Broken China is a prog rock solo album by Pink Floyd keyboard player Richard Wright. It documents his wife’s battle with depression, 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 the Wrights’ personal studio in France.

The packaging has artwork by Pink Floyd’s regular designer, Storm Thorgerson, in his familiar style.

Miscellaneous Information

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