I love the music. Very reminicent of ealy Floyd stuff, don't you think? What is the deal with the weird neon looking guy floating around during the whole video? That was pretty weird. But it was a great song.

Nice track, but I keep waiting for something to happen. It just seems to go nowhere. I reckon the middle bit (where the organ becomes more dominant) would benefit from having some vocals. And the guitar solo just after that (I think) sounds more like fills to go with a vocal part, than an actual solo.

But yes, good work, Mr G!

I like it! I thoguht maybe the old guy had tried to ressurtect 80s guitar-synth technology, thankfully he didn't, and even thoguh its a Les Paul, it sounds JUST LIKE GILMOUR! hahaha, better than ever IMHO, the technology is there, he utilises it! That is why he is the greatest guitarist... and this is the first time I have praised post Waters Gilmour work...!

I thought the keyboard player looked familiar! It's Paul 'wix' Wickens, He played with McCartney for a long time! A very good musician.

I just listened to the track, all I can say is WOW. The guitar was absolutely beautiful. I really can't wait for March 6th now

. By the way, the song "Smile" on Dave's solo DVD, is that from this album?

Oddly remeniscient of Gary Moore's "still got the blues" offering.

Something is missing...not sure what...but somethings not quite there in this track.

Nice to see him milking a Gibson for a change...but whats wrong with this track? Is it the lack of Build-up...No crescendo...I just dunno...need to listen some more.

Its called island JAM. Not SOME track. Jam. Just a jam.
Maybee a base for something that'll be a track on the album.

I like it. Well done Dave.

I'm aware of the title.

Its still seriously lacking, even if it is just Dave jerking off.

He sounds like an aged, waffling Gary Moore clone on his Les Paul and this "jam" has very little to recommend it.

He should release his tonail clippings to fans next time. At least they'd have a resale value on ebay.

i have to admit i?m a bit disappointed. it?s just another Floyd-style blues without anything really special. I really hope he had some more inspiration for his new album....
