This album was created to stay in perpetual rotation on your hi-fi system, and can be listened to as an independant piece of work. Every title of "Back Against The Wall" (2005) is a cover of each original track, kept in the same order, but performed in a personal and very consistent way. The project manager of this pharaonic work is guitarist and vocalist from Yes and Conspirancy, Billy Sherwood, who gathered a team worthy of the Olympus of Rock N’ Roll. It also features the voice of Malcolm McDowell, who played in the cult-movie "Clockwork Orange". This makes it an indispensable album in the discography of Pink Floyd.
