‘On an Island’

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: COMPETITION WINNER ANNOUNCED (04/08/06)
The winner is… Martin D. Well done, Martin! Please let us know where we should send your prize.
The second track from David’s ‘On an Island’ album, and the second such competition.
The rules are still simple. All you need to do is list five words that you think of when you listen to the title-track (which, incidentally, came out on top in our Favourite track from ‘On an Island’ poll, just ahead of ‘Take a Breath’).
No sentences, just words and no more than five of them. For example, you might list something like harmony, nightfall, memories, sand and sea.
The last time, the prize went to the first person – and only the first person – to suggest the very word that I was thinking of. This time, the prize will go to the one person whose name is selected at random from a list, raffle-style.
If anyone guesses any of my five words, they will be entered into the draw with a number based on the order in which that word was received (all posts, as you know, are time-stamped).
If someone guesses more than one of my five words, then they will be entered into the draw more than once/given more than one number, thereby giving them a greater chance of winning.
The competition will run until midnight tonight (UK time). No further entries will be allowed after this time, so please don’t bother trying. A list of names will by then have been compiled and a random person will select the winning number tomorrow, when I will announce the winner and you can all return to being calm, sane, perhaps even dull individuals in anticipation of news from Venice.
Good luck.
Our new poll asks how you rate DavidGilmour.com (as a complete site, including this blog), so please let us know. You responses in no way influence the outcome of the competition, though, so you can be completely honest. We can take it.
hey kids
I am guessing the poll is to see if the site needs improvements or changes. Here’s my 2 cents worth. Unless I am blind as a bat ( or just a dumbass ), there is no link back to the main site from the blog posts page. Even as I write this, I feel FED frowning and i m surely awaiting a snappy comeback
btw.. this is a very cozy website. I came to know about it rather late, but it seriously makes me feel that I am part of the floyd family in some way.
[No frowning from me, I promise. Feedback is always very useful, but I don't know what the other people who are involved in the site will have to say when they see our latest poll, so please speak your mind (and we won't tell them if you think the site's rubbish). There is a link to davidgilmour.com. The banner at the top serves as one. - Features Editor]

DG Website:
The website as a whole is really well done. Usually I can’t stand sites that have music on by default on the homepage, but because it’s David’s music (and because it’s very ambient and instrumental) it enhances the experience rather than detracting from it. I also love the movement in the wireman which really helps to bring the front page alive.
Rather than blub on about the good bits, there are only a couple of things that I think could be improved upon – and this might be more useful to you than just the positive.
The main issue is the site navigation. The vast majority is perfect, but there are one or two ‘dead ends’ for navigation in there – where the user is taken into a subsection without an obvious means to return to the top level. I think the S&N section is one of these, although it might be that this is because it is spawned in its own new window (likewise the gallery). There may well be excellent reasons for it being this way currently, in which case just make the ‘David Gilmour’ logo linked to the DG.com top page. IMHO these sections (S&N, Gallery) could be integrated into the DG.com site a little better so that they feel a bit more integrated (with navigation in and out more seamless and with less windows).
Also, I’d love to see the Gallery format changed so that each of Polly’s photographs are opened within the page itself, rather than new windows – with forward and back buttons to facilitate navigation.
The site is wonderful though and I’m just nit-picking because improvement/criticism is always a good thing (and you asked for it!). The real positives are the breadth and depth of information, as well as the ‘life’ that can be felt within it (sound, motion)…I just think that a little navigational tweaking could tighten it up a touch.
I’m an HCI (Human Computer Interaction) person, so this is what I do (usability, interface evaluations etc). The bottom line from me is that it’s 99% great already

My only comment on the site would be that some of the parts do seem to be a bit disparate… the gallery section doesn’t really fit in in layout terms compared to the main site, same with this blog actually. The colours and images are all fairly consistent but the layout changes around too much in different sections (which may lead to the small issues with navigation…I like my navigation constant on every page).
Having said all that I do think the overall artistic style is lovely.

5 Words describing “On An Island”
Serene,Tranquil,Comfortable,Sorrow,Satisfied
My comments about the website: From a content perspective, I don’t think the site could be better. I believe the website is made great by the commitment of the Features Editor to make it interactive and a “portal” of sorts for all things David Gilmour the Solo Artist related. I think from a content point of view, the sitemaster has done a great job striking the very delicate balance between David Gilmour the Solo Artist content and Pink Floyd-related content.
With respect to the Blogs, I do think there are some basic technological enhancements that could be made that are pretty much standard in a lot of Blog Management Systems such as digests, or the ability for a user to receive a daily or weekly digest of all blog activity via e-mail. I also personally like those blog environments that are much more hospitable to mobile devices.
The site layout is simple and clean, but some of the link names like “The Important Stuff” are counterintuitive and can confuse the user. I think a big step forward happened with the changing of the Blog link to “The Blog”.
My least favorite thing on the whole site in my humble opinion is the use of the text area on the front page showing the latest news and the use of some sort of Javascript technique to turn the scrolling mechanism into an image. On mac browsers, when you mousedown on an image, the dialogue that most PC users see when they right click on an image pops up – it is an annoying and experience.
One more point is I think the Blogs should be part of the David Gilmour website interface. Opening to a new window with a different top navigation yields confusion and more clicking.
Nickster, while I am not an expert on the subject, I have read Krug’s “Don’t Make Me Think” many times as well as Cooper’s “About Fac 2.0 The Essentials of Interaction Design”. Any comments about those publications or recommendations for others for an aspiring Interface Developer?
“this poor italian lad trying to find some english word he doesn’t have in his vocabulary”
No dice, Pier. Judging by your Firenze review, your English is better than anyone else’s on this site.
Heres my 5!

Rememberance
As for website content here goes nothing. I am a huge DG fan, therefore having an official website is a treat. I thoroughly enjoy the news and the gallery as well as the press section.
Now, regarding this ‘ere blog, with all due respect to Fed and my fellow posters, I feel has managed to stray away from its original purpose. More and more the blog seems to be about getting Fed’s attention, or being part of the Fed’s crew. What I am trying to get at is, this website is about David Gilmour and his music. Not about sucking up to the editor(s).
I understand the need for a moderator on the boards, I appreciate the hard work put into it, and I see why he would choose to conceal his identity. Sadly I think this just managed to turn into the Fed blog, with everyone just looking for sympathy or attention as I mentioned above.
Adding to the above I would also like to say that it would be great to see David being involved in the website at least once in a while. I know he is a busy person and all. But at least to me (and trust me I am a huge fan) it seems like he doesnt care much about us his fans. I stood outside Massey Hall in Toronto for hours on end, 2 days in a row in freezing cold weather. Both days I and many others saw David get there, and leave. I understand he cant stop and sign stuff, or shake hands, or go out to dinner with us but not even a glance or a wave?
I certainly think this blog would be a nice, safe way of interacting with us which he hasnt cared much about. I am not saying he should live and die for his fans no, but some nice appreciation this way would be kind and I guess many of you will agree.
On the other hand, theres Guy Pratt who is simply the most down to earth amicable person out there breaking the barriers of rockstardom. Live he is amazing and his taking time to get involved here and going out drinking with fans makes him a life lesson to everyone in entertainment.
I’ve felt like this for some time now and I hope it’s not taken to offence but rather as constructive criticism. Still Im pretty sure I’m going to get bashed so fire away
. (ANd I sure do hope I got one of the words and am still in for the draw!)
[Not at all, mate. Thanks for that. You do have one of my words, by the way. - Features Editor]
Five words that come to my mind are:
surreal
unison
romance
light-heartedness
timeless
As for the site this is well managed and very well constructed. I think you have done a fabulous thing by bringing us closer to the man who inspires us, and by doing that you make our lives a better place. Through this site I feel as though I can visualize the other concerts and BBC shows I do not have access to see. You do a tremendous job and you get an “Excellent” from me and Mr. Burns!!!
Are you having, a, nice time (GOOD TIME)!!! What is that line from? Anyone?

So now in total futility are my 5 :

Ciao Paul,
something about your post. Someone here would say that we are of the same breed…..
1) “What I am trying to get at is, this website is about David Gilmour and his music. Not about sucking up to the editor(s)”.
Could be. So the best is to address people with names as I am doing to you, tell stories, get a face through your words. does calling you by name takes you in? ;-)
2)”But at least to me (and trust me I am a huge fan) it seems like he doesnt care much about us his fans”.
If as Oscar Wilde said “art’s for art sake”, we should not care about the man that produces art but only on the piece of art itself. Do you think you could have a great conversation with Van “the madman” Gogh? Do we judge the Monna Lisa on Leonardo’s personality?. Nowadays we want myths. But DG is a man with all is good part and bad part.
A suggestion? Do like I try to do. Don’t expect anything from the man. I mean, I think that (have I already told before?) I would kick Roger Waters in the teeth if I would be drinking a beer with him, but this doesn’t change my opinion on his music with PF (GREAT). about david gilmour………..think other bloggers can tell
Ciao.
my five words are: divine, soft, harmonies, breeze and cool.
fair play to you for allowing us to have our say on the site, ed. my only comment is that some pages don’t take you back to the main page, as has already been said.
i especially love some of the backgrounds, like the ‘faqs’ and ‘live dates’ page.

I think this site is brilliant and you F*Ed are certainly one of it’s selling points. You keep things crisp, clear and fair for all. My only suggestion would be a feature that would notify fellow posters that a new entry has been posted. This way we wouldn’t have to keep “checking in” to see any new additions. Timing is everything in this world ( well, that and cold beer ) so if critical info is being posted someone might miss it without that notification. Aside from that I love it here, on an island of friends passionate about David and his music…
[Thanks for that, Matt. That would be useful (as would numbering the posts), but wouldn't you find yourself swamped with e-mails at busy times? Or did you mean that the blog itself should highlight where there has been recent activity, as forums do frequently, instead of receiving e-mail notification? - Features Editor]
Flying Pig -
Two seminal books on HCI that are definitely worth a read are “The Lunatics Are Running The Asylum” by Alan Gibson, which gives a great overview/rationale for solid HCI, and “The Design of Everyday Things” by Don Norman. Both are excellent/quintessential reading for an overview of the area.
As for application specific HCI stuff, I’m a massive fan of heuristics. Check out both Nielsen and Schneidermann’s heuristic sets – imho using heuristics is the easiest and most effective way to apply HCI principles, and also a great way to start to ‘look’ at development from an HCI perspective.

Dude, do I hate getting dozens of notification e-mails or what? It would be good if all the blog entries could show the number of unread comments since your last visit. I’ve never seen this on a blog, though. It’s more a forum kinda thing.
I can’t win an argument, but I’ll have a go with: relaxing, mellow, waves, stars and glow.

Great site BTW =)
About the Blog. Glad to see the gremlins are gone.
I think the Fed does a nice job screening the posts. I would hate to come here and read a bunch of crap comments about David and his band. “We don’t need no bad vibrations”. Even though we sometimes disagree, things never get out of hand. Good editing or good boys and girls? Maybe there’s not much negative stuff posted.
It’s nice to be able to come here and read about each person’s experience at the show. I think only a true fan could relate the sights, sounds and feelings of the show in such an expressive way. Taking the time and effort to do it shows a true appreciation for David and the rest of us
I would like to see an easier way to navigate through the photo gallery.(Back and forth arrows)
Oh yea, here in the states we need Fed to work the hoot owl shift so our blogs get posted sooner. Just kidding Fed.
I guess I just like the web site cause I keep coming back.

Opinion on the site:
Overall, I like the site very well. I don’t think anyone would argue that the Blog is more or less the cornerstone of activity. Some other areas seem to get dusty, like the gallery, when updates are few and far between.
The layout is nice, and easy for me to navigate. One thing that would be welcome is some kind of notification that things have been added, for example, to the Press page. It would be helpful for those 5 or 10 minute windows every so often that some of us have that we can drop by and see what’s new without searching the entire site.
The Blog is the best part, because it has the most interaction. F.Ed does an excellent job of moderating. (risking being accused of ‘sucking up to the editor[s]‘ here, but it’s worth it). The Blog has turned into an online community of fans, which has grown and evolved in the last 9-10 months.
The primary reason, in my opinion, for this positive growth has been due in no small part to the F.Ed’s balancing act of letting people express themselves and their opinions against letting tantrum-throwing tyrants muscle their way around. (That’s not too much *ss kissing, is it?)
The interaction between Bloggers and F.Ed makes the site more personable and friendly. It has also led to some action for some fans that was above and beyond the call of duty to right some wrongs. (which goes to show how much David cares about his fans)
Finally, it would be nice to see something from David on occasion. Nothing elaborate, just a statement here or there, for example. That would make the site more authentic. Without it, the site feels more like a third party fan site to some degree.
(One other thing, would it be possible to try some different color contrasts for the Blog? the light gray writing on the white background strains the eyes after awhile.)
There is my input, thanks for letting me offer it.
Great day all,
Mike

“How to find inner peace”
“The way to find inner peace is to finish all the things you have started.” So I looked around the house to see all the things I started and hadn’t finished
….and before leaving the house this morning I finished a bottle of red wine, a bottle of white wine, the Bailey’s, Kahlua and Crown Royal, the Prozac, some valium, some cheescake and a box of chocolates.
You have no idea how freakin good I feel….

Ciao Piergiorgio,
I too am an artist, a musician to be more precise. I too have my good side and my bad side. My passion for DG’s and PF’s music, as for music in general is in no way affected by its creators behaviour, gender, sexual orientation, smell, clothing, receeding hairline or thickening waist. What I tried to say was said best by Albert Schweitzer:
“To educate yourself for the feeling of gratitude means to take nothing for granted, but to always seek out and value the kind that will stand behind the action. Nothing that is done for you is a matter of course. Everything originates in a will for the good, which is directed at you. Train yourself never to put off the word or action for the expression of gratitude.”
The above, I believe, could, and probablly should work both ways.
Ciao!

Oh, I think I know what one of the words is…
Is it “flowing?”
And by the way, numbering the entries would be very helpful but sending emails everytime the blog is updated sounds like a rather tedious job… Then again, if the blog itself highlights recent activity, we would still have to check frequently to see if there are any new highlights… We don’t mind though, do we?

I would like to make one comment about the web site. You have made it a place where we can come to as fans and feel as if we are a part of David and Polly’s life. You give us all the details of concerts, Great pictures from David’s wife(Polly), A place where we can write in and get replies from Fed. Plus much more. I really enjoy David’s web site. Please just keep it open for us fans who love to read how things are going on.
Thomas
[Thank you so much for that, Thomas. It's much appreciated. - Features Editor]
My five words are night, warmth, romance, classic, dreamy.
On a side note, “Three men and a boat” was repeated last night on BBC2 and included, I am told, a visit to David’s boat on the Thames – I am kicking myself for missing it (again).

as for this site, i love coming to the site everyday however my only complaint is with certain contests in the past were you could only win if you posted on a consistent basis, my argument with that is that just because somebody dont post consistantly, doesnt mean they dont come to the site everyday….. other than that i love this site
Well, Darn it.
I got home a little after 4pm my time, read the blog, and realized I was too late to enter. Oh well. At least the polls stay up for three days (thanks FEd).
Pier, thanks for the review of yesterday’s show! I’m sorry you didn’t see anyone at The William, but I was having a beer here in sunny California thinking of you, knowing what fun you were having.
Again, in the words of Homer Simpson, “Stupid Generator. . .”
I`ve put my vote in on the latest poll and said this site is excellent, even if my idea for Davids best guitar solo was pinched!!!
Sorry, Features Ed, you know my Thursday night for me is spent in the pub with my Dad, Gordon, and I do feel brave when I`ve had a pint, but I am only teasing!
All the best.
Adrian.
P.S. I can`t belive I missed the competition!

Hello Fed, I have said this at least five times, this is the best website I have ever followed. It’s just like the music, flowing, truthful, family, friends, artistic (there are my five words).
I am not really a computer kind of guy, but this is without a doubt very user friendly site, hey it probably could be improved but why bother, OAI Tour could be improved too, I mean the band could come to Waterloo Ontario and do a show in my back yard. I wouldn’t change a thing. Later.
George
Grace, Peace of mind, Slide, Love, Complicity…
Sorry, some words are translated from french, so, it may have not the exact same sense as in my language. But in my mind, all these words are positives words.
