Broken China is the second and final solo album by Pink Floyd keyboardist Richard Wright, released on 7 October 1996.[1]
Overview
The album is a four-part concept album based on Wright's then-wife Mildred's battle with depression.[2] Two songs, "Reaching for the Rail" and "Breakthrough" feature Sinéad O'Connor on lead vocals, with Wright singing elsewhere. The album was recorded in Wright's studio in France. Broken China was only Wright's second solo record after 1978's Wet Dream and the last before his death in September 2008.
Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour played on "Breakthrough", but the approach for the song was changed later on, and Gilmour's performance was not used on the finished release. On the DVD David Gilmour in Concert, a guest appearance is made by Wright, who sings "Breakthrough" accompanied by Gilmour and his band.
The packaging has artwork by Pink Floyd's regular designer, Storm Thorgerson, and Peter Curzon.[3]
