About this album

Profiles is a polished 1985 collaboration between Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason and guitarist Rick Fenn, pairing prog-rock instincts with a more streamlined, melodic feel. The album balances instrumental passages with compact songs, showing Mason’s rhythmic detail alongside Fenn’s guitar textures and songwriting. Recorded and issued at a time when both musicians were exploring work outside their main projects, it stands as a distinctive side-step from arena-scale rock into something more intimate and exploratory. Its blend of atmosphere, structure and precision gives Profiles a strong cult appeal among listeners interested in the wider world around Pink Floyd and 1980s progressive rock.
