Profiles (Nick Mason and Rick Fenn album)
Untitled | |
---|---|
Profiles is an album by Pink Floyd's drummer Nick Mason and 10cc's guitarist Rick Fenn, released in 1985. It is almost entirely instrumental, save for two songs: "Lie for a Lie," featuring Pink Floyd singer and guitarist David Gilmour and Mike Oldfield's early 80s singer Maggie Reilly; and "Israel," sung by UFO keyboardist Danny Peyronel.
There was a time when we were considering it as an entirely instrumental album, but we had 'Lie For A Lie', which we wanted to go on, so we felt it needed another song to balance it out.
I've certainly enjoyed working with Rick... I think it's useful and important to change the people you work with. You get so stuck in certain patterns. You know: Roger will do this and Dave will do that and... well, you can go and make the tea, Nick!
