It's just damn fun and exciting that Floyd has an album coming out. Of course, the glory days are behind us, but Division Bell and Momentary Lapse had some good moments. I really hope they tour a bit. We are getting to the end of the classic rock artists being able to be on the road, so this is just damn fun!!

Indeed, but it's nice to read that they are making another go at it, especially using Rick's material and all that.
At ay rate, ill listen to it.

I don't want to get your hopes up. I was only speculating about whether unused Wright compositions would be on the album. I never read anything to the effect; I only vaguely remember reading something about Wright working on a follow-up to Broken China. Does anyone else remember reading something along those lines?
BTW, if that new Waters song that was recently released is anything to go by, his new album could be quite lame... (I admire his politics, I agree with him 100% concerning his views of the Israeli occupation and his calls for a South Africa Apartheid-like boycott of Israel; I just didn't like that new track at all.)

Now that's exciting! I do hope they can get Waters involved somehow, even if it's just a guest appearance.

Roger isn't involved, this album is evolved from The Division Bell and the Barn Jams.

How can anyone know for sure at this point? From what I've read, details are still a bit sketchy...

Yeah. It seems unlikely, but then again Waters & Gilmour seem to have been getting on better in recent years, the appearance at one of The Wall concerts, etc.

Rick was a friend of Roger too, hard to fathom that Rog wouldn't be involved out of respect for his buddy with whom he had no legal issues with.....

Gilmour's most recent album was his best. I still always listen to tracks like On an Island and The Blue. (I'd love an entire album of tracks like those two.) So I'm quite hopeful.

I so hope this becomes a reality !!! I love those 'Barn Jams', and Gilmour's 'On An Island' is pure ear-candy. I'm sure there'd be something in the bag to get another Floyd album on the racks.....
