"but the best are the rick wright tracks (cant remember the titles).
listening to them makes you wonder why he chose cruise control for so much of the floyd's ride."
Wright had a lot of problems that are well documented. During the recording of The Wall, he was in the middle of a marriage breakup and was hitting the cocaine heavily. It was either him or the project, according to a lot of sources. Wright went, but on the tour, was hired back to play keyboards. Interestingly, he was the only PF'er to make money, as he was paid a straight musicians scale.
I agree about the fusion of Waters and Gilmour. I think that Gilmour has suffered more without Waters, than vice versa. But Listening to a live boot of The Wall, the genious of ... numb is the guitar solo.
