David Gilmour - About Face (2006 Remaster) (1984 - Rock) [Flac 24-96]



There are some musical creations that are astoundingly forgotten. David Gilmour’s 1984 solo album,
About Face, is one of these.
This is sad considering it just might be one of the better albums produced in the 1980s.
Of course, it is impossible to discuss this album without touching on the era in which it was put together,
as About Face was forged in the fire of Pink Floyd’s darkest hour.
The band’s internal tensions had reached all-time highs and Gilmour was feuding internally with Roger Waters,
after the latter accused the former of not contributing enough to the band.
This was sadly ironic for Gilmour because he had complied (and even agreed) with Waters when he decided to
kick Richard Wright out of Pink Floyd prior to the release of The Wall in 1979, for basically the same reason.
So, in a true bout of rock and roll rebellion, Gilmour went off and created a solo album which served to prove
Waters wrong by establishing that he could create music on his own and channel his anger about the situation
at the same time.
The result is nothing short of superb.
