Falar de ídolos é muito prazeroso, mas nem sempre uma tarefa das mais fáceis. Não se trata de um "disco solo", mas sim uma "extensão" do próprio Pink Floyd naquele difícil começo dos anos 80's - para o Rock progressista. Difícil porque o Pink Floyd tinha dado um tempo, Roger Waters, como sempre, afundado no seu egocentrismo e a batalha judicial, de ambos, para se apossarem da "marca" Pink Floyd e a mídia havia se voltado para fórmulas mais fáceis e descartáveis, ou seja, fabricando o sucesso. Mas (ainda) havia a música. "About Face" tem tudo da banda original de David e se esse album não havia a presença de Roger Waters, Rick Wright e Nick Mason, havia um timaço que deu conta do recado: Steve Winwood (Traffic), Jon Lord (Deep Purple), Bob Ezrin (megaprodutor), Jeff Porcaro (Toto) e sem falar na colaboração de Pete Townshend (The Who), na composição de algumas músicas. Precisa de mais? (EA)
David Gilmour released his second solo venture in 1984, following the apparent dissolution of Pink Floyd. He had released a record on his own in 1978, but About Face is much more accessible. Gilmour has a stellar band backing him, including Jeff Porcaro (drums), Pino Palladino (bass), and Anne Dudley (synthesizer). The songs on About Face show a pop sensibility that Pink Floyd rarely was concerned with achieving. Although the album didn't attract the attention of a Floyd release, several cuts did manage to get airplay. "Until We Sleep" is rife with shimmering synthesizers and cavernous drums, and "Blue Light" was a minor pop hit, with Gilmour's trademark delay-drenched guitar giving way to a driving, horn-laced rocker. Pete Townshend wrote two of the tracks: "Love on the Air" and the propulsive "All Lovers Are Deranged." Of course, there's more than enough of Gilmour's fluid guitar playing to satisfy, including the gorgeous "Murder," a gentle acoustic track that explodes with some fiery organ by Steve Winwood and concludes with a fierce coda. About Face is well-honed rock album that is riveting from beginning to end.(Tom Demalon/Allmusic)
