The mental pollutions Roger Waters have saturated for nearly a decade, the basic themes of the musical production of Pink Floyd , showing all aspects of the self-centered and paranoid his restless personality to the final molasses sociofobica of "The Wall " which in many ways is still regarded as the "real" first solo album by English musician. In fact, the first work in after Waters Pink Floyd is this "The pros and cons of hitch hiking " a concept album that tells existential crisis and married a man guilty of having granted a two-step German hitchhiker.
If at first you yield to the temptation to believe that the hilarious story education is modeled on a story taken from a random number of "Awake!", that doubt is quickly dispelled before wholesale unambiguous artwork, worthy, if anything, to camp on a special de hitchhikers " The Hours. " In fact, the eloquent slavish
expertise with which Gerald Scarfe engages in illustrating tribolanti adulterous fantasies of the protagonist, leaves something to interdict the shocking rudeness pseudo-technical and conceptual connotes.
The common interest is primary in fact motivated by the desire to provide onanistic attraction for the general public, a task pretext and totally misleading with respect to depressive sadness that permeates the narrow set of songs on the album.
Technically, the artwork is an unfortunate camera assembly played on chromatic relationships dissonant and confusing, so as to make it difficult to read the titles. The picture is airbrushed and sloppy and rough shaping of the photo without the model of a large part of the face.
A triumph of the ridiculous, then, on borrowed graphic lessons well before the most successful and unconventional (an example is the original cover of Electric Ladyland [1968] by Jimi Hendrix or Country Life [1974] by Roxy Music), and that determines the image of vertci paroxysm of despotic Waters of the ego of those years.
Thanks to Cris for the valuable message of the cover.
