David Gilmour featuring Romany Gilmour - Between Two Points (Gus alt-J Remix)

*ABOUT LUCK AND STRANGE*
‘Luck and Strange’ was recorded over five months in Brighton and London and is Gilmour’s first album of new material in nine years. The record was produced by David and Charlie Andrew, best known for his work with ALT-J and Marika Hackman. Of this new working relationship, David says, “We invited Charlie to the house, so he came and listened to some demos, and said things like, “Well, why does there have to be a guitar solo there?” and “Do they all fade out? Can’t some of them just end?”. He has a wonderful lack of knowledge or respect for this past of mine. He’s very direct and not in any way overawed, and I love that. That is just so good for me because the last thing you want is people just deferring to you.”

The majority of the album’s lyrics have been composed by Polly Samson, Gilmour’s co-writer and collaborator for the past thirty years. Samson says of the lyrical themes covered on ‘Luck and Strange’, “It’s written from the point of view of being older; mortality is the constant.” Gilmour elaborates, “We spent a load of time during and after lockdown talking about and thinking about those kind of things.” Polly has also found the experience of working with Charlie Andrew liberating, “He wants to know what the songs are about, he wants everyone who’s playing on them to have the ideas that are in the lyric informing their playing. I have particularly loved it for that reason.”

The album features eight new tracks along with a beautiful reworking of The Montgolfier Brothers’ ‘Between Two Points’ and has artwork and photography by the renowned artist Anton Corbijn.

Musicians contributing to the record include Guy Pratt & Tom Herbert on bass, Adam Betts, Steve Gadd and Steve DiStanislao on drums, Rob Gentry & Roger Eno on keyboards with string and choral arrangements by Will Gardner. The title track also features the late Pink Floyd keyboard player Richard Wright, recorded in 2007 at a jam in a barn at David’s house.

Some contributions emerged from the live streams that Gilmour and family performed to a global audience during the lockdowns of 2020 and 2021; Romany Gilmour sings, plays the harp and appears on lead vocals on ‘Between Two Points’. Gabriel Gilmour also sings backing vocals.

The album’s cover image, photographed and designed by Anton Corbijn, is inspired by a lyric written by Charlie Gilmour for the album’s final song ‘Scattered’. Of working with his family on ‘Luck and Strange’, David says, “Polly and I have been writing together for over thirty years and the Von Trapped live streams showed the great blend of Romany’s voice and harp-playing and that led us into a feeling of discarding some of the past that I’d felt bound to and that I could throw those rules out and do whatever I felt like doing, and that has been such a joy.”

*ABOUT DAVID GILMOUR*

A Cambridge friend of Syd Barrett, David joined Syd, with Roger Waters, Richard Wright, and Nick Mason, in Pink Floyd in early 1968, only for Syd to leave the group five gigs later. Pink Floyd's subsequent huge worldwide success continued after Roger Waters' departure in 1985, with the albums A Momentary Lapse Of Reason and The Division Bell both charting at No. 1 in the UK and the US, and sell-out world tours. Rattle That Lock released in 2015 and David’s 4th solo album, went to No. 1 in 13 countries. In 2017, Live at Pompeii released as a live album and film which was recorded at the Amphitheatre of Pompeii.

"Luck & Strange" is a masterpiece. "Scattered" is the new "Comfortably Numb". And I'm a fan for over 50 years. Thank you all.

Absolutely a new musical project for Romany Gilmour's magical female voice. Congratulations. I like this new art, of the new generation. It's true. It's a conceptually magical song, Romany Gilmour's voice is special on the album. Brilliant.

As a life long Absolute, Pink Floyd die hard. Seen Division Bell two nights in a row in Texas. Roger Waters three times Texas and Coachella about to David in LA. Regardless of how you feel about this remix. Sir David knows exactly what he’s doing. He’s Brought his daughter on board Let multiple artist cover his music. Not to mention make multiple solo albums only he could make. The David Gilmour sound. He knows exactly what he’s doing. He’s passing the torch with his music. He can’t take it with him. So he’s sharing it new artist for future generations. Hate it all you want or embrace his legacy. His music will live forever. Yours truly ultimate Pink Floyd fan. ❤

[canyoncobb]

What an amazing version of the song!! It's so close to being EDM perfection but it's stuck in between two points.

[wfhaselbarg]

just don't mess with stay with the original

[Lacebylad]

Some people would listen to David tapping a stick on a fence and love it because it’s David. Others will hate anything that has no screaming guitar solo or doesn’t involve Roger Waters. I doubt David cares. His choice to explore, experiment and have fun, your choice to listen or not.

J'aime Pink floyd depuis mes 17 ans, et maintenant j'ai 66ans. J'aime tout de Gilmour et sa fille Romany. Je trouve la musique très bonne et la voie de Romany très belle, très claire, magnifique...

[stephenmarsh]

Was unable to get tickets for the RAH, all snapped up in no time😢. I hope there is a DVD/BluRay release of the tour 🙏

[MsAninhadias]

I'm just another fan in love with her idol who hopes not to die before watching the show and having the privilege of hearing David Gilmour live, preferably during the concert. I think that in another life I was also in love with him.❤❤❤❤❤
