Mojo presents Pink Floyd's 1979 Masterpiece Re-recorded: The Wall Re-Built is a tribute and testament to the power of the original album. For the past 30 years The Wall has fascinated both fans and musicians in equal measure, its claustrophobic qualities reflecting the alienation and disenchantment that assailed its principal architect. The biggest selling double album of all-time, the LP itself has also exerted a magnetic influence on fellow musicians, its themes of isolation and egotism possessing a particular fascination. Its appeal among musicians has allowed MOJO to assemble what has been one of our most ambitious projects to date in the shape of this exclusive two disc tribute to Pink Floyd's 1979 masterpiece. As with Disc One, we invite you once again to check out the individual work of all the artists involved with this second instalment of The Wall Re-Built, and to revel in the new perspectives offered by this unique celebration. MOJO has hand-picked a series of contemporary artists and given them free rein to reinterpret this most wide-ranging of works. The results, we hope you will agree, provide a new set of perspectives on the fantastic material.
