Was This Review Helpful? Yes No bluesy debut.
heraing david gilmour's solo album is like going to a calming trip. perfect for road trips. the guitar tones sound like billy gibbons but with a british flavor and very liquidy sounds coming out of the guitar will make your jaw drop. calm soothing instrumentals like raise my rent and mihalis showcase the guitar as the main show. don't think this is a soft rock album dave can rock out too. he also does vocals on some tracks like short and sweet but raise my rent is tops even though you may think this is a wheather channel sounding song, it calms you down. thank god this is not a roger waters ego trip like radio K.A.O.S. that album was dated but not this one. from the start of mihalis to the lush i can't breathe anymore, this is an unkown classic now remastered beautifully.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Gilmour's masterpiece
There is no question that his greatest work is with Pink Floyd, yet this solo effort ranks among the greatest Pink Floyd albums of the 70's. My analog to digital CD copy is mixed so low it's painful. It's about time that a properly remastered version is finally available. The music is everything great about post-Syd Floyd:masterful guitar leads,mind-altering ambient synthesizer and David's finest vocals Its almost like a "lost" Pink Floyd album. Definitely Gilmour's finest: I CAN'T BREATHE ANYMORE!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No A GREAT UNKNOWN ALBUM
This is IMHO the best solo album from any Pink Floyd member, closely followed by the two Syd Barrett efforts. Simple music but with a very strong emotional impact. It's hard to choose a fave track, but sometimes I put the CD only to hear "Short And Sweet" and "I Can't Breathe Anymore". A really great and timeless album. Buy it with closed eyes.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Raise my Rent
Fantastic solo release (1978) from Pink Floyd guitarist. Gilmour teams up with bassist Rick Wills and drummer Willie Wilson. The cover photo is a good representation of the music inside. Somber in moments, enchanting and very listenable. Guitar solos relay gut emotions that range the entire spectrum. An album that reflects very well the creative period happening for him and the floyd group during this time period.
Opening track Milhalis and Raise my Rent are favorites both as compositions and soloing. Well Done indeed, Mr. Gilmour.
Five Star rating and highly recommended.
Song List:
1. Mihalis
2. There's No Way Out of Here
3. Cry from the Street
4. So Far Away
5. Short and Sweet
6. Raise My Rent
7. No Way

David Gilmour CD music
 $13.35   
The men of Pink Floyd have always taken their time, turning out stately epics at a less than hectic clip. Accordingly, 22 years separate ON AN ISLAND from ABOUT FACE, the previous solo album by Floyd axeman/singer David Gilmour. On the latter, Gilmour was still trying to distance his own sound from Floyd's, but with that band mostly a memory in 2006, he was free to honor its legacy, much as Paul McCartney's later albums acknowledged the Beatles' work.
The template for ON AN ISLAND seems to be tracks like "Breathe" from DARK SIDE OF THE MOON. The mood is an overwhelmingly mellow, spacious one, with Gilmour's trademark double-tracked vocals and plangent, liquid guitar tones flowing gracefully across almost exclusively slow-to-mid-tempo arrangements. But with Roger ...
| | David Gilmour About Face CD (1984) Remastered
David Gilmour music CDs
$9.89
Combining layered vocals with a heavily looped guitar sound, "Until We Sleep" begins ABOUT FACE with an almost Byrds-like quality, while the gentleness of the acoustic opening to the ballad "Murder" disguises its homicidal subject matter. Both "Love On the Air," and "All Lovers are Deranged," are distinguished by lyrics written by Pete Townshend, and "Blue Light" is an attempt at funk with a Floydian flavor. Gilmour's strength at ballad writing is evidenced in "Out of the Blue," while the obligatory instrumental is "Let's Get Metaphysical." The album closer is, appropriately enough, the song "Near the End." All in all an essential album in any Floyd fan's collection.
This follow-up to David Gilmour's late '70s debut is a Bob Ezrin-produced post-WALL effort, and as such it incorporates the harder sounds Gilmour had become ...
| | Electric Light Orchestra A New World Record - Expanded Edition CD (1976) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
David Gilmour songs
$10.89
Also available in a 3-pack with FACE THE MUSIC and DISCOVERY.
1976's A NEW WORLD RECORD is both a classic of commercial '70s pop and an archetypal ELO album. From the outer-space synths and rich orchestrations that open the album to Jeff Lynne's meticulous production and Beatlesque melodies, A NEW WORLD RECORD is magnificent ear candy. Both ambitious enough to appeal to "serious" rock fans and ultra-catchy enough to sound terrific on Top 40 radio (the plaintively gorgeous, McCartney-like "Telephone Line" and the anthemic "Livin' Thing" were well-deserved smashes), ELO was one of the few '70s bands whose appeal covered both the FM and AM spectrums. The album even resurrects "Do Ya," a classic single by Lynne's former band, the Move, in a splashy new version.
The next ELO album, 1977's elaborate ...

Also available in a 3-pack with A NEW WORLD RECORD and DISCOVERY.
ELO was big enough by 1974 that some people actually suggested that ELDORADO featured Satanic backward-masking. Of course, the idea was ludicrous; but the band playfully responded by adding a backward message to "Fire on High," the opening instrumental on 1975's FACE THE MUSIC.
Besides "Fire on High," which was used as background music for countless television programs in the '70s, this album's eight lengthy tracks include two enormous hits, "Evil Woman" and the McCartneyesque ballad "Strange Magic." Decades later, these two tracks are still in constant rotation on classic-rock radio around the world. Those three songs defined the new sound of ELO. Gone were the elaborate, classically styled overtures, in favor of concise, ultra-melodic pop songs given lush, romantic orchestral arrangements with endlessly overdubbed harmony vocals. The next three ELO ...
| | Electric Light Orchestra On The Third Day CD (1973) Bonus Tracks; Remastered; Expanded Edition
David Gilmour CD music
$9.29
In some ways, 1973's ON THE THIRD DAY is the first "true" ELO album. Though co-founder Roy Wood had left the band to form the more experimental Wizzard after the first album, his influence was still all over 1972's ELO II, especially on the orchestrated cover of Chuck Berry's "Roll Over Beethoven." ON THE THIRD DAY, however, is pure Jeff Lynne, the first album completely devoted to his soon-to-be enormously successful blend of psychedelic-era Beatles and 19th-century classical music. The pristinely recorded results are ultra-melodic and incredibly lush, with ballads ...

Also check out Jeff newest album Sonic Shapes- Music for Film, TV, and Multimedia Production.Jeff Greenleaf, a Braille Specialist for blind children, has released 2 albums in 2007: Chill Factory and Dragon Eyes. Jeff Greenleaf has played guitar, harmonica, keyboards, and bass in various rock bands for the past 20 years.When he moved to Santa Barbara in his college years, Jeff started to write, record, and perform his original music as a solo act. Greenleaf also produced music festivals which featured Santa Barbara's best bands. He performed in a multitude of festivals, coffee houses, and parties. Greenleaf experimented with recording electronica music and gained a loyal following through his performances. In his second album, Dragon Eyes, The Malibu-based songwriter steps forward with a stirring and reflective collection of cool, propulsive melodies and warm, hopeful ballads. Textured with a deft blend of acoustic and electric guitars with old skool keyboards, Jeff Greenleaf archives his best musical ideas and stylings. Dragon Eyes is the result of Jeff's construction of a new, state of the art home studio in 2006. "In the 6 years since my last album, I have learned so much about running a recording studio, producing, and engineering" says Greenleaf. "I'm really excited about the release of Dragon Eyes for so many reasons, but mainly because it demonstrates my ability to skillfully produce and shape a musical moment." Jeff has always had an appreciation for electronic music, but his time spent in Spain was a real turning point. "I spent a week in Ibiza Spain, which is this tiny island that revolves around electronic music (techno, house, chill, drums n' bass, etc). They literally have the biggest clubs in the world on this beautiful little island on the Mediterranean Sea. Every single billboard along the roads advertise for the clubs with these amazing colorful graphics. Young people from all over Europe come there just to listen to this music because all the famous DJs live there," explains Greenleaf. "The music was so fresh to me and I'll never forget being in the middle of the dance floor with hundreds of people at 7:30 in the morning getting covered with foam bubbles!" The electronica flavor on Dragon Eyes is a tribute to the foam parties in Ibiza. "With all of my previous recordings, there are always things that bother me now when I hear them," explains a thoughtful and self-effacing Jeff Greenleaf. "I think this is the record where I've really got it right," he adds with a laugh. "It's the record that seems to have that mysterious combination of elements, all falling right into place." Greenleaf points out "My earlier recordings are all my babies, but this one I get excited about, because it bounces around a lot. When the engineering was complete and the album was being pressed, I had this image of myself running through a war zone with it, holding it like a baby --- protecting it. Bullets whizzing past my head," Greenleaf says over pizza in his recording studio. Jeff's 3rd album Chill Factory is a combination of New Age, Chill, Downtempo, World Music, and Soundtrack music. "I've been working nights as a massage therapist for several years and I realized that it was time to record an album dedicated to relaxation," explains Greenleaf. "It started out as a simple project focusing on droning hypnotic soundscapes but it quickly changed into something much more," Greenleaf remembers. While the album ...
