David Gilmour (The Guitar And Voice Of Pink Floyd) Island Jam (Releasedate March 6th)

David Gilmour on an Island

Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour has more than one reason to celebrate on his 60th birthday next year - March 6th 2006 sees the long-awaited release of his new solo album "On An Island".

Released on EMI Records, the album is the first solo release from David since 1984's "About Face". Following the release of "On An Island", David will embark on a European and American tour during the months of March, April and May 2006.

"On An Island" is produced by David, along with Chris Thomas and Phil Manzanera. Orchestrations are by the renowned composer Zbigniew Preisner and were recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London.

The title track teams Gilmour with David Crosby and Graham Nash - three of the greatest voices in contemporary music. Richard Wright, Robert Wyatt, Jools Holland, and Guy Pratt also feature on the album.

As a present for his fans, David made a video and a MP3 from a jam-session while making this album. It was only available for some days and has now been removed.

I'm quitte sure that David doesn't mind republishing this take-out for those die-hard-fans who missed it.




Have fun!
