Metallic Spheres

"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.

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.

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...

I have 1 album by UK. I seldom play it though. I don't remember what happened to UK I can't go through my collection now, it's all boxed up ready for a move.


I think Asia was big at being a slick pop band

I found some of their stuff last night...

Was surprised as I assumed Bill Bruford was their sole drummer but then there were a few clips with Terry Bozzio (I didn't realize what a baby he was at the time).

Interesting to watch those two... Bruford with his fluid style, almost looked like he wasn't moving in parts and Bozzio looking more like Moonie with the crazed, all over the place thing going on.

I never did find the song I was looking for but ended up watching some very old Crimson stuff I had never seen (God John Wetton just had such a fantastic voice. How underrated was he?) so it's all good.

He was with Wishbone Ash for their "Number the Brave" album
