'On An Island' is the title track from David Gilmour's forthcoming album which is released to coincide with David's 60th Birthday on March 6th. Produced by Phil Manzanera & featuring a host of amazing musicians including Crosby & Nash, Jools Holland, Richard Wright, Phil Manzanera, Robert Wyatt & Georgie Fame. This is the first solo release from David in over 21 years and was recorded at David's own studio the "Astoria" & the world famous Abbey Road Studios.

On An Island is the third David Gilmour 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.

Although Gilmour takes some writing credits, most go to writer Polly Samson, continuing a collaborative partnership that began with The Division Bell. The songs tell of shared experiences that evoke a breadth of moods.

Innofensive. Not a patch on Floyd. I suppose you cant expect it to be but even judged on its own it appears tepid middling of the road song with intermitant Guitar Solos that beg the question why am i listening to this when i can listen to older Floyd albums where such musical ground has already been covered but much much more satisfactorly
