The Orb are a successful and influential UK ambient/house collective, built around Alex Paterson, with a flexible line-up of collaborators that frequently includes producer/multi-instrumentalist Youth, aka Martin Glover, well-known for his production and work with Killing Joke and Paul McCartney as The Fireman. David Gilmour is the legendary singer, guitarist and songwriter with Pink Floyd. The original Metallic Spheres album was released in 2010. This extraordinary release combined The Orb's signature atmospheric soundscapes with Gilmour's evocative guitar work, resulting in a transcendental sonic journey that pushed the boundaries of both electronic and rock music. The team have reworked this into an entirely new cosmic voyage titled Metallic Spheres In Colour. As with the original Metallic Spheres album, Metallic Spheres In Colour is designed to be heard in two parts: the first part the “Seamless Solar Spheres Of Affection Mix” and the second part is the “Seamlessly Martian Spheres Of Affection Mix”.
