Pulse Best Album by David Gilmour

wonderful album sung by Gilmour. He reminds me in his songs on this album of my father who died, WWII fighter pilot. The video and plane crash, he died in a plane crash in Texas. Gilmour is singing to me in all of these songs on this album.

Pro Reviews: David Gilmour
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews By the time of Gilmour's solo debut, he had not only established himself several times over as an underrated, powerful guitarist in Pink Floyd, but as a remarkably emotional singer, his soothing approach perfectly suited to such songs as "Wish You Were Here." The self-titled album, recorded with journeyman bassist Rick Wills and Sutherland Brothers drummer Willie Wilson, later to be part of the touring Floyd lineup for its Wall dates, isn't a deathless collection of music in comparison to Gilmour's group heights, but is a reasonably pleasant listen nonetheless. Certainly it's much more approachable than Animals, released later that year, eschewing epics for relatively shorter, reflective numbers. While Gilmour wrote the vast majority of the songs himself, the most successful number was cowritten with Unicorn member Ken Baker: "There's No Way Out of Here," an agreeably dreamy, wistful song featuring an attractive acoustic slide guitar/harmonica hook. That it sounds a bit like a Pink Floyd outtake certainly doesn't hurt, but one figures Roger Waters would have tried for some heavily barbed lyrics to offset the melancholy. Throughout the album Gilmour sounds like he's having some jamming fun with his compatriots in his own particular blues-meets-the Home Counties style, adding keyboard overdubs here and there (his efforts are passable, but it's understandable why he's known for his guitar work first and foremost). Numbers of note include "Cry From the Street," with its fully rocked out conclusion, the sweetly sad "So Far Away," one of his best vocal showcases, and the concluding "I Can't Breathe Anymore," capturing the recurrent Pink Floyd theme of isolation quite well. While one would be hard pressed to hum a memorable melody outside of "There's No Way Out of Here," it's still a good enough experience for those who enjoy his work. - Ned Raggett, All Music Guide |

This first solo album by David Gilmour is simply said a wonderfull masterpiece of rock music and has no pretentious meanings. It is easy to listen and easy to love, one of those albums you love to listen alone in empty house somwere beetween 22:00 and 06:00.
The interesting thing is that the first song Mihalis is in fact an older version of instrumental Marooned from Division bell, and in the end of "Raise my rent" (in a fade out solo) you can here a well known "Another brick in the wall part II" guitar solo.
This simply proves that David allways knew his best works and wasn't shy to use them.
This is simply the best solo album that any of Pink Floyd members ever wrote.
Enjoy... ...
