From the first moments of the sound collage that begins On an Island, you know it's a special experience that not only bears comparison with the best of Pink Floyd, but also confirms their lead guitarist and singer as an outstanding solo artist. Here he reveals a breadth of styles--folk, jazz, orchestral, and rock--brought together as a unified piece through his lyrical guitar playing.
Reviews:
His first solo album in more than two decades, unless you count those Roger Waters-less Pink Floyd records. Guests range from the sublime (Robert Wyatt) to the ridiculous (Graham Nash), with Polish composer Zbigniew Preisner providing full-on orchestrations that would have been left to a lone DX-7 back in the day.
