 Greatness
This is an amazing piece of work...tons of classic gut wrenching Gilmour playing that no other man is close to being able to replicate as sweetly! One of the best players EVER!!

 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.

 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!

 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.

 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 8. It's Deafinitely 9. I Can't Breathe Anymore ~
