Dark and darker side of the moon mario10/20/2023 He has also drawn fire for supporting Russia’s rationale for starting the war in Ukraine and for favoring China’s position in Hong Kong, as well as his traditional complaints about America’s leadership. The new “Dark Side” arrives at a time that is opportune in some ways, given the 50th anniversary, and inopportune in others, considering how much more polarizing a figure Waters has become in the last few years, due to his fervent support for Palestinians and raging against Israel. Since 1992’s “Amused to Death,” he has released only one conventional album of new studio material, 2017’s “Is This the Life We Really Want?” In 2018 he also released his version of Igor Stravinsky’s “The Soldier’s Tale.” Both these projects are rare additions to a Waters solo canon that has been as inactive on the recording front as he has been prolific as a tourer. Waters’ previous project, the EP “The Lockdown Sessions,” also consisted of re-recorded material - mostly from “The Wall” and “The Final Cut” and came out on Sony Legacy in December. The announcement said the album will be on an independent label, SGB Music, with distribution by Cooking Vinyl. Until recently, Waters remained with Sony Music, but that relationship seems to have finally come to an end after decades. The album is produced by Gus Seyffert with Waters, and the lineup of musicians will be familiar from his touring band, including Seyffert on bass and other instruments, Joey Waronker on drums, Jonathan Wilson on guitar, Johnny Shepherd on keyboards, Via Mardot on theremin, Azniv Korkejian on vocals, Jon Carin on keyboards and lap steel, and Gabe Noel doing string arrangements. So will the double-LP, but that edition will have an additional track on side 4, “a bonus 13-minute original composition inspired by the re-recording as a final track.” It is labeled, at least for now, simply as “Original Composition.” The CD will follow the original 10-song sequence of the album.
