Broken China is a progressive rock solo album by Pink Floyd keyboard player Richard Wright.[3] It was his second and final solo album.

Overview

The album is a four-part concept album based on Wright's then-wife Mildred's battle with depression,[4] and is very much like a classic Pink Floyd concept album in its structure and overall feel. Two songs, "Reaching for the Rail" and "Breakthrough" feature Sinéad O'Connor on lead vocals, with Wright singing elsewhere. The album was recorded in Wright's personal studio in France. Broken China was only Wright's second solo record after 1978's Wet Dream and the last to be released before his death in September 2008.

Wright asked fellow Pink Floyd bandmate David Gilmour to perform on the album, and Gilmour agreed to play on "Breakthrough." However, the approach for the song was changed later on, and Gilmour's performance was not used on the finished release.

On the DVD David Gilmour in Concert, a guest appearance is made by Wright, who sings "Breakthrough" accompanied by David Gilmour and his band.

The packaging has artwork by Pink Floyd's regular designer, Storm Thorgerson, and Peter Curzon.[5]

"Runaway" (remixes by The Orb)

Extended "Runaway" remixes, almost the double in length, exist and can be found on two "The Orb Remix Project" compilations:{{citation needed|date=February 2011}}

  1. "Runaway" (Anthony Moore) (R. Wrights Leggit Mix) — 13:42 on "Auntie Aubrey's Excursions Beyond The Call Of Duty Part 2" — Ultra Records 2001 (USA).
  2. "Runaway" (Anthony Moore) (Leggit Dub) — 13:38 on "Auntie Aubrey's Excursions Beyond The Call Of Duty Part 2" — Deviant Records 2002 (UK).

Both remixes are the same, due to copyrights reasons these compilations have different tracks on the UK and USA versions.{{citation needed|date=February 2011}} "Runaway" appears on both.
