David Gilmour – On An Island (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Released into a music world that had spent two decades wondering if Gilmour had said everything he needed to say, On An Island arrived as a deeply unhurried statement from someone with nothing left to prove. The Astoria's houseboat setting gives the record a tidal, reflective quality that feels inseparable from its sound, and the reunion with Richard Wright lends it a weight that only those who understood what the Floyd's dissolution meant could fully appreciate.
Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. On An Island is the third solo album by Pink Floyd member David Gilmour. It was released in the UK on March 6, 2006, Gilmour's 60th birthday. It was his first solo album in 22 years since About Face in 1984 and twelve years since Pink Floyd's 1994 album The Division Bell. The album features Robert Wyatt, Jools Holland, Georgie Fame, David Crosby, Graham Nash, late Pink Floyd keyboardist Richard Wright, early Pink Floyd member Bob Klose and Pink Floyd session and touring musician Guy Pratt. Chris Thomas and Roxy Music's Phil Manzanera assisted with production. Much of the album was recorded in Gilmour's private studio aboard his houseboat Astoria. Orchestrations on the album were arranged by noted Polish film composer Zbigniew Preisner and conducted by Robert Ziegler.
