Rabs Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 no word in the article I read, he's working on a solo album as is Gilmour......Gilmour is also playing and singing on this new one. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-28191174 Pink Floyd are to release an album of never-before-heard material in October, lyricist Polly Samson has revealed. Titled The Endless River, it will be based on sessions for the band's last studio album, The Division Bell, which was released 20 years ago. The music will feature multi-instrumentalist Rick Wright, a founder member of Pink Floyd, who died in 2008. Writing on Twitter, Samson called the record "Rick Wright's swansong" and described it as "very beautiful". Polly Sampson's tweet The writer, who is married to Pink Floyd guitarist Dave Gilmour, previously contributed lyrics to The Division Bell and Gilmour's solo album On An Island. Backing singer Durga McBroom-Hudson, who has toured with Gilmour and Pink Floyd, subsequently confirmed the new album on Facebook. "Yes, there is a new Pink Floyd album coming out and I'm on it!" she wrote, posting a photo of the recording sessions. Prompted for more information by fans, she revealed that The Endless River consisted of "all unreleased songs" that had originally been planned for a side project called "The Big Spliff". Recording session for new Pink Floyd album Durga McBroom-Hudson (far right) posted a photo from the recording session on Facebook "It was originally to be a completely instrumental recording, but I came in last December and sang on a few tracks," she said. "David then expanded on my backing vocals and has done a lead on at least one of them." "I don't know if there will be a tour or not yet," she added. "Stay tuned." The group, who have sold 250 million albums, last performed at the Live 8 concert in London in 2005. Singer and bassist Roger Waters, who quit in 1985, continues to tour with productions based around the band's concept albums The Wall and Dark Side of the Moon. Although he sued his bandmates in the 1980s, as part of an attempt to stop them using the Pink Floyd name, they appear to have reconciled in recent years, with Gilmour and drummer Nick Mason joining him on stage at the 02 in 2011. Last year, Waters told the BBC his legal case had been a mistake. ""I was wrong! Of course I was," he said. The new Pink Floyd album will be released separately from a 20th anniversary, six-disc box set of The Division Bell, which came out last week.

zigzag Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 David Gilmour can do no wrong in my book, however, The Division Bell was far from their best effort, even though there were a few bright spots. I loved On An Island. Richard Wright was a great talent. Unfortunately, I'm not expecting much from this release; it would be tough to top Live From Gdansk.

zigzag Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 If Gilmour does a song without a strong guitar lead, then the song doesn't seem to fare too well. Other than what Gilmour brings as a stellar guitar player is some damn fine melodies, but his songwriting skills have fallen off on his later stuff, IMO. Could be he's hit a wall.
