{"product_id":"david-gilmour-on-an-island","title":"David Gilmour On An Island","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe men of Pink Floyd have always taken their time, turning out stately epics at a less than hectic clip. Accordingly, 22 years separate ON AN ISLAND from ABOUT FACE, the previous solo album by Floyd axeman\/singer David Gilmour. On the latter, Gilmour was still trying to distance his own sound from Floyd's, but with that band mostly a memory in 2006, he was free to honor its legacy, much as Paul McCartney's later albums acknowledged the Beatles' work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe template for ON AN ISLAND seems to be tracks like \"Breathe\" from DARK SIDE OF THE MOON. The mood is an overwhelmingly mellow, spacious one, with Gilmour's trademark double-tracked vocals and plangent, liquid guitar tones flowing gracefully across almost exclusively slow-to-mid-tempo arrangements. But with Roger Waters missing from the equation, there's a notable lack of misanthropy in Gilmore's lyrical sentiments. The themes are more in keeping with the life of a fabulously wealthy elder statesman of British rock: placidly philosophical, with a luxurious air that finds its parallel in the elegant layers of guitar and keyboard lines that color the album in shimmering pastel shades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 2018-09-07\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 2018-09-07\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"David Gilmour","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53458265112760,"sku":"WF8UWN-TT0Q-UT","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9222\/8280\/files\/david-gilmour-on-an-island_qsnWl.jpg?v=1778611238","url":"https:\/\/musicrecordshop.com\/products\/david-gilmour-on-an-island","provider":"Music Record Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
