The record was produced by David and Charlie Andrew, best known for his work with ALT-J and Marika Hackman, with lyrics mostly written by Polly Samson, Gilmour’s co-writer for the past thirty years. The album features eight new tracks along with a beautiful reworking of The Montgolfier Brothers’ ‘ Between Two Points’, which sees Romany Gilmour, who performs backing vocals across the album, on vocals and harp. Musicians contributing to the record include Guy Pratt & Tom Herbert on bass, Adam Betts, Steve Gadd and Steve DiStanislao on drums, Rob Gentry & Roger Eno on keyboards and the string and choral arrangements are by Will Gardner. The title track also features the late Pink Floyd keyboard player Richard Wright, recorded in 2007 during a ‘Barn Jam’ at David’s house. The album’s cover image, photographed and designed by renowned artist Anton Corbijn, is inspired by lyrics written by Charlie Gilmour for the album’s final song ‘ Scattered ’. 1 x CD - album +2 bonus tracks; Softpak and booklet with photography and design by Anton Corbijn Review: Best David Gilmour album yet. - I honestly can't say enough good stuff about the album. I'll get the tiny negatives out of the way first. 1) There are a couple of tracks where David's vocals are a bit scratchy, as if the gain was turned up too loud during recording. 2) On the track "The Piper's Call", David hits the upper end of his vocal range, and it doesn't sound very good. 3) The key changes in a couple of the songs are rather abrupt, and disrupt the flow of the songs. Having said those, this album is still top-notch. David's daughter Romany performs brilliantly on "Between Two Points", and her voice it like Dido's but more crisp, less breathy and with a British accent (which I like). That track is my favorite on the album, and the lyrics are like Pink Floyd's, so this track is wonderful. I hope to hear more from her in the future, both with David and on her own. My second favorite track is the 14-minute acoustic track "Luck and Strange (Original Barn Jam)". Slow jazz / blues at its best, and the short form title track is good, too. "Yes, I Have Ghosts" is also wonderful. The melancholy it generates is one of the things I look for in music in general (I grew up in the latter years of Pink Floyd, and it made me feel not so alone at the time). It's beautiful, quiet, and shows David's lower vocal range, mixed just right. And Romany is singing on this track, too, which is wonderful. "Dark And Velvet Nights" is a callback to "This Heaven" from his album "On An Island". It evokes bar-hopping and walking the "meat markets", looking for strange (see the album title). "Sings" is another well-done melancholy song, evoking old age and years past. "Scattered" starts abrupt key changes at 2:38 to 3:16, evoking things falling apart. It breaks the flow of the song, but eventually gets back on track. The first track "Black Cat" perfectly sets the tone for the album, and it sounds like it picked up from where Pink Floyd's "The Endless River" left off - but it's only 1:30 long. "A Single Spark" is the main song where the vocal gain seems too high, and it sounds like David's voice ends in hissing at times. This song is probably the emotion high point of the album, the least melancholy. "The Piper's Call" is probably the weakest track on the album, but it's not bad by any stretch. It sets up an island-sounding music, but the key switching is a little awkward at points. The drums become much louder in the middle of the song, which is a little overbearing and makes the song less relaxing. David pushes his upper range a bit, and this is the other track where the vocal mixing sounds like it has a bit too much gain. It feels like the song cuts off rather abruptly, too. Having said all that, I want more like this. A lot more like this. I could listen to the Barn Jam track on repeat and not get tired of it. This is why I listen to Pink Floyd, and why I listen to David Gilmour...and hopefully will be listening to Romany Gilmour CDs eventually. Review: David & his daughter Romany have crushed it with this album! - Once again David absolutely knocks it out of the park! His daughter Romany has a beautiful voice accompanied by his amazing guitar and her harp it dishes up some beautifully angelic music to my ears. It seems that Mr. Gilmour only gets better and better each & every album. I really hope, for all of humanity, that he does a 60-120 day residency at the Sphere! He has the excellence that he no longer needs (and hasn't needed to for a very long time) tour. He has the massive fan base that adores him and we will travel wherever we need to to hear him & enjoy his music. He can plant himself in 1 spot and the fans will flock to him and there's no better place here in the states for that than The Sphere! In the meantime I will continue to enjoy his music on vinyl & CD; just like I have done since I was a boy during the 70s/80s and every decade up to today! ## Images ![Luck and Strange - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81d+DvqlVHL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best David Gilmour album yet. *by K***S on September 30, 2024* I honestly can't say enough good stuff about the album.

I really love his other solo works but this is a spectacular effort. I particularly liked the track 'Between Two Points' with Romany Gilmour providing the vocals. David's guitar is brilliant throughout and his vocals have an almost haunting tone all through the recording. David is my favorite guitarist so I had really anticipated the album, but the over all quality completely blew me away. The years have somewhat changed David's voice but it's not a negative thing because his voice is ideal for the material presented here. The inclusion of family members doesn't always go well sometimes in other projects but here it is a big plus, everyone should be proud of this disc. This album should definitely be considered for album of the year. The instrumentation, vocals, lyrics and overall performance is near perfection. Love it David!
