Guitar David Gilmour / Drums Bill Bruford

The album was called "HQ" everywhere in the world, except the USA, where it was renamed "When An Old Cricketer Leaves The Crease." I have no idea why.

Excellent musician, saw him live many years ago. Incredible how he generated a wall of sound pretty much by himself.  If you like what you hear give his LP 'Stormcock' a listen. 'Another Day' is also a beautiful song. A shame the RP link does not give helpful background info for this artist but easy to research. Led Zep/Jimmy Page rank amongst his fans! Hats off to...

Though David Gilmour is credited for guitar work and Bill Bruford drums, I hear a lot of Who influence. 

New to me but I'm guessing that this was released between 72 & 74. 

I know, Google could (will) tell me but I don't want to spoil this journey.


I totally agree, I'm thinking mainly due to the vocals. New to me also, and it's hard to believe I have never heard this song before. It blew me away... just wow! I see it was released in '75, I was a freshman in h.s. by the end of the song I pumped it up to 9. Rock On!
