Brain Damage and A Fleeting Glimpse

Pink Floyd 1968WELCOME TO THE 26th YEAR OF BRAIN DAMAGE, YOUR PINK FLOYD, DAVID GILMOUR, NICK MASON, SYD BARRETT, RICHARD WRIGHT AND ROGER WATERS NEWS RESOURCE!

It's 2025! This year sees the 50th anniversary of Wish You Were Here, which is an incredible thought; where does the time go?!

The stunningly restored and remixed Pink Floyd At Pompeii MCMLXXII on Blu-ray, 2CD, 2LP, DVD, digital and cinema screenings are now here - with some more cinema screenings in selected places. However you experience it, it is NOT to be missed!

There's also been three Record Store Day releases released on April 12th, from David Gilmour, Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets, and Roger Waters which are also definitely worth tracking down, either in a participating store, or online, now that RSD has finished.

Last year, David Gilmour's superb new album, Luck and Strange, was released in a variety of formats, and a selection of coloured vinyls. A limited number of concert dates thrilled crowds in Brighton and London, England, Rome, Italy, and Los Angeles and New York, USA. Rome shows were filmed for release at some point...watch this space!

The Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets 2024 Set The Controls tour revealed a band in even better form than the 2022/23 shows which managed to exceed everyone's hopes and expectations! Our sincerest hopes are that they continue, but in the meantime, there's the RSD release, and the earlier live recording from London's Roundhouse on Blu-ray, DVD/2CD, and 2LP which is really excellent.

Of course, Roger Waters read three extracts from his memoirs in October 2023 at the London Palladium, so it might not be too long before that is published...he's also working on his new album based around The Bar - we'll let you know as soon as we get all the info! Before all that though is the release of Roger Waters This Is Not A Drill Live In Prague on 4LP vinyl, Blu-ray, DVD, 2CD and digital on August 1st!

David Gilmour's On An Island - hear the album now! Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Monday, 27 February 2006

With David Gilmour's new album, On An Island, arriving in less than seven days (it hits the stores on March 6th in the UK and Europe, and March 7th in the US), we have news of how you can tune in to a preview of the complete album, and also win tickets for the special BBC performance by David and his band!

First, that preview. Do you fancy hearing the album in full, with David introducing each track? Of course you do! Some 400 radio stations in the US are offering the facility to do just that - via a special on-demand "Sneak Peek" of the album, created by Clear Channel. This is the link you need; it will be available until March 2nd.

It is great to hear David introduce each of the tracks, giving an insight into what is a lovely, and very personal, album. The quality, as an internet stream, isn't perfect, and to foil pirates, there is a deliberately annoying tag line that appears intermittently over the songs, for copyright purposes, but this is not bad enough to stop you taking that initial listen prior to hearing the real thing, from your very own CD!

Turning to the special BBC concert that David is performing, for later broadcast, the excellent blog over at DavidGilmour.com (which in itself has become an essential daily visit, is offering a pair of tickets to visitors to the site. Visit the blog for full details... you need to be quick, and be resident in the UK. Good luck in your efforts to get a pair!

Talking of winning - don't forget that our competition to win 'On An Island' goodies ends at midnight GMT on March 5th - so get your entry in! And good luck!

Our thanks to Michael Soucy for his help.

The album can now be ordered for delivery upon release (if you are quick!), through these special links: US/International, UK/Europe, Canada, France or Germany.

And finally, we know that a number of you will also want to buy the vinyl edition (or indeed, instead of the CD version!). Here's the links you need for this edition, which will be in a specially designed gatefold sleeve: Amazon UK, France, or Germany. The vinyl edition will be released shortly after the CD version - as yet we don't have the exact date, but you shouldn't have to wait too long. A painstaking job is being taken with this edition, so should be worth it!
