Where We Start is the fifteenth studio album by Progressive rock band Pink Floyd. Released on 21 September 1999, it was the band's first record since The Division Bell (1994), marking it the second longest gap between studio albums of Pink Floyd's career at the time. The band originally intended to release the songs as a EP, but later combined the material in early 1999. Pink Floyd began work on the album in 1997 with the recently returned Roger Waters, but shelved most of the material from those sessions. From January 1998 to July 1999, the band collaborated with former band member Syd Barret, who produced and co-wrote many of the new songs. Writing and recording took place at Abby Road Studios. Also in the United States, Ireland and France. The group intended to release Where We Start in November 1998, after composing 20 to 30 songs, they postponed the release because they wanted to continue writing. Prior to release, Pink Floyd indicated that Barrett's involvement, as well as the band's time in Los Angelas, had resulted in a more experimental record than their previous two albums, the band compared the shift in style to that seen between The Dark Side of the Moon (1973) and The Wall (1979). Upon its release, Where We Start received generally favourable reviews, although many critics noted that it was not as experimental as previously suggested. The album was not as commercially successful as anticipated, and the band expressed enjoyment over the relatively high sales of twelve million copies when compared to the other recent albums.
