it's an ok sax solo but it's nowhere near what Parry did on Money or SOYCD, come on. the song is much more strong than the solo.

One of my all time favorite Gilmour songs. Just badass!

Maybe, but the best use of a saxophone in a Pink Floyd song is "Two Suns in the Sunset" from "The Final Cut," especially when you factor in how conversational it is with the piano. I don't know how impressive the actual playing is, but coming when it does, as a sort of afterthought to the rest of the album, rarely fails to give me chills.

man, i love that song - in fact, both TSitS and The Gunner's Dream have fantastic sax solos. that's one thing about this album; its power and beauty lie in the extreme contrasts, the peaks and valleys of the sonic spectrum (add to that the Holophonics technology). when a solo, a scream, a rim-shot or a sound effect needs to jump at your face, it really does.

I forgot about "Gunner's Dream"--I used to listen to that on headphones and try to pick out the exact moment where the voice ended and the sax began. A very powerful moment.

Overall "Final Cut" is probably my favorite Floyd album. I like how it's basically a Roger Waters singer-songwriter album but has, as you say, a lot of those really extreme Pink Floyd audiophile moments worked into the sparse, supportive arrangements.

How the hell has Soundgarden's Room a Thousand Years Wide not been mentioned yet?
