Broken China

Broken China

Richard Wright

Broken China is the second (and last) solo album released by Pink Floyd keyboardist, Richard Wright. The album is a four-part concept album based on Wright's then-wife Mildred's battle with depression and is very much like a classic Pink Floyd concept album in its structure and overall feel. Two songs, "Reaching for the Rail" and "Breakthrough" feature Sinéad O'Connor on lead vocals with Wright singing elsewhere. The album was recorded in Wright's personal studio in France. Broken China was only Wright's second solo record after 1978's Wet Dream and the last to be released before his death in September 2008. Read more on Last.fm.
