More info on Gilmour's expanded "Island" CD/DVD

Written by Matt

Thursday, 12 October 2006

A week ago, we brought you the announcement from Columbia Records of a special "expanded" edition of David Gilmour's On An Island. The album was originally released earlier this year, on March 6th (David's birthday).

Gilmour's own website has now provided an update on what this new, limited edition will bring people when it appears on November 20th (Europe), and November 28th (North America and rest of the world).

Last month, we brought you the news that Guy Pratt, who very ably took care of bass duties on David Gilmour's On An Island tour, had arranged some more of his fantastic one-man shows.

New film gets "comfortably numb"

Written by Matt

Friday, 06 October 2006

The latest cinema release from Martin Scorcese is a thriller called "The Departed", which features some real Hollywood heavyweights in the excellent cast. Of interest to Floyd fans is a sequence in the movie with Comfortably Numb - the version performed by Van Morrison at Roger Waters 1990 Berlin concert. Reason for this version? Possibly due to most of the characters being Irish American, and other Irish songs feature in the soundtrack. And it IS a good track, as well!

Our thanks to all who wrote with this info!
