The Orb‘s “Metallic Spheres” album, to be released this fall, will feature guitar work by Pink Floyd‘s David Gilmour.
Gilmour’s contributions come from a jam session with Martin “Youth” Glover (Killing Joke), originally intended only for an ambient remix of “Chicago,” the Graham Nash song Gilmour helped re-record to benefit alleged UK computer hacker and cause celebre Gary McKinnon.
“Metallic Spheres” will be released in October, with all artist royalties going to benefit McKinnon’s plight to fight extradition to the United States.
There will be two versions of the CD release: A standard, single-disc version; and a two-disc deluxe set. The deluxe version will include the standard CD, along with a second disc presenting the material in 3D60™ sound.
3D60™ is a new sound production process developed by Glover, sound engineer Mike Brady (The Jam) and Ian Thompson that simulates three-dimensional sound without any special equipment needed.
The album will also be available on vinyl and as a download on iTunes.
