gilmour is basically a really good blues guitarist.
i have long had a weak spot for echoes.
but my favorite pink floyd bits are on ummagumma---while i like the gilmour track there (the narrow way, i think...), but the best are the rick wright tracks (cant remember the titles).
listening to them makes you wonder why he chose cruise control for so much of the floyd's ride. i mean i see that there is a charm to not working terribly hard and getting very very rich--but if you can play like **that* then why would you?
wandering away from the topic i know, but there we are.
