David Gilmour: 'On An Island' Re-Release

On Nov. 28th, Columbia Records will be re-releasing On An Island, the solo album released earlier this year from David Gilmour, the guitar and voice of the legendary Pink Floyd. With a DVD of Gilmour's exclusive AOL Sessions performance, this is a must have for die hard Floyd fans. Here is some back ground info on the CD:

On An Island is a collection of songs and instruments 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. 'Its 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.

The ten tracks on the album, which has been produced by David Gilmour, Phil Manzanera and Chris Thomas, are:

01. Castellorizon
02. On An Island
03. The Blue
04. Take a Breath
05. Red Sky At Night
06. This Heaven
07. Then I Close My Eyes
08. Smile
09. A Pocketful of Stones
10. Where We Start

whoa this is very nice ... tho is always hard to hear a member of a great band going solo, i guess i just expect em to sound in a certain way

The album disappointed me a bit. It's definitely Gilmour but he seems to be suffering from not having the rest of the band there to tell him when to shut up - good but it can be even more rambly than Pink Floyd at times.

i bought it the day it came out and it was as amazing then as it is now!
although i dont think i want to buy it again for a dvd that i can prolly just watch online >_

This isnt gilmours first solo album. Im pretty sure he had only two others but there may be more.

[Garci]

I loved this album, but isn't it too early for a re-release?

[scottishmob]

Yes, JimmyPage2247, he had two before this, his self titled and 'About Face'. Both are pretty great.
