Info for Metallic Spheres In Colour
David Gilmour and electronic group the Orb have announced Metallic Spheres in Colour, a remixed and reimagined version of their 2010 collaborative album.
“The idea for Metallic Spheres in Colour, was that Alex Paterson [founder of the Orb] could have done more on the first version, and he didn’t really have the opportunity because we had a philosophy of making the music like the Blade Runner soundtrack meets Wish You Were Here,” explained Youth, the project’s producer, in a press release. “So, I asked him, Why don’t we remix it and make it like an Orb classic? And in doing that, it’s almost like a completely different album.”
The original album came about when Gilmour recorded the Graham Nash track Chicago/Change The World, originally by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, in aid of the British hacker Gary McKinnon, who was facing extradition to the USA. The Orb, who were also supporters of McKinnon, remixed the track and asked if Gilmour would contribute further guitar parts at Youth’s studio, The Dreaming Cave, in south London.
"We spent a day with David at the studio with his guitar, and he just plugged in and started playing and it became this 25-minute track," Youth told Prog Magazine back in 2010. "After Dave left, I thought ‘There’s so many twists and turns in this jam, we could stretch it out, put a few things in and turn it into a 50-minute album”, so that’s what I did!”
