New Album From Pink Floyd Hot on the heels of the confirmed new David Gilmour album in 2015 comes the news that a new Pink Floyd album is on it's way in October this year! We have known about this album for some time but were sworn to secrecy, now we can reveal the details. The album, named 'The Endless River' is based on the 1994 sessions of The Division Bell. Nick Mason referenced the source material (in his book ‘Inside Out,’) saying “we eventually ended up with enough left-over material that we considered releasing it as a second album,” and naming it 'The Big Spliff." But the new album is more than just a series of outtakes! David Gilmour, Nick Mason and the late Rick Wright originally performed a series of ambient instrumentals which have since been worked on by both David Gilmour & Nick Mason. Last December David brought in backing singers Sarah Brown, Durga McBroom-Hudson and Louise Clare Marshall to sing the backing vocals for a song in which David Gilmour sings lead vocals. An interesting aside is that Polly Samson is now credited as being a Lyricist on the new album. We can also confirm that THERE WILL BE NO TOUR. And for those hoping for input from Roger Waters the answer is a resounding NO! (5 July 2014)

The OFFICIAL statement reads: Pink Floyd can confirm that they are releasing a new album, The Endless River, in October 2014. It is an album of mainly ambient and instrumental music based on the 1993/4 Division Bell sessions. The album is produced by David Gilmour with Phil Manzanera, Youth and recording engineer Andy Jackson. Work is still in progress, but more details to come at the end of the summer.

Footnote: The site was closed this past weekend and the following is the reason why:

I became aware of details about a new Pink Floyd album some time ago. However I was requested by Pink Floyd Management not to release any details of this until such a time as an official statement was made.   I undertook not to do so. Early on 5 July Polly Samson Tweeted about the album and I made the assumption that I was now able to release the details I had about the new album. (The FIRST site on the internet to do so) However, after posting the news on this site I notified Pink Floyd Management about what I had done. I was then asked to remove the story as it had not been cleared by official channels. Col  

David Gilmour Album - Major Announcement We have had it OFFICIALLY confirmed that David Gilmour's new album is planned to be released in 2015  . Although a lot of work has already been completed (and is still underway) the album is nowhere ready to be recorded as yet. It's also been confirmed that David has not yet decided to tour the new album next year, although we do have our fingers & toes crossed. (Filed 17 June) UPDATE Another reliable source has suggested May 2015 although that is NOT official. Further Update Despite some doubters out there we can confirm that the news of David's album sometime in 2015 is OFFICIAL and when we say OFFICIAL, we mean OFFICIAL!!!!!

in kleinem, bescheidenen Rahmen à la On An Island - also in kleineren Hallen und mit minimalem technischen Aufwand.

Aber Danzig war absolut klasse!
