The Fat Lady

The man they call, quite literally, Roger Waters is planning to release a new album in September. Unfortunately it's not a new Rock magnum opus but instead the opera, "Ca Ira" he's been working on for something like 16 years (like I keep telling the boss you can't hurry genius).

The blurb's all there in a typically rudimentary press release on his, Sony controlled, website. Will I buy it? Of course, it is Roger Waters after all. If he could write and record classics like The Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall and his solo masterpiece, Amused to Death in months then just think what he could achieve with 16 years to play with.

Hopefully with this elitist nonsense out of the way he'll concentrate on his new Rock album for release next year with a little world tour to round it all off nicely before launching the stage version of The Wall on Broadway.
