On An Island - David Gilmour

On An Island was released in march 2006. For some time now I liste to nothing else but On An Island. And I am happy to recommend ypu the whole album.

Although I lile Pink Floyd a lot it can't be said that I am a particular David Gilmour fan... Till now. The album; "On An Island" sounds & feels like Pink Floyd a lot. And yep; great music. It's been a while since I liked an album this much.

Pink Floyd keyboardist, Richard Wright, is on there, as is Guy Pratt (who has played bass with Pink Floyd on two world tours, as well as contributing much in the studio). The amazing Jools Holland lends a hand (or two) on piano. David Crosby and Graham Nash show up on the title track and Robert Wyatt makes a contribution as well. Orchestrations are provided by the renowned Polish composer, Zbigniew Preisner. The album is produced by David Gilmour, Chris Thomas and Phil Manzanera (who have worked with David and Pink Floyd extensively since Dark Side Of The Moon).
