I finally listened to David Gilmour's collaboration with The Orb, 'Metallic Spheres in Colour,' the recently released remixed and amended version of their 2010 album, ‘Metallic Spheres.’ Not being too deeply into electronic music or especially knowledgeable about it, I never did bother ever checking out the original 2010 release. No matter, I do enjoy this. The blend of Gilmour's timeless guitar work - indeed, he is in absolute fine form - and the electronic beats is seamless. While not catering to typical Pink Floyd fans who only care about the old radio hits - no ‘rawk n roll’ on this record, folks - it echoes 1970s German 'Krautrock,' which is another positive in its favour. Suitable for meditation or background listening, I will likely buy a physical copy sooner or later, and it is worth exploring on the streaming platforms for the more musically adventurous among thee.
