Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The latest, and last, of the Floyd's exhaustive reissue packages includes, alongside the remastered album and two live CDs from 1980-81, two "Works in Progress" discs charting the project's development virtually from the first twinkling in Roger Waters' eye.
These are arranged as a series of programmes, the first compiling excerpts from demos, no more than a few seconds apiece, thus telescoping the double album into around 13 minutes. But the same terrain is gone over in gradually greater detail in five more sequences of band demos from successive stages of its development.
The impression is of someone picking obsessively at an emotional scab, which is effectively what The Wall is all about. But though apt, it adds little by way of illumination.
