Our Take
Our Take
Richard Wright, best known as the quiet, mysterious keyboardist of a certain legendary British band (hint: it rhymes with Pincoln Park), steps out of the shadows and into the spotlight with his solo debut album "Wet Dream". And wet dreams it is indeed, as Wright takes us on a dreamy, atmospheric journey through his musical mind.
The album opens with the ethereal title track, setting the tone for what's to come - a mix of ambient synth sounds, spacey guitar riffs, and Wright's signature haunting vocals. It's like floating through a psychedelic dream, with the occasional burst of funky grooves to keep you grounded.
Tracks like "Cat Cruise" and "Summer Elegy" showcase Wright's prowess as a composer, with intricate arrangements that weave together seamlessly. The standout moment comes with "Meddle", a 10-minute epic that builds and builds until it reaches a climax that'll leave you breathless.
However, not everything on "Wet Dream" is a home run. Some tracks, like "Drop In from the Top" and "Funky de L'Ascenseur", veer into cheesy territory, sounding more like elevator music than the groundbreaking soundscapes Wright is capable of.
Overall, "Wet Dream" is a fascinating glimpse into the mind of a musical genius. While it may not always hit the mark, the moments of brilliance make it a worthwhile listen for fans of progressive rock and ambient music alike. Richard Wright may not have been the flashiest member of his band, but "Wet Dream" proves that he's a force to be reckoned with in his own right.

About the artist
Richard Wright
Richard Wright is the unsung hero of Pink Floyd, the man behind the keys who brought an ethereal atmosphere to the band's iconic sound. While not as flashy or conspicuous as some of his bandmates, Wright's contributions were essential in shaping the psychedelic and progressive rock landscapes of the 60s and 70s. Wright's velvety smooth keyboard touches added layers of depth and emotion to Pink Floyd's music, creating a sonic tapestry that transported listeners to new dimensions. His subtle yet powerful playing was the perfect complement to Roger Waters' thought-provoking lyrics and David Gilmour's searing guitar solos. While not as prolific in his songwriting contributions as his bandmates, Wright's influence on Pink Floyd cannot be understated. Tracks like "Echoes," "Us and Them," and "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" showcase his talent for crafting intricate, otherworldly soundscapes that have stood the test of time. Outside of Pink Floyd, Wright released two solo albums, "Wet Dream" and "Broken China," which further showcased his unique musical vision. His solo work delved into more experimental territory, blending ambient textures with electronic elements to create a sound that was distinctly his own. Sadly, Wright's time with Pink Floyd was cut short with his untimely passing in 2008. However, his legacy lives on through his timeless contributions to some of the greatest albums in rock history. Richard Wright may not have always been in the spotlight, but his influence on music is undeniable.
