It's nothing short of remarkable that Roger Waters has built a successful career on obsessive ruminations on alienation, megalomania, and guilty fame, largely on the backs of one of history's most long-lived arena acts. The musical legacy Waters has shared with "another band" (as he sharply refers to his former Pink Floyd mates in this collection's self-penned liner notes) has served two distinctly different functions: part and parcel of the latter's nostalgia act; autobiographical foundation for the former's ongoing, if decidedly egocentric, Rage at the World. That's essentially the rationale this live collection uses to lean heavily on Waters's Pink prime, from Dark Side of the Moon through The Final Cut. And if that frame sometimes overshadows the images of Waters's solo work–well, no one said he wasn't a pragmatic entertainer.

Palladians (formerly the Palladian Ensemble) is a quartet of the highest calibre, firmly established on the international music scene since 1991. They present baroque chamber music infused with style, uninhibited virtuosity and intelligent musicianship. The Palladian Ensemble's award-winning series of recordings for Linn Records have received unanimous praise. “An Excess of Pleasure”, “A Choice Collection” and “Held by the Ears” won the prestigious Diapason d'Or, with others winning Gramophone Magazine 'Editor's Choice' plaudits. For this album the Palladian Ensemble performed a powerful performance of French baroque - they are play the music of Marin Marais (1656-1728) and Jean-Féry Rebel (1666-1747). A suite from "Les Elemens", an opera by Rebel, forms the centrepiece of the disc.

The Penguin Cafe Orchestra (PCO) was an avant-pop band led by English guitarist Simon Jeffes. Co-founded with cellist Helen Liebmann, the band toured extensively during the 1980s and 1990s. The orchestra's sound is not easily categorized, but has elements of exuberant folk music and a minimalist aesthetic occasionally reminiscent of composers such as Philip Glass. The group recorded and performed for 24 years until Jeffes died of an inoperable brain tumour in 1997.
