Today, itâs the turn of Dave Kerznerâs New World. OMG! An epic of an album with an awesome guestlist â Steve Hackett, Billy Sherwood, Keith Emerson, Simon Phillips, and others.
Itâs unabashedly Floydian, Kerzner even sounds a bit like David Gilmour, except there was a luminosity about Gilmourâs voice that canât be replicated (âwasâ being the operative word IMHO ...). Itâs a grand tribute of top notch quality by someone who appears to be a sonics expert. Another one for the never ending listl!!

Certainly a good production, and anything with Simon Phillips get my attention. However, I find this one to be a little over the top for my liking. Just a bit too much going on. The lyrics don't make any sense to me at all either or maybe I am missing the point altogether??!!??
