David Gilmour - ON AN ISLAND

Post by Damn!t »

Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour has more than one reason to celebrate on his 60th birthday next year - March 6th 2006 sees the long-awaited release of his new solo album "On An Island".

Released on EMI Records, the album is the first solo release from David since 1984's "About Face". Following the release of "On An Island", David will embark on a European and American tour during the months of March, April and May 2006 - and we should have details of these dates soon.

"On An Island" is produced by David, along with Chris Thomas and Phil Manzanera. Orchestrations are by the renowned composer Zbigniew Preisner and were recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London.

The title track teams Gilmour with David Crosby and Graham Nash - three of the greatest voices in contemporary music. Richard Wright, Robert Wyatt, Jools Holland, and Guy Pratt also feature on the album.

Sounds real good.

Gotta say I love David Crosbys voice. From Bob Geldofs comments about him "needing some speed" it looks like we are in for a mellow ballad-fest, which suits me just fine. I think Daves at his best in slow, stoner mode...I never did much care for that "blue light" style from "about face" and always liked his slower numbers.

For me Dave Gilmours solo efforts have been a HUGE disappointment (esp. About Face) so hopefully this time he'll show what he's really capable of.

THE BIGGEST WASTE OF DAVE'S TALENT WAS WHEN HE WAS SURPORTING McCARTNEY DURING RUN DEVIL RUN TV SLOTS AND MICK GREEN TOOK ALL THE SOLO'S

I LIKED DAVE'S FIRST SOLO LP BUT WOULD HAVE SORTED THE TRACK ORDER A BIT

HIS SECOND TOOK ME LONGER TO GET INTO

LOOKING FORWARD TO HIS THIRD
