The debut album from this artist from Great Britain.
David Gilmour did the guitars, keyboards, piano, harmonica and vocals here.
He got help from some guests who added percussion, drums, bass, piano and backing vocals.
David Gilmour is most known as the guitarist and main vocalist in Pink Floyd. He also got a very successful solo career. I intend to review most of his solo albums this winter.
The natural start is off course his debut album, this album.
The music on this album is melodic art-rock with a lot of psych-rock influences. The songs here most of all reminds me about the more melodic Pink Floyd songs.
A Momentary Lapse Of Reason and The Division Bell is two Pink Floyd albums that springs to mind here.
It is pretty obvious that David kept the best songs for Pink Floyd and left the less good songs for this solo album. That to his eternal credit.
There are some great guitar solos here and some good songs. Well, all the songs here are good. It is pretty obvious that he is one of the best guitarists of all time too, as proven by some stuff on this album.
This is a good album and one well worth checking out.
