Music reviews of When the Wind Blows
Music Review: A forgotten time
Rating: 4 Stars
I was lucky enough to acquire both the Vinyl edition and original UK CD release of this recording in the '80s. Timing has a lot to do with one's ability to enjoy this soundtrack because your association to the end of the cold war will influence that judgment. This is NOT a Pink Floyd recording on side 2. It is a Bleeding Heart band recording of the RADIO KAOS era. I was, and still am, a huge fan of this recording. The musicianship and performance characteristics are stellar. The production, using what was at that time state of the art, is great. Roger did have something important to say about the fear of death in a increasingly tense stand off between the USSR and NATO. If you weren't alive or cognizant of those times this recording is hard to enjoy. While opaque drug induced lyrics make bong hits all the better, this is a very political statement which lacks the subtlety of such recordings of the Pink Floyd era.

Description of When the Wind Blows
Released only on vinyl in the U.S. when the film first came out in 1986 (and deleted shortly thereafter), this is the CD edition of the soundtrack to Raymond Briggs' anti-nuclear sci-fi cartoon about the fate of an ill-prepared retired English couple when nuclear Armageddon strikes. 15 tracks, over half by Pink Floyd's Roger Waters, and the balance by David Bowie, Squeeze, Hugh Cornwell, Genesis, and Paul Hardcastle - most of which were recorded especially for the film .
