- David Gilmore Fan...........
I purchased this to add to my Pink Floyd collection. It still remains in it's original form with the plastic shipping cover. The best Pink Floyd Concert was held in 1988 in Dallas Texas. I was in the front row of the Concert. Why they chose to never release this in a DVD form puzzles me to this day. David Gilmore is unequaled as a lead guitar player.

- Outstanding Musicianship
David Gilmour is an incredible Song Writer & Musician. David has technical prowess on the guitar, in fact, many instruments -- his choice of notes, melodies, harmonies & rythyms keep me thinking of the possibilities, even in my own playing of Bass, Drums, Keyboards & Guitar. David's writing abilities have always been a source of inspiration with his thoughtful insight about Time, Space, Earthly Delights, etc. We will only get one David Gilmour. I highly recommend this album.

- Gilmour's newest solo gem gets a deluxe makeover
Pink Floyd's legendary guitarist and vocalist David Gilmour's most recent solo album entitled On an Island was released in March of 2006.
On an Island is Gilmour's first new studio recordings since the 1994 Pink Floyd studio effort The Division Bell and his first proper solo album since 1984's About Face.
The album was co-produced by Gilmour along with Roxy Music guitarist Phil Manzanera and Chris Thomas (who mixed Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and Division Bell albums and has produced albums for Roxy Music, INXS, Pete Townshend, Paul McCartney, The Pretenders, The Sex Pistols and so on) and this album's musical styles run the gamut from Floydish sounding tunes to jazzy to blues, it has it all.
Castellorizon is an awesome instrumental and what a way to start the album. I subtitled this piece Let's Get Metaphysical Part 2 with DG's Stratocaster duetting superbly with an orchestra over 2 minutes into the instrumental. We then segue into the title cut to On an Island. It is an awesome song and is already a masterpiece which would not have sounded out of place on a Pink Floyd record. The highlight of this track is Gilmour harmonizing with 66% of Crosby Stills and Nash that being David Crosby and Graham Nash. Also, the guitar solos on this track of course are amazing. The Blue follows and is amazing with DG and fellow Floyd member keyboardist Rick Wright harmonizing on vocals very well. Gilmour's whammy pedal solos at the end of the track are amazing and cry shades of Marooned ... Read More
