Wet Dream is the first solo album by Pink Floyd keyboardist Richard Wright, released in 1978.
Composition[]
Wet Dream was self-produced and Wright wrote all the songs himself, except "Against the Odds", which was co-written with his then-wife, Juliette, who, as Juliette Gale, had been a member of one of the early bands that evolved into Pink Floyd. It was recorded at Super Bear Studios, Alpes-Maritimes, in early 1978.[3]
Doing this album has helped me get back my creative energies for the next Floyd thing.
Release and reception[]
The album went virtually unnoticed at the time.[5] The album has long been out of print in Wright's native UK, but it was re-released on CD in the United States and Canada in the 1990s, with some success, and again in 2008 in Australia, following Wright's death.
