Yeah, On An Island was a grower, after a few spins I found it to be quite enjoyable and the perfect album to listen to in the evenings.

I haven't listened to it for ages, but as far as I can recall, it wasn't an acoustic live album, but I think one of the deluxe versions had a bonus disc with acoustic versions of some songs. The version of "Echoes" on "Live From Gdansk" is mind-blowing btw!

I am beyond ecstatic that this “Big Spliff” material is finally seeing the light of day. I know that Rick Wright was working on material for a solo album before he passed-on, and had thought that if there was some material recorded (demo or otherwise) that Gilmour could have finished it for him. But something like this is far more than I expected.
Even though Gilmour and Waters seems to have (somewhat) patch up their relationship, I wonder if Waters would have accepted an invitation to work-on/finish this material - I.E. play some new bass parts, some lyrical writing and vocals........etc - Since he wasn’t part of the initial writing and recordings in 1993-94. Though it would be great if Waters is (quietly) somehow involved (even limited) – Would make for a great final PF album with all four involved.
I wonder (a little) if the quick statements of “Waters is not involved” and “There will be no tour” are early purposeful misdirection.
Though in reality, this could just be a final "Cleaning Out The Cupboards" of the last unreleased Pink Floyd material sitting in the vaults.

I found this online,I don't know if it's the official cover or not....

Here for the cookies and the tunes
I hope not, that's a terrible cover (IMHO).
Well, terrible for a Floyd album, might be just fine for someone else.

That looks more like a Dream Theater cover. Perhaps Mike Portnoy can comment on that as well!
..... 100% certain it's fake!

Maybe Portnoy made it. Another side project for him.

Wonderful news. I hope that this story is true. If Black Sabbath can bring out a new album after many years, maybe Floyd can do the same. Will it be the same without Rick Wright though?
