This starts with a long monologue as super computer HAL goes crazy.
I’m undecided what I think about these albums because I love Pink Floyd and improvisational blues rock but do the two go together? Will I ever be in the mood to play the combination rather than a purist selection of one or the other?
What’s not in doubt is that this is a powerful performance and the Floyd songs are treated with respect.
