     time to meet

      Praha

Did you know that Rick Wright is Guy Pratt’s father- in- law? Did you know that Eric Clapton and Roger Waters worked together on the soundtrack for John Hurt’s Hit? That is where their later cooperation on Waters’ Pros and Cons Of Hitch Hiking album originated. Did you know that in the Final Cut video EP Roger Waters is seen talking to a psychologist, whose name consists of the surnames of the director and producer of The Wall movie (A. Parker-Marshall)?

note:

The album was very successful, although it is quite extravagant because of two very long experimental tracks it features. The first one takes the entire A side and Pink Floyd wanted it to be something big.
The song Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast was inspired by the morning rituals of a faithful Pink Floyd roadie called Alan Stiles, whose voice can be heard on the album. The song was performed live only once.
The album's name is a reference to a newspaper article about the theoretical possibility of human pacemakers running on nuclear energy.
