The Floyd's upcoming 15th album, "The Endless River" is expected to be released this October, and here are some things about this new collection of tunes you might want to know about.

 

1) 'Endless River' grew out of unreleased recordings from 20 years ago.

 

2) The album will include some of Rick Wright's final recordings.

 

3) Secret sessions were, at first, mistaken for a Gilmour solo album.

 

4) This album's title harkens back to an earlier Pink Floyd moment. (Hint: "High Hopes").

 

5) Though instrumental in its infancy, the project will have vocals.

 

6) Gilmour's 'Endless River' co-producers have deep Floyd connections.

 

7) It's unclear whether there will be a tour behind 'The Endless River'.

 

8) Pink Floyd already previewed some of these ambient sounds ("Soundscape" a piece that was played before the 1994 concerts):

 

9) 20 years is a long time between between albums, but not the longest. (Think The Who & The Eagles).

 

10) Roger Waters is not returning to Pink Floyd (did I really need to add this one?).
