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.

The new “Floydian Slip” stickers are in.
They’re free for the asking. Just send us a SASE and we’ll stick a handful in the mail to you.
For the uninitiated, a SASE is a “self-addressed stamped envelope.” You put your own address on an empty envelope, stick enough postage on it to allow us to mail it back to you with some stickers in it, and then mail it to us using another envelope.
A standard #10 business-size envelope will do, along with a single First Class stamp.
Here’s where to send to:
350 Woodbine Rd.
Shelburne VT 05482-6777

Want to play drums like Nick Mason? Sorry, we can’t help you.
But a new sample library from the Pink Floyd drummer can at least help you sound like him.
Mason’s created a sample library of his custom Ludwig “Black Kit” that promises to deliver a virtual recreation of the kit to be played with any MIDI keyboard or e-drum setup.
The sample library comes in FXPansion’s BFD2 format and includes mic channels that can be mixed for what’s being described by publisher Sonic Reality as “full album quality, vintage ’70s drums.”
The recording sessions for the samples were produced by Alan Parsons (“The Dark Side of the Moon”) using the same EMI mixing console Floyd did in the ’70s.
You can buy Nick Mason Drums online for $69/£43.
