Columbia Records releases Metallic Spheres CD by The Orb featuring David Gilmour.
The Orb, the visionary UK ‘ambient/house’ collective, came to
collaborate with David Gilmour after working together on a version of

Glover), a frequent Orb accomplice, was invited to create a remix, and

they continued working until it was an album-length entity. Having asked
Gilmour to bring his guitars to Youth’s studio in South London to
prolong and enrich their new creation, the trio worked up a sonic
mixture in a range of styles. Thus, the Metallic Spheres project was
born.
