There are some lovely moments on Floyd guitarist Dave Gilmour's new solo album, On An Island.

But ultimately it's the sound of Dave's comfy and hermetically sealed world.

Gilmour has announced that the Floyd will probably never play or record together again, turning one of the most important rock bands history into a living museum piece - exactly the reason why we need The Australian Pink Floyd more than ever.

Halfway through a month and a half long arena tour, the Aussies put the "Ooh" into Dark Side Of The Moon. Now almost 20 years old, the band has created it's own legend, touring the world time and again.

The timing on the intro to Run Like Hell was as perfect as the atmosphere on Wish You Were Here, a highlight of the more than two-hour-long set.

The second half of the show was the kind of "best of" performance we can only dream the real Floyd would perform, ranging from Syd Barrett-era Astronomy Domine, through a passionate Great Gig In The Sky and an eerie Comfortably Numb.

The highlight of the show was the appearance of the inflatable pink kangaroo - a homage to the Floyd's blow up pigs from the Animals tour - and proof that the playfulness of the Floyd lives on in its doppelganger.
