Prodcut Description: [More Information ...] Japanese Digipak pressing. On An Island is the third David Gilmour solo album and his first studio recording since Pink Floyd's 1994 multi-platinum 'The Division Bell'. From the first moments of the sound collage that begins 'On An Island', you know it's a special experience that not only bears comparison with the best of Pink Floyd, but also confirms their lead guitarist and singer as an outstanding solo artist. Here he reveals a personal vision and a breadth of styles - folk, jazz, orchestral and rock - brought together as a unified piece by his lyrical guitar playing and instantly recognisable voice. On An Island is a collection of songs and instrumentals that had its genus in the critically acclaimed 2002 London Festival Hall concerts. Gilmour has stepped out of his super-group to discover he's still at his peak - and he's rightly pleased. 'It's my best and most personal work,' he says. 'Making it with my musician friends has been a positive experience on so many levels.' EMI. 2006.

Reviews:
A true genius at his finest For all true Gilmour fans, this is just further proof of his genius. He plays no less than four instruments on each song as well as writing the lyrics. Many teamed up with his wife. This is a true love story put to music. From his ever intense lyrics to his soaring and sustaining guitar licks, this is true Gilmour at his finest. This has become one of my favorite all time albums. There is no one as brillant as Gilmour. Not a POP Album If you are looking for more DARK SIDE OF THE MOON go buy a NEKTAR album. This is more mature deeply spiritual and intellectual music. Some complained calling it bedtime music, But I say its wonderful dreamy music to relax or slide off to dreamland with. Davids best solo effort thus far and thats not knocking the other two at all. Its complicated and rich full soundscapes require several listens to really appreciate. You Waters fans who give Gilmour bad reviews because you are bitter, just ask yourself who still has a career. Who has had a great career since Waters got the boot? The only answer is David Gilmour. When you flip on a radio and hear that magical bluesy guitar that is instantly recognizable you know its Gilmour who was the star of PF. I loved the Waters Floyd as well but lets face it after THE WALL Roger took a big dump in the music industry. A shame we will never now see a reunion, but at least Gilmour is still soaring in his senior years. Very Cool Solo CD David Gilmour has a winner with this CD. What an awesome follow-up to a great career playing in Pink Floyd (Awesome Group) Highly recommended!!! On an Island David Gilmour is a great guitar player with outstanding vocals, but he has done much better in my opinion. Gilmour's Best This is the best solo album from Dave Gilmour to date. Being an avid Floyd fan, i expected a Floyd continuation and was pleasantly surprised by a very mellow Gilmour, who is reflecting on his life and where he is musically today. A fine album with Crosby and Nash contributing to some beautifull three part harmony. Also add Phil Manzanera ( from Roxy Musis), on guitar and you have a beautifull album with lovely melodies.
