Side 2, pt. 4: Anisina

Every now and then I take down my copy of Pink Floyd’s The Endless River and play it, go “this is nice”, then put it away again. It’d be my favourite of the three Roger-less albums because it is very true to the concept of what PF are without Rog: lyric-less. There are bits that remind you of other bits of Floyd and I described this record this week as a parallel Pink Floyd Greatest Hits if they’d somehow made a career out of their early 70s Soundtracks. For the most part it’s Rick & Nick & Dave, doing their thing, there’s not an overwhelming cavalcade of extra musicians like on A Momentary Lapse of Reason. This track does not feature Rick, in spite of the Us & Them style piano, so I can only assume that it’s a latter day creation and not from the original 1993 sessions.
