Released this week worldwide
(November 25th in Europe, November 26th in North America and the rest
of the world) was the expanded version of David Gilmour's 2006 album,
On An Island, and to celebrate, we've got a copy to give away to one
lucky Brain Damage visitor!
 On An Island is a collection of
songs and instruments that had its genus in the critically acclaimed
2002 London Festival Hall concerts. Gilmour has stepped out of his
super-group to discover he’s still at his peak – and he’s rightly
pleased. ‘Its my best and most personal work,’ he said earlier this
year. ‘Making it with my musician friends has been a positive
experience on so many levels.’ And touring it this spring took him to a
new level.
As many of you know, the ten
tracks on the album, which has been produced by David Gilmour, Phil
Manzanera and Chris Thomas, are:
- Castellorizon
- On An Island
- The Blue
- Take a Breath
- Red Sky At Night
- This Heaven
- Then I Close My Eyes
- Smile
- A Pocketful of Stones
- Where We Start
The album is now available, for a
limited time, with a bonus DVD – a must have for fans! Now you can own
David’s electrifying live AOL Sessions performance including:
- On An Island
- This Heaven
- Smile
- Take A Breath
- High Hopes
- Comfortably Numb
Plus, included on the DVD is
"Astronomy Domine" from the Channel 4 TV Abbey Road sessions, in August
2006, and “Take A Breath” from London's Royal Albert Hall, a taster of
the live DVD coming in 2007.
Thanks to our friends over at
Electric Artists, we have a copy of this great CD/DVD set to give away.
