Just heard part of the title track from Gilmour's album. He sounds pretty good.

Re: David Gilmour ‘On An Island’
Okay, finally heard the whole album. Not bad. Not great either but I'm planning to get a copy eventually but it's not on my high priority list. I just really like David Gilmour. The more I learn about the guy, the more he seems to be quite cool.

Just heard it too...and apart from the opening track and "Smile" I think it's a bit lame.

Re: David Gilmour ‘On An Island’
it is definitely mellow to the point of easy-listening, even potentially sleep-inducing. that was my first impression. but it groweth on me apace, really it does. i'm liking it the more i listen to it.
i love that song that opens up sounding a lot like shine on you crazy diamond. can't think of the name of it now, but i dig the hell out of it.
my now impression? i think it's a way cool album with some incredible gilmouran/floydian moments.

but yeah... i still would avoid playing it in my car for those extended highway drives. hello tree.

Here's something I came across today regarding Gilmour's current tour. Makes me want to see it.

Re: David Gilmour ‘On An Island’
Well, since you didn't say so..... here's a link to David Gilmour doing "Wish You Were Here" on the Tonight Show Toyota outdoor stage 4/21/2006.
Wish You Were Here -- 4/20/06
Also at that site is David with David Crosby and Graham Nash doing "On An Island" from David's new CD.

Re: David Gilmour ‘On An Island’
I got it a few days back, and I think it's a very fine album. Yes, it's mellow, but so was "Wish You Were Here". Ain't nothing wrong with mellow if it's good...and this is.
