The last one was 22 years ago; things have moved on slightly. If you like Floyd, the new one delivers. It's (mostly) chill-out for the noughties. I've had it on loop for the last four days, and it grows. Breathe of fresh air, unless you like shouty-shouty attitude and that pointy-finger stuff all the youngsters do now-a-days (hurrummph; in my day etc etc......)

I managed to get hold of a copy of David Gilmours About Face the other day, thought I was going to have trouble as its a discontinued cd. HMV said they had it, but then e mailed me to say they were out of stock. But it finally came this week. Needless to say MOH has knicked it for the tiv but not before i copied it onto the pc.

Have the vinyl in the loft, but nothing to play it on. Will have to have a look for this new one on Monday.

I'm a member of a new-age-punk band and we're shortly going to be covering "money" and "dark side of the moon"

I'll upload the demo and link it asap.

Right off to HMV/Virgin today
I also see the BBC is recording a performance this week at the Mermaid Theatre to broadcast on Radio2 next Saturday night and then archived so you can listen to it anytime. Also there is a digital TV performance

Recorded on his house boat, as well!
If you watched 3 men in a boat with Rory McGrath and team recently, you will know that

It's a good album. It's quite chilled-out and relaxed, and it really isn't too pushy as an experience. I'd say that it sounds exactly like I thought it would, which is fair enough really.

Is there some classic gilmour guitaring moments in there, and any songs in the mould of Comfortably Numb?

Indeed there are, although I'm not sure anything is comparably as good as 'Comfortably Numb' which is fantastic in my opinion.

Standout tracks for me are the title track 'On an Island', which starts good and gets better as it goes along, and 'Castellorizon' which has some great guitar licks.

Edited as apparently the word 'goes' starts with the letter 'g', not 'd'
