Nine years after his last solo album, David Gilmour is preparing to release Luck And Strange.

He tells us about his upcoming CD and how he’s already planning a follow-up, and we asked 30 of his peers, collaborators, fellow musicians, and fans in the prog world to vote on their favorite David Gilmour performance.
