Thanks Sepp....I was and still am a great fan of Pink Floyd...mark 1! To me the real magic went when Syd Barrett went bye bye.... I did like the third Pink Floyd record, Ummagumma, the double record in which each member got to compose an entire side. Rick Wrights piece was the highlight of that record. I also will always remember that he sang on Astronomy Domine...
Too bad his later history with band was that of a victim of the bassist and the guitarists legal wars.
I enjoyed his solo records very much...they were not commercial in any sense. In other words, they still remained what the latter Pink Floyd forgot.
Microdot, Rick Wright of Pink Floyd died last night.
