TAS Super LP List! Special Merit: Informal
TAS Rated 4/5 Music, 4.5/5 Sonics in the January 2019 Issue of The Absolute Sound!
Solo Collection 3LP Box Set!
Remastered On 180g Heavyweight Vinyl!
Unattended Luggage is a 3LP box set containing Nick Mason's three solo albums - all originally released in the 1980s.
The Pink Floyd co-founder released his debut solo album in 1981 as a collaboration with Robert Wyatt and Carla Bley. His second album, Profiles, was mostly instrumental and featured 10cc guitarist Rick Fenn. For that album, Maggie Reilly and David Gilmour provided vocals on the song "Lie for A Lie" and Danny Peyronel provided vocals for "Israel".
The third solo album from Nick Mason, White of The Eye, was actually a soundtrack for the British film of the same name. He collaborated once again with Rick Fenn for the soundtrack album.
A co-founding member of Pink Floyd, Nick Mason is the only constant member of the group, performing on all of their albums as well as all of their live shows. Unattended Luggage is a further celebration of Nick Mason and his undeniably significant contribution to music.
Nick Mason says, "These recordings hold a very special place for me in my musical life. 'Fictitious Sports' developed initially from working with Mike Mantler, Carla Bley and Robert Wyatt on a couple of their projects, and benefited enormously from a whole crew of great musicians that I was introduced to by them at Grog Kill Studios in Woodstock..."'Profiles' and 'White of the Eye' were an extension of working with Rick Fenn on some advertising and short documentary film soundtracks, which then developed into something more."
"Like his higher-profile Pink Floyd band-mates, drummer Nick Mason eventually found occasion to produce less-Floydian solo material, a trio of which are now finally collected under one sonic umbrella... A fine potpourri of mostly fulfilled exploratory promise, this assemblage of Unattended Luggage should be claimed forthwith." - Mike Mettler, The Absolute Sound, January 2019
