NEWS 15.05.2004: As you may have noticed, I don't really have time to update this page anymore. I've been warned that some links were dead - in fact one of the servers has been closed. So I removed some tracks and re-organised the page. It has less tracks but the remaining links to mp3 files should now work properly again. I didn't check external links; many of them are probably dead.
ADDED: Roger Waters' 2001 Paris press conference from soundboard.


PLEASE READ THIS

This site contains some very rare Roger Waters songs. As many of these songs have been released for sale (even if it seems some can't be bought anymore), I have intentionnally put MP3s that have very low quality (as a result, it's very fast to download!). This site is just here to help you to discover those rare tracks; if you like them then (try to) buy them! Please do not mail to ask me to put here or send or trade you high quality MP3s. Anyway, I don't have enough disk space !
If the companies or artists want me to remove some tracks or the whole site,
mail me, I will.

Roger's 2000 interview

For those of you who can't read ASF or RealAudio, here's the Interview from the official site in mp3 format (26.04 min, 1527k). The sound quality is low, if it doesn't suit you then try the official website for original RA or ASF files.

Roger Waters on Marianne Faithfull CD

This is old news for the Europeans, but it seems the new Marianne Faithfull album, Vagabond Ways, has just been released in the US. Roger Waters has composed a song on this CD, Incarceration Of A Flower Child (even if he's credited as Roger Walters !). He's also performing on the song (playing bass synth).
