Floydian Slip(tm) : The Pink Floyd Experience > Albums > Nick Mason > Nick Mason's Fictitious Sports (465 words)
Drummer Nick Mason spent some of his time between Pink Floyd's 1979's "The Wall" and 1983's "The Final Cut" involved with a project that resulted in "Nick Mason's Fictitious Sports" album, a mostly oddball collection of experimental pop, rock and jazz, released in 1981.
The project easily could have been called "Carla Bley's Fictitious Sports." It was Bley who wrote all of the album's numbers, played keyboards throughout and co-produced the effort with Mason.
"Fictitious Sports" was produced at Grog Kill Studio in Willow, N.Y., in October 1979.
