Mr Gilmour's third studio album...
all star cast in the studio...
Wix wickens, David Crosby, Graham Nash, Jools Holland, Robert Wyatt, Georgie Fame and Richard Wright to name a few...
three of the ten tracks on here are instrumentals, I usually like his instrumentals but they don't do it for me on this one...
only one track I love also...
I don't know why, but I don't like this album, I think "rattle that lock" and his sefl titled set are way better, but that's my opinion!
I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM
worst track: castellorizon
best track: take a breath

Have to agree with you CH - despite the high-end production and the industry names it is essentially a weak album. Rattle That Lock is a far stronger effort.
