Roger Waters uses his first (outside) film scoring gig to pen a 24 minute, one-act play for the UK indie film, When The Wind Blows.This is circa Radio KAOS, though, stylistically, it all seems like a throwback to his conceptual work with Pink Floyd. Not in the same league, of course, but many of the elements are there. “Towers Of Faith” segues from dreamy acoustic picking to harsh, stinging leads,improv vocal gymnastics, all wrapped in some vague concept about war, a favorite Waters’ theme. It’s my fault for not knowing the storyline, as I often let “concepts” lie when listening to certain albums. In Waters’ case, The Final Cut was the last time I even tried with his music. Still,this is a fine chance to study some of Waters’ more obscure sermonizing. “The Attack” is a pretty cool industrial-lite noise collage. http://www.roger-waters.com/
