Free Music Notes for David Gilmour
Free Music Review: David a talent???
Hit: 1 Stars
I'm unsure how many years people are willing to pay David Gilmour for replicating Roger Waters stuff.
Gilmour is self-admittedly not a good guitarist,so why waste your money on Floyd replicas???
I'm sorry, he did some good "mood" solos with Floyd, I'm just tired of hearing them over and over in a "New" song which sounds just like a Roger Waters song with bad poetry (lyrics).
Free Music Review: David Gilmour - First Solo Album Outside Of Pink Floyd
Hit: 5 Stars
Gilmour, of course, is best known as the guitarist for Pink Floyd. In 1978 he put out this his first solo album of shorter songs mostly in the 4 to 5 minute range. If I remember correctly the two guys he recruited to perform on the album with him had been in a band with Gilmour when they were kids. The bass player is Rick Willis who has had stints with both Foreigner and Bad Company, and the drummer was Willie Wilson. I have always liked this album. The songs are relatively simple, but all contain that distinctive David Gilmour guitar that is uniquely his. Gilmour's voice is also one of a kind with it's soothing quality that always gave Pink Floyd that special touch. The album is a mix of instrumentals and vocal tunes that reflect a similar sound to what fans are used to in Floyd. The lyrics, while not as profound as Roger Waters, are all decent and enjoyable. Highlights include, "Mihalis", "There's No Way Out Of Here", "So Far Away", "Raise My Rent", and "I Can't Breathe Anymore". The bottom line is if you like Gilmour's work with Pink Floyd you will probably like this nice little disc.Free Music Review: great remaster job!

2006's "on an island" was a immediate classic in my world, so i had to go back and reinvestigate mr gilmour's back catalouge of solo work, which is only two other albums, sadly. this, his first solo outting, from 1978, is a fine album that i had overlooked all these years. closer in tone to "dark side of the moon," than to "the wall," which his 1984 release "about face," more resembles, this recording is a strong effort, with mr gilmour's relaxed voice and lyrical guitar work shining on nine excellent songs. for me, the real standout on this record is the gorgeous instrumental "raise my rent," which contains heartfelt guitar wizardry that is as fine as any playing to be found by mr gilmour anywhere. all in all, an outstanding rock album. i'm glad i finally got around to it.Free Music Review: Incredible Sounding Remaster
Hit: 5 Stars
I've owned the original CD since it's initial release in the '80s, and I've always felt that it sounded flat and lifeless, so I ordered this remaster with hope of at least modest improvement. After fetching it from the mailbox, I popped it in my player, hit play, and I couldn't believe what I was hearing. This disc has depth, dynamics, warmth, and perfect tonal balance - all way beyond anything I had hoped for. Who remastered it? Doug Sax. He and his company, The Mastering Lab, do a lot of work for several audiophile labels, and he is considered to be the best in the business. Apparently he was given a lot of freedom on this project, because even the volume level isn't jacked up to todays record company norms. He gave it plenty of headroom and no noticeable compression, and it sounds sweet! This is an audiophile quality disc for the standard admission price. I wish they'd clone this guy.
