I bet Nick Mason did more than he is credited for, Roger and Dave seem to refer to him as someone who came in and played what they topd him to, but I think he did more than that. I mean, it seems unlikely that he wouldn't offer his own suggestions on how something should come together.

Pato: I haven't listened to his solo work, but someone told me Danny Peyronel (Michel's brother, from Riff) worked on it!! I think it's called Profiles. (I thought it would be interesting for you, I'm argentinian too!)

Nick also sang "The Merry Xmas Song". If you have A Tree Full of Secrets, you know what I'm talking about. :)

I believe all the members contributed to the writing of the song Echoes and they all contributed to Atom heart Mother Suite.

It is true that Nick did not sing on many Pink Floyd records, probably due to his lack of any real vocal training or natural talent. The same can not be said of his composing
Nick sang/vocalized on; Corporal Clegg, Candy and a Currant Bun, Scream Thy Last Scream, One of these days, Goodbye Blue Sky (the whole group sang this one) and did harmonies on one song on TPATGOD (dont quote me on this, but I think Matila Mother). He also read the Prayer part in Sheep, and the Pilot speech in 'Learning to Fly'.
Composition-wise. Nick was involved in 28 compositions (out of a total 155 PF compositions, excluding 'The Committee', 'Carerra Panamericana', or any other unreleased sources of PF work), which is 18% of PF's total output (to date).
His solo compositions include: The Grand Viziers Garden Party pt.1 - 3, and Speak to Me.
The Album where Nick contributed most is 'The Music from More' where his compositions made it on 54% of the album. Also, Nick was involved in half of the composition of 'Meddle'.
Strangley enough, Nick has no composition or vocals credits on his solo album 'Ficticious Sports'. (He did compose all but one song on his 'Profiles' album with Rick Fenn, where David Gilmour sings in one of the songs, although Nick does not sing on the entire album).

Nick has never sung nor contributed lyrics to any Pink Floyd tracks.

Waters wrote Speak To Me and credited it to Mason as a birthday present.
