How phenomenal! What was initially only going to be a guest spot on a couple tracks turned into being on the whole of the album. You better believe I'll be picking this up -- both on CD and vinyl.

The YouTube video is great as well, as it gives you a taste of what kind of music David has been working on with them and also you can see him relaxed and having fun while playing.

Great news! Thanks for posting! Must pick this up... :-)

I love to see David playing what he wants to play and with whomever he wants to play it with...

He has the freedom and talent to branch out in any direction. Honestly, he could play the ukulele in a hawaiian band and I'd buy it!

Please, David could release an album of him doing nothing but reading the menu from a Chinese restaurant, and I'd buy it. I just love his voice -- he has such a warm tone. Of course, seeing as this is an ambient album, I don't know if there will be any vocals (probably not) but like that'll stop me from buying it. LOL

Back to the hippie roots and jam sessions. I liked what I heard in that snippet you posted Lady Floyd. I will definately buy it.

I'm just excited he's making music. Maybe this means a solo album won't be too far away. I hope.

Gilmour doing an Ambient album?

My dreams have come true.

Sweet news! I will have to check this out.

I am really excited to hear this. David Gilmour/Pink Floyd and ambient music aren't exactly two things you think go together, but this could turn out to sound just ace. I'm sure David wouldn't commit to doing something or even have his name put on the cover if it wasn't up to his standards.


Come on October 12th...........

There's the first EPK for the album.....looks very, very interesting.

Edit: Here's the updated information about the release, straight from David's website

Quote:Sony Music have now confirmed the release date of the Metallic Spheres album as 12th October in North America (11th October in the UK). The first EPK of the album, directed by filmmaker Gavin Elder, has now been made available -- please click here. It features Orb members Martin 'Youth' Glover and Alex Paterson, plus footage of David contributing electric guitar and lap steel guitar during the album sessions at Youth's studio.

It's just great to see David in the studio making new music. We all win when that happens!
