Rating: It's 1981, the year of the immortal and profound concept The Wall, and Waters' band is about to perform at the prestigious Earl’s Court.
Five dates see the Pink Floyd engaged at the already mentioned venue.
Meanwhile, the soulman Marvin Gaye is busy with the The Heavy Love Affair Tour which brings him to London.
The two great names have the chance to meet and evaluate the stylistic gap between their different sounds by playing Let’s Get It On and Shine On You Crazy Diamond together on stage, but as if they were a single track.
Exactly, everything is blended creating a dreamy and confusing mix, almost Dub I would dare to say.
The Motown, however, did not allow, due to contractual obligations, the release of Requiem For A Dream (which in fact will see the light in 2010 as a bootleg on the web) causing a rupture with Gaye, exhausted by the continuous headaches.
The album is indeed a very intriguing mash-up record that simply showcases fusions of pieces from the band and the singer, with style and superiority of studio control by a Waters immersed headlong in the project.
I'm sure we can talk about Crossover, certainly, given the circumstances.
Take Marvin and put him on a spaceship while it travels at breakneck speed in deep space. Actually, take his funk soul, and mix it with some LSD.
It seems like Trip hop typical of the craziest '90s, and it will literally make you dream if listened to at the right moment, guaranteed.
