 +-oHH review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
But the sense of Floydian deja vu on The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking, Waters' first solo album, is so overwhelming it nearly obscures the soul he finally tried to bare at its end.
Strategic sound effects and peripheral dialogue wrapped in fat distant echo enhance the trance-like motion of the Hitch Hiking story, a nightmare tour of emotional crises and sexual upheavals.
The stark contrast and rollercoaster switch between simmering introspective tension -- Waters' lullabye whisper and sensitive picking in two parts of "For The First Time Today" -- and his sudden explosions of rage, intensifies Hitch Hiking's lunatic impact.

The Pros And Cons Of Hitch-hiking, Radio K.A.O.S, Amused To Death,
