A Momentary Lapse of Reason is Pink Floyd's 1987 album, the band's first release after the official departure of Roger Waters from the band in 1985. The album reached #3 on both the U.S. and UK charts. It was released in the UK and the rest of Europe on EMI and on Columbia Records for the rest of the world. Many fans regard this album a David Gilmour effort, rather than an actual Pink Floyd album.
