On The Turning AwayPink Floyd

Pink Floyd achieved enormous success with their 1973 album The Dark Side of the Moon, but over time Roger Waters’s increasing dominance became more evident.

Following events such as the dismissal of members and a legal battle over the rights to use the band’s name, Roger Waters eventually left the band.

In 1987, after his departure, the first album released by the rejuvenated Pink Floyd was A Momentary Lapse of Reason.

On the track On the Turning Away included on that album, you can sense their eagerness to embrace new, contemporary sounds without clinging to the progressive style they themselves had established.
