The third album from this artist from Great Britain.
David Gilmour did the percussion, bass, guitars, piano, electric piano, organ, harmonica, saxophone and vocals here.
He had help from some guests who provided drums, percussion, bass, harmonica, piano, organ, keyboards, strings, woodwinds, programming, electronics and backing vocals.
David Gilmour gave his main job as the band leader in Pink Floyd his full attention after the release of his second studio album back in 1984. Pink Floyd then disbanded and David were left unemployed... sort of.
So back to a solo-career in other words and some more regular album releases.
The result is this one hour long come-back album.
The music is softly spoken and pretty slow. It is not particular focused on ballads. The music is really slow and has some neo-classical music influences. Not to mention musicals influences.
There is still some Pink Floyd influences here too.
The music is not technical, epic or bold. It is too pedestrian for that. There are some good pieces of music here and some pieces which is a bit poor.
The result is a decent to good album which fails to impress. I had expected a lot better music than this.
2.5 points
