The album will be based on work done in 1994 sessions for the band's last studio album "The Division Bell", and is a separate release to the 20th anniversary box set that went on sale on 30 June. Plans for "The Endless River" were revealed on Twitter by Polly Samson, partner of Pink Floyd's David Gilmour. Samson, an author and lyricist whose Twitter profile now includes a credit for "The Endless River" alongside "The Division Bell" and Gilmour's solo album "On an Island", wrote: "Btw Pink Floyd album out in October is called 'The Endless River'. Based on 1994 sessions is Rick Wright's swansong and very beautiful." The news was confirmed on Facebook by the singer Durga McBroom-Hudson, who performed with the band throughout the 1980s and 90s. She shared a picture from the recording sessions and wrote: "The recording did start during The Division Bell sessions (and yes, it was the side project originally titled 'The Big Spliff' that Nick Mason spoke about). Which is why there are Richard Wright tracks on it. But David and Nick have gone in and done a lot more since then. "It was originally to be a completely instrumental recording, but I came in last December and sang on a few tracks. David then expanded on my backing vocals and has done a lead on at least one of them." - See more at: www.independent.ie/entertainment/music/music-news/pink-floyd-to-release-new-album-the-endless-river-with-all-unreleased-material-30411215.html#sthash.RTXVc0tz.dpuf

i'll have to check it out.
I'll never forget four of us guys skipping school one day and driving 50 miles into the next state to take advantage of a vastly better beer selection. 'Wish You Were Here' had just been released and we listened to it most of the way there on my friend Steve's brand-new car stereo in his brand-new Subaru. during the drive several things were being passed about and shared in the car, so when we got there everybody was too toasted to go into the store LOL

For those who have heard Australian Pink Floyd, you know it's a good way to forget about the Waters / Gilmour animosity and simply groove out on some good old PF tunes. Roger Waters= Prima Donna IMHO www.aussiefloyd.com/
