biography
David Gilmour is best known for his distinctively spacy, atmospheric guitar work for Pink Floyd. Born March 6, 1944, in Cambridge, England, Gilmour was well acquainted with the members of Pink Floyd when they asked him to join their band to supplement the guitar work of the increasingly erratic Syd Barrett. When Barrett's mental breakdown made it impossible for him to continue with the group, Gilmour became a permanent contributing member in time for their second album, 1968's A Saucerful of Secrets. Gilmour has recorded solo albums during periods of Pink Floyd inactivity, including 1978's moody David Gilmour, 1984's more melodic About Face (after the breakup of the Roger Waters-led lineup), and 2006's laid-back, lyrical On an Island (which became a Top Ten hit). A concert set, Live in Gdansk, appeared in 2008. Gilmour has also lent his guitar to a number of other artists' records, notably Kate Bush and Bryan Ferry. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide

PF without politics

- "On an Island" is the best thing in years from a Pink Floyd lovers perspective. It's got the melody and playing that made Pink Floyd famous. It's actually closer to a PF style than any of the PF albums produced without Waters. An added bonus is that there's no politics in this. You can be swept away guilt free and are simply left with happy eupohria. I'm now looking forward to Live in Gdansk out tomorrow!
