A new Pink Floyd album, entitled 'The Endless River', is due for release in October 2014. As revealed by Polly Samson the partner of David Gilmour on Twitter, it is based around the sessions for The Division Bell, which saw David, Richard and Nick returning to their method of improvisational composition which created masterpieces like Echoes and Shine On You Crazy Diamond. The album, which is predominantly instrumental, was produced by David, with Phil Manzanera, Youth and recording engineer Andy Jackson, building on the 1993 sessions produced by Bob Ezrin and David. Richard Wright features strongly throughout, and, as such, the recordings can be considered his swansong. He is still sorely missed by fans and the remaining band members.
