I thought it sounded a lot like Gotye.Was that Everything But The Girl?
That note progression is supposed to have been taken from a set of notes played on French railway stations. Thank heavens he was in France and not in Sydney. I'm sure any Sydney members will agree with me - those notes they play before CityRail station announcements are the most banal melody imaginable.

The title track, 'Rattle That Lock', will be heard for the first time in the UK on BBC Radio 2's Chris Evans Show, hosted by Sara Cox, on Friday, July 17th and will be available immediately to download and stream worldwide. The song begins with the four notes, created by Michaël Boumendil, which precede announcements at French SNCF railway stations which David recorded on his phone at Aix-en-Provence station. Polly's lyrics were inspired by Book II of John Milton's Paradise Lost, which is also featured in her recent acclaimed novel, The Kindness. The single also features The Liberty Choir, as well as singers Mica Paris and Louise Marshall.
The Rattle That Lock album will be available in a CD edition with clothbound, foil-blocked cover, including a 22-page booklet, but also on heavyweight vinyl, digital download and a deluxe box edition, which includes 4 Barn Jam films, 4 non-album audio tracks, 4 documentaries, and 2 promo clips. Available in CD+DVD or CD+Blu-ray versions, the deluxe edition also includes 2 hardback books, a double-sided poster, a postcard in a dedicated envelope and a David Gilmour plectrum.
Pre-ordering for all editions will be available around the world at various times tomorrow, July 17th.

I wonder if M'sieur Boumendil has released any solo stuff?
Anyone find any ticket prices for tomorrow's sale?

I was wondering the same thing...The ticketmaster page doesn't exit from the link from his website..I'm worried that ticketbastard is gonna play games and bend us all over
I've no doubt that this will be quite expensive.
Really wish he wasn't so stingy with the cities that he's visiting.

"Henry Cow always wanted to push itself, so sometimes we would write music that we couldn't actually play – I found that very encouraging." - Lindsay Cooper, 1998
"I have nothing to do with Endless River. Phew! This is not rocket science people, get a grip." - Roger Waters, 2014
"I'm a collector. And I've always just seemed to collect personalities." - David Bowie, 1973
Boy...Dave seems downright animated and happy!
I noticed he is not using a pick on the old Telecaster. I think Jeff Beck has been influential for that choice because he is David's favorite guitarist.
OK, that's better. And I don't mind the 80s smooth pop thing as long as it's well done and as long as there's a HEALTHY AMOUNT of Gilmour Guitar God-ness.
I'll withhold any more critiquing until I've heard more.
But how about some west coast dates, Dave?
I'm holding out for the Wilson-mixed 5.1 super-duper walletbuster special anniversary extra adjectives edition.
He's playing at The Hollywood Bowl March 24,2016.
Similar to the sort of song you might hear on a latter-day Donald Fagen album.
There are only 3 US dates so far,and may be no more. New York,Chicago,Los Angeles.
I have never been there and I can't think of a better reason to go.
There's going to be an EP released also, with David and guest stars Donald Fagen on keys and backing vocals, Sting on bass and vocals, Rod Stewart on any girl in the studio, and Ringo Starr on drums.

It's more upbeat than anything on the last one. Sort of has a Talking Heads meets Steely vibe. Definitely different for Dave, in a way.
sounds like this track could've found its place on About Face 30 yearsc ago
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
Kinda cool that you get a free copy of the CD with buying my tickets...Wish me Luck...
Free? Not so sure about that...Kinda cool that you get a free copy of the CD with buying my tickets...Wish me Luck...
