1986: Tutttuuu...tutttuuuu...tutttu.....
"Hello?"....."HI, THIS IS DAVE, HOW ARE YOU NICK?",.... "Good... but to what do I owe this call?...." "Have you read the papers?"...."No, why? I went to a vintage sports car auction"....."WE WOOOON, we can use the name. So, shall we do it?"... "Yes... um... yes, do you have any pieces?"....."Uuuuh, a ton, come to my house and I'll let you hear it!!"..."Good stuff?"....."For sure... the world will see!"......"Have you heard from Rick, poor guy, I haven't heard from him in ages! At least since The Wall!!"....."I'll call him, we'll have him play something, and then there's the tour to organize"....."Ok then... you know I'm a little rusty with the drums"....."Doesn't matter, I'll find someone for the tricky percussion parts!!..."Let's do it next week... we'll put down some demos, I'll talk with EMI, touch base with Storm for the cover, contact the session musicians"....
1987...September...tutttuuu..tuutttuuu
"Hi Nick...what did I tell you? We're selling like crazy!! Roger....prrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"...."Better, hang on, I'm calling for the Aston Martin check-up. Bye"......"Don't forget that the multi-year world tour is starting"....."No... I've noted it down... bye".
A Momentary Lapse of Reason is all here. Two forty-somethings who wanted to have fun. Done with energy and lightness. Anti-Final Cut to the core deliberately. And more sold. 4 stars for the impact, the comeback, the tour, the name, for those who want to call the music good, the cover, for that wonderful September 1st, 1987, the release day of the CD and my 20th birthday. The camping holidays and the trip to Yugoslavia (ex) listening to Momentary at full blast in my dad's Kadett. Farewell fabulous '80s.
Learning to fly...... deejay television... new video. Good times.
