Though not a founding member of Pink Floyd, David Gilmour is often considered the most talented of the group. Roger Waters fans, we see you. We won’t chime in on the most talented debate. Pink Floyd is known for its experimental, genre-defining sound, only achieved by the talents of all its members.
“This was just Gilmour's third solo project ever, and first in nearly 20 years. On an Island, as a wee-hours recording, matched that leisurely gait almost song for song. Critics pounced, saying the album sometimes sounded too much like it was: a pet project constructed by a semi-retired 60-something multi-millionaire, hanging out with his wife and buddies (Wright, David Crosby and Graham Nash, Phil Manzanera) aboard a houseboat on the Thames. Thing is, this period of contentment seemed to open him up in new ways.”
Noting Gilmour’s ability to create an entirely different sound from his The Wall/Final Cut era, UCR continues, “On an Island, Gilmour once again inhabited his charmingly pretension-free early musical persona, recapturing the cerulean placidity that could make pre-Dark Side-era Pink Floyd recordings so underrated.”
Musical Style and Collaborations
View this post on InstagramOn an Island debuted at #1 in the U.K. and reached the Top 10 in the U.S. Fans and critics alike appreciated the album’s mellow, understated tone, and Gilmour’s maturing sound rather than an attempt to recreate Pink Floyd’s grand scale.
Fan-Favorite Tracks
