The Orb recording with David Gilmour

Posted October 2, 2009 by Floydian Slip

The List reports electronica duo The Orb is recording with Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour.

“I’ve just started work on an album with David Gilmore (sic) from Pink Floyd, which I think every Orb and Pink Floyd fan will want to hear,” Orb founder Alex Paterson told the Scottish magazine.

The band’s first album, “Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld” (1991), featured the Battersea Power station on its cover, reminiscent of Floyd’s “Animals” (1977).
