Anybody else picked up this CD. Well this CD would probably be the next best thing to a Pink Floyd reunion. It has that old mellow Pink Floyd sound from the 70s. he album is mainly instrumental. I would recommend to any Pink Floyd fan.

Not yet, but I am reading his issue of Guitar World cover to cover.

I wish he was touring Seattle or Portland on his US leg.. but I'm out of luck :roll:

for those of you who want to try before buying, aol.com is running a free webcast for the entire album.

I listened to it and I didn't like it very much. I think he tries to be to "out there" However, when he picks up his guitar for the solos, they still floor me like no other.

I've given it a listen or two and don't care much for it. His guitar work is great, but the songs themselves just aren't my cup of tea.
