Still the best guitarist in my opinion.

My sentiments exactly, although I was not a "child" when it came out.  Great album.

Sorry, just can't dig the vibe. I know many people love DG solo but to me it's all very boring. It's no wonder Pink Floyd sucks so much after they split with Roger Waters. It's kind of catchy bu it starts and ends there.

..lyrics (`nuff sed?)..plus the Gilmour musicality..but serious: you
  don't find lyrics like these, these days..(well, seldom).. 

Now I know where the riff from "Run Like Hell" was birthed.

Wow, that brought me some inspiration!

What a great description of this song.

A great song but this version doesn't do it full justice. Co-writer Roy Harper released his version on "Unknown Soldier" a year or two later('79/'80). Much more concise, tight and imaginative in the rearrangement of words and music; the strings by David Bedford near perfect, unable to decide on which of two takes to use, they ended up using em both with the resulting counterpoint quite exquisite. Check youtube for other live versions.

 Elsewhere on that record you get Roy, Dave G AND Kate B all on one track (The Game II). I'm surprised Bill hasn't winkled that one out of the ether yet, or the other tune with that heavenly trio on the title track of  "Once" (91).

 Come to that we haven't heard Peter Gabriel and Kate B's amazing duet on Roy Harper's "Another Day", from the KB TV special, and also covered elsewhere by the Cocteau Twins amongst others. Furthermore Roy Harper barely seems to register on RP's radar ("Have a Cigar" excepted), given his pedigree and that of his musical cohorts that's a bit of a shocker...eg JP Jones, B Bruford, D Gilmour, Chris Spedding the band, inter alia, on the HQ album; and J Page, P McCartney, Keith Emerson, John Renbourn, Ian Anderson elsewhere in the catalogue, and of course did I mention Kate Bush?

 If I'd complemented my vinyl with the CD version I'd have uploaded it already, gonna have to wright (sic) that wrong. (These songs are definitely wrought rather than cast). Someone beat me to it, I dare ya. Must Flaidh

Love this album. "There's No Way Out Of Here" is a well-remembered part of my childhood. Good times!

OK, I give up, what's an encouter?
 "Imagine your girlfriend visits you for a first encouter, and you let this sound play!"
Does it involve vivisection, or lip suction, or.......well I dunno

it's on a "Buy List" somewhere, I bet. 8 for me !

If only this dull number did what it says on the tin. Floyd were an excellent example of the whole being far greater than the sum of its parts, as the individual members, although ok as musicians, were often just plain dull or, in the case of Waters, hideously self-indulgent.

I've never heard this before!  *hangs head in shame*  I really like it, though - David Gilmour's music has a way of sneaking up on me and surprising me with genuine delight.

How could she be your girlfriend already if it's your first encounter?  Did you order her in the mail?

So, you only stayed with the guy because you liked his taste in music?  He had no other redeeming qualities then?

I'd be willing to bet that your imaginary girlfriend runs from you regardless of what's on.

This is the best Solo David Gilmour album!

wow. i had a cassette tape of this in high school. i just hasd a serious flasback to backpacking with buddies and rockin this on my Walkman (that's what we used to call iPods a long long time ago)

Kind of a Keith Richards vibe on some of the guitar bits... and a Beatles thing at the end...

nice guitar, nice feel.  very PF-ish.

I agree with BigIslandBlues on letting the girl go.  If you are going to play music that you really like for a girl, and she runs away because she doesn't like it, then the bitch ain't worth it.  She would have to be incredibly shallow to so object to one song so much that she leaves.  Not the kind of girl I'd miss.

Also, if two music lovers are going to have a relationship, then musical tastes need to be at least somewhat similar.  If you love a girl, and you love music, then listening to music with your girl will make everything so much better.  If you are just looking to get laid, play Coldplay.  She'll either put out or think you are gay.

Besides, judging someone by their musical tastes is about as stupid is thinking someone is an idiot because they can't use spell check...

encouter = encounter I assume.

I've heard this, tho it has been awhile; why, until now, did I think it came from a Floyd album???? I know, because it sounds like Floyd, but also because I could swear I heard this on a Floyd album??? Like a Division Bell, or?

 
sisters?

nothing in this whatsoever. muzak for stoners, like the rest of the Voids output.

This is an awesome track from a great album.
My boyfriend played this for me and his musical taste was the only thing that kept me sticking around.

It sounds like Pink Floyd because David Gilmore was part of the band.
 

Stingray...isn't that a flat headed bottom feeding fish?
