"On An Island"

You seem to have a very loose definition of trolling.

Adds a lot of depth to the discussion.

I have my moments, especially at times like these. Can't seem to find the inspiration, it comes naturally.

Here's the cover for the album, courtesy of Brain Damage where you can find other info and the tracklist as well.


The cover seems mediocre, to say the least. IMO, that is. And doesn't seem Storm's work either. What do you think?

I liked the album cover a lot. There's a lot happening there. A subtle but noticable attempt to distance himself from the 'big statement' Pink Floyd covers...but tasteful, moody and interesting.

The press release has also created a LOT of anticipation for me. Can't bloody wait to hear the album...it sounds like there is some great music on it.

yeh i bet there is some great music, i also bet it gets bashed to f*ck on this forum straight away too

i guess island jam isnt going to be on the album? or maybe its just part of another song.

April 5, 2006 was amazing

No, they couldn't find a way to relate it to the theme of the album...

I like the cover artwork and I don't see why it has to be Storm-Thorgerson related. We mustn't forget that this is a David Gilmour album not a Pink Floyd one.

Having said that, I like the fact that Rick Wright is there in a couple of songs playing the Hammond organ and singing. Though this is going to be a David Gilmour album, the contributions that Rick made to TDB were fairly good and a lot of vocal high points in Pink Floyd's back catalogue are David and Rick's voices singing together. And, apart from this, I love how Rick plays the Hammond organ, quite tasty.

Solo work

All you Europeans are lucky because it appears that there will be limited edition 2-cd sets of "On An Island" in Europe, but not in the US...

Maybe because Storm did the artwork for EVERY previous Gilmour solo project - including his recent live DVD in 2002?

Well, it seems Storm has got the boot for this one!
