Флойдовская "Стена", перезаписанная целой плеядой легендарных музыкантов.

На этот раз неутомимый Билли Шервуд решил перезаписать от начала и до конца флойдовскую "Стену".
Собрал, как водится, толпу отличных именитых музыкантов, и переиграли они полностью весь альбом, не сильно отклоняясь от оригинальных концепций и аранжировок.
Больше всего радует появление на трибьюте Яна Андерсона из "Джетро Талл" - на моей памяти, это его первое появление на такого рода альбомах. Разумеется, не вставить чуть-чуть своей фирменной флейты во "флойдовскую" структуру он не мог (в результате Is There Anybody Out There? прозвучала несколько непривычно).
Отсальные музыканты уже появлялись на подобного рода альбомах, но всё равно приятно в очередной раз послушать вокал Гленна Хьюза и Томми Шоу, гитары Робби Кригера и Стива Хоу, клавишные Кейта Эмерсона и Рика Уэйкмана (кстати, Уэйкман интерпретирует Nobody Home по своему, и, пожалуй, это моя любимая вещь на альбоме).
