Nick Mason+Rick Fenn Lie For A Lie

[hippypants]

I saw this album in a music store the other day, and I'd never heard of it before. It's called Nick Mason+Rick Fenn: Lie For A Lie Featuring David Gilmour on guitar. It has an odd cover of a guy with a large mallet on the front cover. I wondered if anyone has ever heard of this and what's it like?

I think you mean Profiles. “Lie for a Lie” was the single from the album:

Just for the record, Gilmour only sings, and only on that one song. If I remember correctly, Rick Fenn played all the guitars on the album.

Bought it when it was first released on vinyl, and recently found it used on CD so I upgraded.. Profiles has some nice moments on it..

Its mostly library music, composed for a company called Bamboo Music:
"Bamboo Music produced music jingles for corporate clients like HMV, a British chain of record stores. "
Harmless eighties synths instrumentals (apart for 2 songs).
I actually gave it a few plays in my teens, though I definately dont remember anything from it except for the single...

I have the vinyl. I liked it & still like it, but not as much.

I remember the first time I heard it. Riding in a car after a particular rough training session in the Navy. Covered in dirt & sweat & it's 100+F outside with no A/C. This song comes on the radio &, being a die-hard PF fan I'm shocked to hear Gilmour's voice in a non-PF song. Of course the radio DJ never once identified the song.

I always enjoyed this album though it's been a while since I've listened. Bought the Cd on release day I believe.

Haven't spun this one in about 5 years. Agree with flytomars, some good moments on this mostly instrumental mostly harmless album. I don't remember the track but it had an odd time signature and you could almost hear Mason counting the beats. Definitely not in his wheelhouse. I did play it quite a bit when it came out, it today it's pleasant but nothing, more. Due for another spin.

I have a copy on vinyl at home...ditto on the above. I enjoy it when it's on, but forget it almost as quickly when it's off again.
