David Gilmour's self-titled solo debut steps out from the Pink Floyd shadow with a relaxed, guitar-rich record, and this remastered CD edition, an English import, presents his 1978 album with fresh clarity.

Recorded in France during a pause in Pink Floyd's schedule, the album finds Gilmour working with a small, tight band of old friends, bassist Rick Wills and drummer Willie Wilson. Free from the conceptual weight of the Floyd records, he simply plays: long, singing solos, loose grooves and songs that feel built from jams rather than grand designs. The mood is unhurried and warm, with the bluesy fluidity that made his guitar tone instantly recognisable.

"Mihalis" opens with an instrumental showcase, all sustain and liquid bends, that lets the guitar do the talking. "There's No Way Out of Here," written by Ken Baker of the band Unicorn, is the album's emotional anchor, a brooding, harmonica-laced lament with a gorgeous chorus. "So Far Away" slows into a reflective ballad, while "Short and Sweet," co-written with Roy Harper, rides a choppy, tightly coiled riff.

The remaster gives the playing room to breathe, from the rhythm section's easy swing to the shimmer of the lead lines.

Floyd fans will hear the roots of later classics here, along with a rare glimpse of Gilmour at his most informal.
