Metallic Spheres
The Orb featuring David Gilmour.
I am a fan of David Gilmour / Pink Floyd and think some of The Orb's stuff is interesting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHeD9vbbin0 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Fluffy_Clouds I have other "electronica" (Klaus Schulze, Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis...) http://www.klaus-schulze.com/disco/welcome.htm http://www.jeanmicheljarre.com/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2E62iJh7pI I really like David Gilmour's solo stuff. I got the 5 disc version of Live at Gdansk so I could get the 5.1 surround sound version of "On an Island".  I didn't have any expectations of Metallic Spheres. I haven't sat down and really really listened to it. I have it playing in the headphones while I'm at work and when I am at home surfing the net. It's peripheral. Even so... I just can't get into it. I tried but the 2nd track (Spheres side) bothers me so much that I have to stop playing it.  This CD may appeal to The Orb fans much more than the David Gilmour Pink Floyd fans.

d a m n completest collector
http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=SICP-20268
"Collaboration album release from The Orb and David Gilmour consisting of "Metallic Side" and "Spheres Side." Includes a bonus disc featuring an alternative mix of the album in the new "3D60" process, which creates a 360-degree sound experience when heard on headphones, using stereo tracks without the need for any special audio equipment. Japan edition features the high-fidelity Blu-spec CD format" being a completest I had to buy the special 2 disc version of Metallic Spheres. - The idea of 3d60 sound was intriguing. if I had known any better, I would have bought up all the quad releases of the 70s. Sure some of them were terrible but not all ~ the novelty of it all. With all the technology we have now you would think that holophonic sound or "Q sound" would be the norm instead of the exception but... I was disappointed even more in the 3D60 release because it cost more. I didn't hear anything in 3D that could make up for the terrible content on this album (Special edition) or otherwise. Irradiated poop is still poop

I've decided the only way I can handle more then like one minute of it is to watch David.
Even then after a couple of minutes I've had enough. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=den8ofw1qFg

nice footage but having that pumped directly into your head as they make it swirl around...  I can listen to Fripp and Eno's No Pussyfooting but Metallic Sphere makes me anxious and nauseous

I remember Eno scored a movie a year or 2 ago but where is Rober Fripp these days?
Did you ever hear of the band UK? They were sometime in between King Crimson and God was Asia the name? I think that was it. I heard something by them once that was phenomenal... I'll have to google and try to find it. Have no idea if they were big or what back then...
