“The Endless River” has as its starting point the music that came from the 1993 “The Division Bell” sessions, when David Gilmour, Rick Wright and Nick Mason played freely together at Britannia Row and Astoria studios. This was the first time they had done so since the “Wish You Were Here” sessions in the seventies. Those sessions resulted in “The Division Bell”, the band’s last studio album.
In 2013 David Gilmour and Nick Mason revisited the music from those sessions and decided that the tracks should be made available as part of the Pink Floyd repertoire. It would be the last time the three of them would be heard together. The band have spent the last year recording and upgrading the music,using the advantages of modern studio technology to create “The Endless River”.
“The Endless River” is a tribute to Rick Wright, whose keyboards are at the heart of the Pink Floyd sound. It is a mainly instrumental album with one song, “Louder Than Words”, (with new lyrics by Polly Samson), arranged across four sides and produced by David Gilmour, Phil Manzanera, Youth and Andy Jackson.
“The Endless River” will be released on November 10th 2014. The album is available to pre-order on CD, double vinyl and as a deluxe set on iTunes and Amazon.
