 Wright, Rick - Broken china - Groove Unlimited
Like we may expect from a PF member, this album by Rick Wright is a well packaged product, with good artwork: a woman diving as it were into a depression and as a result being shattered, broken in pieces, while the back of the booklet shows the rising from that depression.
The singing is done by Wright on half the tracks almost and Sinead sings on two tracks, among which the best track of the album, Breakthrough.
Because of the concept approach the songs on this album lack a bit of identity and sometimes they are not much more than a few melodies without any real structure.

 Birds on their Backs in Cambridge Cans; birding article by Rick Wright--Tucson Audubon Society
Sometimes all it takes to become a better birder is to spend a few hours inside—as seven Tucson Audubon Society members discovered when they joined Rick Wright for a tour of the bird collections at the University of Arizona.
But when such specimens are prepared to emphasize one or two salient features—the two-in-front, two-in-back toes of the Greater Roadrunner, or the precise underwing pattern of a juvenile Zone-tailed Hawk—these specimens can serve as excellent illustrations of basic principles important to the field birder as well.
Rick Wright and Tucson Audubon Society offer sincerest thanks to Tom Huels for his kind invitation to visit the collections, and for an outstanding introduction to the importance of natural history collections in general.
