On an Island, David Gilmour's third solo studio album, came out on EMI in the UK on 6 March 2006, which happened to be his 60th birthday, and in the US a day later. It was his first solo record in 22 years, since About Face in 1984, and it landed nearly 12 years after The Division Bell, which at the time looked like Pink Floyd's final word. Phil Manzanera produced it, and the sessions took place at Astoria.
Nobody should come looking for fireworks, and that's the point. This is progressive rock at a slow simmer, the sound of a man with nothing left to prove letting his guitar lines hang in the air, unhurried and luminous, with the title track drifting along like a boat that has nowhere urgent to be.
