David Gilmour New Album and Tour in 2012/2013 Rumour | Neptune Pink Floyd Blog

David Gilmour - New Album
Chatterings/rumours have started about David Gilmour releasing a new original studio album and touring it in 2012/2013. David Gilmour’s wife Polly Samson said in an interview the other month that she had been writing lyrics for husband David and recent information has come to light that David is looking through his collection of demos deciding on what would make the next David Gilmour new album!

Once David Gilmour has selected his songs I am sure he will waste no time getting himself onto his Astoria Houseboat Studio which is moored on the Thames River up stream from London. As yet, no such recording has taken place so, technically there is no album and subsequently no tour venues has been booked for a possible David Gilmour tour in 2012 or 2013. However, I am hopeful that in the next 6-18 months, perhaps more information will start becoming available about such things!

Recording in France Now?
A fan on a Pink Floyd RoIO website posted, “According to information I had thanks to a French friend from the PF French forum, Gilmour is currently recording is new solo album in the South of France. Phil Manzanera is involved, as well as drummer Claude Salmieri.” He is said to be recording at Studios La Fabrique in Saint-Rémy de Provence in France.

David was always an influence on me. Thats partialy the reason I bought my first electric guitar in 1997 and I still have it.

Sounds good, a great neck is important!

Did you keep the guitar as stock, or was it modified it in any ways?

Good news re new ablum and tour.

I think I'll save a few sheckles to see Mr Gilmour on tour. I owe it to myself to see him once more, In The Flesh, so to speak.

In other news, I watched The Wall last night for the first time in ages. Must admit I was a bit 'meh' in some bits (particularly the black-shirt fascist scenes). I guess they were very much of their time when the film was made, but I kind of feel like Parker mis-articulated the point being made, even though it does fit with the lyrical theme. I think I'll stick with the Album/Live Album in future...

Yea, here's hoping that it will change from the 'rumour' mentioned thing, and into reality

On my way to sell a kidney or two as we speak.

JK.

I don't know where I came up with that either. Couldn't find anything on teh interwebs to support it. I'm happy to be mistaken.

Waiting for a Blue Ray concert release of Pulse, or Delicate, or... something new? Yes, that would be good.

(other than remember the night)

Sadly, Pulse was recorded on the low-res '90 digital video technology of the day. It required a ton of work just to be updated for 480p DVD.

Be nice to see Pompeii on Blu Ray. an extended version with the extra DSOTM footage, but with the original visuals- not the crap that was added on for the DVD issue.

also be nice to see Delicate on a digital format. Though I'm sure that was also on a poor quality format and would need to. Be re-edited in my humble- ie all of Shine On.. together, instead of over the end credits.

It's such a shame that a stage show like Floyd was never shot on good film in wide angle.

The more PF shows on digital the better!

In the summer of 1978, Roger Waters, Pink Floyd's singer-bassist and primary songwriter, presented the other members with two sets of demos and a choice: Pick one for the next album. The rest of the Floyd wisely voted for Waters' bleak, enraged observation on emotional exile and totalitarian celebrity, provisionally titled Bricks in the Wall. (The other demos became Waters' 1984 midlife-crisis opera "The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking".)

The early version of Young Lust (forget the link now) is really groovy. Quite a different vibe to the angrier version that appeared on the release.

With that and You've Gotta Be Crazy, it seems that they had a bit of a side habit in starting with lots of words and really stripping it down (though with the Dogs predecessor, it sounds like Gilmour is really struggling with it on the '74 concert recording-so not surprised really!).

It may have been mentioned already, but I just found the site (and don't feel like straining through 383 posts, call me lazy) but this site has an amazing amount of info about his gear and such.

Yeah- that's a great site. Some of the backing tracks posted there are great. Money is particularly good.
