New: The Orb featuring David Gilmour
The album is Metallic Spheres, I thought you all who are Electronica/New Age fans or a Gilmour fan, such as I, might be interested in this project. This is not my core genre nor am I that familiar with The Orb so I reserve giving too much of a critique. Gilmour's guitar contribution was finely woven into the soundscape, I was hoping for maybe a couple out front hot runs but it just didn't happen. You can hear Gilmour's guitar when it's there and it is an attribute to the project but it never took prominence any where. At the first of the album I could detect some Floyd like familiar licks and later on an acoustic guitar sounded a bit like coming through a transistor radio for a moment then sounding normal as on the Wishing You Were Here album but other than that I didn't pick up on any other Floyd simularities. If you are a headphone listener I highly recommend this album for you. Even through speakers the surround effect was quite good for 2-channel. This is the kind of stuff that would be cool with a tasty 5.1 mix.
If this is your type of music I also recommend Fever Ray.
