New Music from David Gilmour (of Pink Floyd)
The members of Pink Floyd - ALL OF THEM - have "categorically denied" any and all rumors of a pink floyd tour. These rumors cropped up after the Live8 concert and I think were generally created by media outlets who wanted to drive traffic to their sites by creating buzz about a potential Floyd reunion.
Well, I guess for me the next best thing is new music that sounds like Pink Floyd.
David Gilmour has released a new album called "On An Island" and I've been listening to it for a few days and I really like it. The Amazon product page has a really cool exclusive "Making of.." video that you can watch.
Some of the music is reminiscent of Pink Floyd's last studio album, The Division Bell, in that a lot of it is pretty mellow. But the guitar work seems to be more active, more driving than the stuff in the Division Bell. Some of the songs definately remind me of much older Floyd.
I definately recommend you check it out!
