Richard White has departed; Roger Waters and David Gilmour have solo albums; the band members are not talking; nor are there any plans for the next album, but Pink Floyd is not throwing in the towel. While there is obviously no PF material to reveiw, there are Waters' and Gilmour's albums, the Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking; and About Face respectively. The two questions these albums bring to mind are 1) Does either one of these albums carry the essence of Pink Floyd? and 2) What on earth are the pros and cons of hit- chhiking? a In answer to the first question, both Water and Gilmour have in their music the sound of PF. (Both are as great as PF to listen to, so that it is now understood that the music is of excellent quality.) . Gilmour's' album is reminiscent of the rich and tonal Dark Side of the Moon. Yet, while Gilmour is a sensitive poet, he has made About Face full of disillusion and loss. For example, Murder is written about Sid Barrett, founder of PF who went insane. Gilmour is obviously disturbed about Bar- rett's it `D -you miss the voices" in your head and the hirtgs that they said?" Waters' album choes The Wall. At times his music is so like The Wall that :you wonder if he's just rewritten the lyrics and played the tune a little differently. As well., again like The Wall, Pros and Cons is thematic. The entire album is a rather bizarre dream about hitchhiking (life, the universe and everything! ) It would appear that Waters may soon be like Barrett. This leads to the- second question. What are the pros and cons of hitchhiking? In the song of the same name, the answer is found. They are'l) you can break the bones in your hand with a handshake from a biker, .2)'you can pick .up housewives whose husbands play golf, and 3) Yoko Ono ' is " urging solos rated everyone to end the prolonged agony of life. Okay, then, let's not recommend this album to anyone who is less than a universi- ty english major - I hear they're pretty in- sane too. Then again, maybe it's all tongue in the cheek.

Despite the delay, those who had con- templated giving the Atlas as a Christmas gift will be disappointed, Reeve Grant Stirl- ing,, who heads the special county council' committee in charge of the Atlas, emphasiz- ed as he announced the publication delay. "Attractive certificates which may be us- ed for gift purposes are available from the Atlas Office at a cost of $45 each," he said and added that each certificate would enti- tle the holder to a copy of the AtAas as soon as it is published. The certificates are available not only to those wishing to use them as a gift or as a pre -publication purchase to ensure an Atlas being available, but also to those who already, as a patron, had purchased an Atlas. - An order form is included in the paper or is available at municipal offices and public libraries in the county. A certificate also may be obtained by a patron without charge, and by others on remittance of $45 per certificate by writing Huron County Historical Atlas Office, Court House, Goderich, Ontario.
