Profiles is Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason’s second studio album and 10cc guitarist Rick Fenn‘s debut studio album.

It was released in 1985.

The album (along with Nick Mason’s Fictitious Sports and the soundtrack to the film White of the Eye) was remastered and reissued on August 31st, 2018 as part of the box set Unattended Luggage.

It is almost entirely instrumental, save for two songs; “Lie for a Lie“, featuring Pink Floyd singer and guitarist David Gilmour with singer Maggie Reilly, and “Israel“, sung by UFO keyboardist Danny Peyronel.

“ There was a time when we were considering it as an entirely instrumental album, but we had ‘Lie for a Lie’, which we wanted to go on, so we felt it needed another song to balance it out.“ – Rick Fenn

“ I’ve certainly enjoyed working with Rick… I think it’s useful and important to change the people you work with. You get so stuck in certain patterns. You know: Roger will do this and Dave will do that and… well, you can go and make the tea, Nick! “ – Nick Mason
