| Re: about face!!! It's Daves second solo album. Done right after the big break-up with Rog. Many don't like it, but IMO it's the better of the two; Dave gathered some top-notch musicians together to cut it. I especially like the track "Murder".

| Re: about face!!! Stratman is right, Murder is probably one of Dave's finest efforts, with or without the rest of the boys.. The album is worth it for that track alone, but the rest of the album is very good. It's one of my faves.

| Re: about face!!! I think it's weak. Murder is good but the rest of the album is boring and quite far from Floyd style. I prefer Dave's first effort.

| Re: about face!!! I love it. Murder, Out Of The Blue, Cruise, Let's Get Metaphyscal & Near The End are all great songs IMO.

| Re: about face!!! You know what... its so damn hard to find anybody's solo albums... except for Roger's... And even that is just because he toured in India. I just loved all Roger's solo albums... but i've never heard a song from Dave's, Nick's or Wright's solo albums... Damn this. Well... there's one more thing... everyone says that Roger's album 'Amused to Death' didn't do as as good as expected... well i wonder why it didn't???? I loved the album... absolutely superb lyrics... great music... the last two songs can get me to tears anytime... Ady

| Re: about face!!! Yeah... I know downloading is an option... but again... doesn't really feel right... mainly because of my respect towards the band, wanting to have an original album... and... and... and... The damn dial up connection at home... which ofcourse can't give me downloading speed of more than 3kbps. And through experience of listening to Pink Floyd... I cannot listen to their songs singularly... I have to listen to them album wise... if u know what i mean... I just get addicted man... can't stop... so If i download one song of David Gilmour's... Its not gonna be healthy for me... Gosh... Im desperate for music atleast close to Pink Floyd... as a band I mean. SO what do I expect from solo albums and how close are they to what Pink Floyd (As a band) were? Well.... IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE???? with original music... getting on par, or atleast close to the music Pink Floyd gave to the world? High Hopes eh? Ady

| Re: about face!!! you're right my friend. Itīs not good for me to download any Floydīs album... Every Pink Floyd album i have is an original album. Thatīs why iīd like to buy this solo album, but i canīt find it in the music stores in my town... iīll have to buy it from internet... do you know any website where itīs available??? |

| Re: about face!!! I have to remark that I have *only* original albums of Pink Floyd - bootlegs apart obviously - though I think that since you cannot buy them at least you can listen to the music until you find an original copy. That's my whole point. Plus, I've downloaded lots of stuff in the days of my old dial up connection, just be patient. Cheers.
