Notable Quotes

❝ Let's start by saying that the title of this album is purely a commercial operation.

❝ Nick Mason is considered by many to be the fourth most important Pink Floyd member: very few episodes see him involved as a vocalist, only an occasional composer, certainly not a virtuoso of his instrument, often in the background in promotional photos and, objectively, the least fascinating of the four.
