- 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.' And touring it this spring can only take him to a new high.

Not a bad track to be heard. Favourite Gilmour album.

In a nutshell, this holds an amazingly chilled out, laid back feel throughout the whole album, that I honestly cannot find on any other artists albums. I just hope he will eventually keep the material coming out. Definitely my favourite musician ever. Love it!
Dave Gilmour is probably the best guitarist of all time and is very much underated. If you like melodic guitar this album is a must.
great
