David Gilmour- Rattle That Lock (2015)
“It's a very tempting
thing to try and relive your glory days when you get a little older and you
worry that people have forgotten all about you.”

Gilmour's new record Rattle that Lock has a beautiful opener called 5am,
whether with Pink Floyd or solo, Gilmour is an I credible musicians who really
knows about engaging intros, and it works great for me, as I wake up daily at
that time and the song perfectly capture the moment, its simply perfect, Rattle
that Lock is not exactly perfect as a whole, but is a great Gilmour record, one
that will please Floyd fans with ease with its perfectly crafted melodies,
proving again that Gilmour is a master at it.
The title track is mysterious and elegant, a perfect frame for Gilmour voice and guitar lines, and precisely Gilmour blues based guitar lines remind me of Stevie Ray Vaughn outstanding guitar work with David Bowie, Vaughn was obviously a blues player out of tune with Bowie new wave band, but Bowie knew exactly what he wanted to hear, and it was something like this of course.
Gilmour flies really high on Faces of Stone, a tune that undoubtedly sounds like Pink Floyd, and that's because Gilmour is a big part of the Floyd, and here Gilmour embraces the fact unashamed, his voice sounds epic and his guitar pierces the night like switchblade knife, he soars at moments and defies gravity and then he flies low like an eagle searching for his pray, Gilmour's guitar is impossible to get confused with someone's else, his a true master in the art of making the guitar see gently and he does it here with ease and complete mastery.
Now I'm not completely excited about A Boat Lies Waiting, it has a timeless melancholic feel, yes, but is a mere small element compared to the powerful vocals conjugated here, the tune could been a better a cappella tune or could have benefited with a better piano line, but the waltzy Dancing Right in Front of Me featuring heavy guitar lines is more lucky as it pisses an awesome cadence perfectly crafted by Gilmour, and featuring an irresistible cadence on the piano, it's quite perfect, is pure nostalgia and is pure warmth for the heart.
You can hear Gilmour really going all the way on his guitar during the solo in The track called In Any Tongue, his voice perfectly capturing and liberating emotions in an universally way, is immediate, Gilmour bares his soul and one can help but enjoying such an intimate metaphysical moment, and the climax, What a climax!
But Rattle that Lock is not all about Gilmour walking in familiar grounds, it is also about some new territories to explore, as things get a little bit shaky on the upbeat Today, a moving tune with string arrangements and Gilmour pushing hard on his vocal range at times with some thrilling results.
What works best is Gilmour deliberately letting it go, without being afraid of recalling us of his famous band, he simply does what he knows to do better than no one else, yes, its Pink Floyd, but that's because this is pure David Gilmour.
