On an Island is the third solo studio album by Pink Floyd member David Gilmour. It was released in the UK on 6 March 2006, Gilmour`s 60th birthday, and in the United States the following day. It was his first solo album in 22 years since About Face in 1984 and 12 years since Pink Floyd`s 1994 album The Division Bell.

History
The album features Robert Wyatt, Jools Holland, Georgie Fame, David Crosby, Graham Nash, Pink Floyd keyboardist Richard Wright, early Pink Floyd member Bob Klose and Pink Floyd session and touring musician Guy Pratt. Chris Thomas and Roxy Music`s Phil Manzanera assisted with production. Engineering duties were undertaken by long-time collaborator Andy Jackson. The lyrics were principally written by Gilmour`s wife, writer Polly Samson.

Recording
Much of the album was recorded in Gilmour`s private studio aboard his houseboat Astoria. The track `Smile` was heard briefly in an unmastered form on the BBC2 show Three Men in a Boat which retraced a trip on the River Thames that passed the houseboat. Other sections were recorded at David`s farm in Sussex and Mark Knopfler`s British Grove Studios.

Orchestrations on the album were arranged by noted Polish film composer Zbigniew Preisner and conducted by Robert Ziegler. The orchestra was recorded at Abbey Road Studios by Simon Rhodes.[7]

Singles
The album also featured two singles; the title track `On an Island` and `Smile,` the latter peaking at #72 on the UK Singles Chart.[8] `On an Island` also peaked at #27 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.[9]

Promo Single edits of `Take a Breath` and `This Heaven` were issued to coincide with the U.S. leg of the tour, while `Smile` was the second single in the UK.
