In a recent interview (2023) Roger Waters was asked; from out of all the previous Pink Floyd Albums which one would he consider re-recording / changing? After pondering this question for a short moment he said: “The Final Cut.“ This new version edited by 'niKos Fusion' sympathetically recreates the emotional values of the original songs but removes some of the overly intense drumming and harsher vocal parts that Roger Waters agreed were somewhat too prevalent on a few of the songs. This independently edited version also includes the addition of 'When the Tigers Broke Free' and the new revised (abridged and edited versions) of 'Vera and Two Suns in the Sunset' recently recorded by Roger Waters. The Final Cut (subtitled A Requiem for the Post War Dream) is the twelfth studio album by Pink Floyd, released on 21 March 1983 through Harvest and Columbia Records. It comprises unused material from the band's previous studio album, The Wall (1979), alongside new material recorded throughout 1982. The Final Cut is the last Pink Floyd album to feature founding member Roger Waters, who departed from the band in 1985. It is also the only Pink Floyd album not to feature founding member and keyboardist Richard Wright, who had left the band under pressure from Waters after the Wall sessions. The recording was plagued by conflict; the guitarist, David Gilmour, felt many of the tracks were not worthy of inclusion, but Waters accused him of failing to contribute material himself. The contributions from the drummer, Nick Mason, were limited mostly to sound effects. Waters planned the album as a soundtrack for the 1982 film adaptation of The Wall. With the onset of the Falklands War, he rewrote it as a concept album exploring what he considered the betrayal of his father, who died serving in the Second World War. Waters provided lead vocals for all but one track, and he is credited for all songwriting. The Final Cut was conceived as a soundtrack album for Pink Floyd – The Wall, the 1982 film based on Pink Floyd's previous studio album The Wall (1979). Under its working title Spare Bricks, it would have featured new music rerecorded for the film, such as “When the Tigers Broke Free“. Bassist, vocalist, and primary songwriter Roger Waters also planned to record a small amount of new material, expanding The Wall's narrative. As a result of the Falklands War, Waters changed direction and wrote new material. He saw British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's response to Argentina's invasion of the islands as jingoistic and unnecessary, and dedicated the new album—provisionally titled Requiem for a Post-War Dream—to his father, Eric Fletcher Waters. The Final Cut received mixed reviews, though retrospective reception has been more favourable. niKos Fusion
