What's The Story?
This tune is one of a collection of Pink Floyd covers by this orchestra, released in 1991. David Palmer is well known as a later member of Jethro Tull.
Who's To Blame?
A late-night record shop downtown. Which may or may not have been visited at 9:30 on a Tuesday night in the rain.
Why ♥ It?
On the surface, this is neat enough as an orchestra performing Pink Floyd.
However, the spin Palmer arranges here is what's most attractive about the song. I'm not going to even pretend I have any idea what goes on or went on in Roger Waters' head, but Run Like Hell by Pink Floyd is a foreboding, intimidating song that sounds about fit for an air raid. Organized by this orchestra, it's a happy, sunny-day-in-a-field-with-butterflies-everywhere effort. Something that many of the string quartet cover albums of late seem to miss is to arrange with a hint of flair, and that's something that Palmer did to a T. See for yourself!
