Posted March 10, 2020 by Floydian Slip

A instrumental David Gilmour played on without credit for a 1995 film soundtrack will receive its first release on Record Store Day, April 18.

“Grand Central Station” from the film “Hackers” was originally credited to Deep Cover, but not included on any of the three soundtracks that’ve been released for the film.

Gilmour recorded his contribution during a visit to bassist and Floyd collaborator Guy Pratt during the time Pratt was working on the soundtrack with director Ian Softley.

The new double-LP will also include the previously unreleased “One Combination” by Pratt.
