The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - Hits Of Pink Floyd (1994)

When I considered the idea of symphonic Pink Floyd, I expected the awesome power of the orchestra to be unleashed in a kind of breathtaking glory that cannot be achieved with mere electric guitars and synthesizers, the original tools of Pink Floyd. Instead, what I got in this CD is a pathetic attempt to make the orchestra sound like a four-man band. Adding insult to injury, they chose to include vocals and chorals to stupidly intone snippets of the original Pink Floyd lyrics in between the inane orchestral passages . The effect is of someone humming a tune without quite recalling all the words. Extraordinarily mediocre.
