"Between two points" is a beautifully sung and performed piece.

[RupertEnglanderTheMAMIL]

Couldn’t agree more about Romany and Between two points. I can only imagine what a complete album with Romany on lead vocal and Dave on guitar solos could be.

[danu]

David and Romany together is really beautiful.

[NicholasSadlier]

Of course Dave Gilmour can have any drummer he wants, but when you mention Steve Gadd is on it, that still makes it sound a little bit more special.

If I was 78 and made this album, I would be quite happy :)
David's melodic, mellow and minimalist style of writing is not to everyone's taste, I know that.
I wish we could get a "David Gilmour and Friends" type album, with lots of guests and a variety of musical styles.

[JonnyDee]

Luck and Strange is pretty much business as usual for me. I love DG's playing and he's treading the well worn path here. Pleasant if not exactly innovative or groundbreaking. Nice and I'll have it on in the car.

You aren’t a critique - you’re a professor. Thank you!

[timwilson]

Gilmour's first self titled albumn deserves more love than it gets. Not so hot on other solo Floyd

[wilfarnold]

Just had my first listen to the whole album- I get Division Bell aromas to borrow a wine analogy- I get the feeling that this one will age well!

[pyromichael]

Gilmours artistry with the guitar is unmatched. This album doesn’t disappoint.

[markperry]

You took me by surprise, I thought you were going to savage this album, and for once, I can agree with you 100%, I love it, I've had thoughts myself recently of not wanting time to run away from me, more time to spend with children and grandchildren, I totally get what Gilmour is saying here, Scattered left me in tears at the end of it.

I think this will end up in my top five of the year ❤️🎵🎵❤️

I have loved what I've heard thus far. I just received my CD, Blu-ray and vinyl additions this afternoon. Time to dive in.

[davidlaw]

And the album was released on Roger " Crankypants " Waters' 81st Birthday.

[rumeniordanov]

I hope that David will be in good shape and health for many years and this will be not his last (farewell) work. Long life to him and his family ❤

[LuisEduardoGalindo]

Different times, different vibes...
I just came from watching the Live session and I have to admit "Dark and Velvet" brought a smile and raised my eyebrows just as PF did back in the days, and for that I thank you Dave. On another hand yes indeed Romany breakthru is quite spotted on. Wish her all best of luck (and not so much of the strange)

[LibrarianDaveLM]

Always appreciate your commentary and learning more about music Thank you

[horrorhands]

There’s no way it’s better than Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Wall or even The Final Cut! Great review - love your eloquent descriptions 👍

[jeffp]

This is a really good record. The fact that he made changes to his production group and collaborated with new musicians tells me that he was really invested in making good music. The previous 2 records were good but predictable. L&S sounds fresh and new but still harbors the Gilmoury traits we love.

[davidrobinson]

I'd love to have seen Roger Waters' face when he read it was the best thing he'd done since Dark Side of the Moon. 😂

[RobertsOnMyTurntable]

Just received my vinyl copy yesterday. Absolutely love it. Will be a few days before i review it. But its beautiful done😊
