Hi there, I'm new to this forum. For all you David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) fans, he has a new album coming out called "On An Island". There's a contest where you can win a trip to see David live in LA, plus an autographed guitar. Here's the link:

I'd be curious to hear his new album as I like a lot of Floyd, but I'm afraid that he's going to sound like a boring, used-up, rich musician.

But you never know.

Great as in 'different' great or great as in 'like Pink Floyd' great?

any of his other solo work has been just that...boring, overdone, dried up shit... but this one is better...not pink floyd better...but better... its very much a culmination of all of his past work, both solo and pink floyd. theres a lot of the "drone-keyboard with guitar solo over it" kinda stuff, a lot of good ambience... and there's also no shortage of blues influence on it.. if you're really zoning out you might think you're listening to a robert johnson record at times...but overall its a decent record...if you do any type of mind-altering substance then its worth getting and zoning out to

i'm really curious about this.
Gilmour is a really good musician, but I prefer Roger Waters as a composer. i think they two should be together doing something like in old times

 

[Babykabob]

I think I gotta agree with you on that one...I love Davids voice, but Roger Waters had great composition skills... But you can't say anything bad about "The Division Bell"...

Definitely... The Division Bell is great.

I heard his 'World Exclusive" interview a few days back.....as well as a few tracks from this album. At age 60, this guy just gets better and better with age. It's insane how good he really is. There is no one that sounds like Gilmour. At the same time, everything he touches sounds like Pink Floyd. It's a double-edged sword.....and a curse!

 

[Babykabob]

I wonder if the album title is meant to be interpreted the way I see it... up until the whole pink floyd playing the live 8 thing, if you had asked me "where's David Gilmour?"...the title of this album comes to mind...

How is it compared to the two older releases he did waaaaaaaaaay back?
