd classic.Д«ut there are two more sides to go, from which one presumably concludes that the suicide wasnвЂ™t real after all, or that the вЂњwallвЂќ theme is now being localised to the FloydвЂ™s own problems.

Sound effects from bird song to random television noise build up the feeling of alienation, while the music uses the full range of the FloydвЂ™s long-established talents, from grand melodic themes to gentle acoustic patches, held together by the mesmeric, jangling choruses of Another Brick In The Wall (in which a London childrenвЂ™s choir perfectly follows WaterвЂ™s clipped vocals). As the wall is built and the figure inside gets more crazy, there are attacks on those he sees laying tile bricks - schoolteacher, mother, lover and wife. From the first sounds of a baby crying to the final suicide note, Waters describes the вЂњwallвЂќ that he sees built around people, cutting them off from each other and leaving them frightened and lonely inside.

The most accessible, central part of the work is contained on the first two sides. No, this is not easy listening.ДЄlbum cover of Pink FloydвЂ™s The Wall, 1979. And that comes after a whole depressing life and death вЂњWallвЂќ saga. ThereвЂ™s a parody of FloydвЂ™s famous stage-show special effects, and he asks вЂњis this not what you expected to see?вЂќ The question is not answered until the song is repeated on side four, by which time his vision has become so wild that a neo-Nazi gang are on stage in place of the Floyd, checking вЂњwhere you fans really standвЂќ and taking gays, blacks and Jews from the audience. The first bombastic passage shows that he will be questioning his own role with the Floyd, rather than just the alienated society he sees about him. Roger Waters, who wrote almost all of The Wall, has never sounded less complacent or more suicidal. ItвЂ™s a strong, frightening statement that shows why the Floyd never were вЂ“ yes, and are still not вЂ“ redundant, in spite of their wealth and success, because they still question themselves and the world around them. This album will either be praised or damned.

But shows that those members of the new wave who attacked the band because of their vast concerts and use of elaborate technology, had really missed the point. This is a long, uneven work that seems to lose direction on the confusing third and fourth sides, and it veers uneasily between crazy indulgence and nihilistic brilliance. It also suggests that Madmess will surely be ones to seek out should they hit the road anywhere near you in the not-too-distant future.The Floyd have dealt with such themes before, from The Dark Side of the Moon to Animals, but never with such bitter passion. This is music to spin heads and blow ear drums in no uncertain terms. вЂњShape ShifterвЂќ builds into a tsunami of brain-frying intensity and вЂњStargazerвЂќ is an oceanic force of nature. вЂњMind CollapseвЂќ is a steamroller of lairy space rock, while the title track is a blitzkrieg of heavy riffage and howling guitar solos. However, it isnвЂ™t long before things are morphing into something considerably more forceful and this full throttle, heavy psychedelia pretty much characterises the rest of Rebirth. Lead track, вЂњAlbatrossвЂќ initially comes on like post-Syd Barrett, pre- The Wall era Pink Floyd with its wistful and bucolic trippiness. This first long player consists of five tracks, hardly any of which clock in at much less than ten minutes, fuelled by powerful riffing, extended guitar solos and a suitably dense rhythm section. Not ones to be put off, Madmess made the most of the forced down-time to compose and record their debut album, the suitably titled Rebirth, an epic space rock opus that is sure to see them do more than merely pick up from where they were forced to pause. But as with many others, Covid soon put the kibosh on that. A couple of years ago, Vasco Vasconcelos, Luis Moura and Ricardo Sampaio looked like they might be ready for significant recognition (at least within the world of paisley pattern shirts and black winklepickers), with the release of their self-titled EP and some reasonably high-profile gigs planned.
