Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour is said to be working on a new recording project.
The news was seemingly leaked by Graham Nash (Crosby Stills Nash, The Hollies) on an appearance on vintage.tv’s “Needle Time” program last week.
Nash mentioned to host Neil McCormick that he and David Crosby were “taking the train to Brighton to go and sing with David Gilmour on his new record.”
Nash and Crosby provided some backing vocals on Gilmour’s previous studio album, “On an Island” (2006).
“Floydian Slip” turned to long-time Floyd sound engineer Andy Jackson who would certainly be working on such a project, if it was underway, for comment. He would neither confirm nor deny the project, but added, “Things are afoot, and more than you might expect.”
Gilmour’s former bandmate, Roger Waters, recently off his three-year world tour of “The Wall,” told Rolling Stone recently he’s completed a 55-minute demo of a new solo album.

Acoustic Sounds Inc. will reissue Roger Waters’s 1992 album “Amused to Death” on LP and Super Audio CD (SACD) this fall.
James Guthrie, who mixed the original album, will use the original analog tapes to master the album for SACD. Doug Sax, who mastered the original, will join him in prepping the LP.
“Amused To Death” was originally mixed using QSound, a virtual surround sound, to enhance the spatial feel of the album’s music and sound effects. The reissue will preserve QSound’s three-dimensional experience.
The LP will be pressed onto a 200-gram vinyl double disc. The SACD will be a stereo hybrid, meaning it can be played on a standard CD player, albeit without the added benefits of the SACD technology.
Acoustic Sounds has set an Oct. 15 release date, but emphasizes the date is tentative.
The LP will be priced at $49.98. The SACD at $30.
