Metallic Spheres bits'n'bobs
Interesting update to the Metallic Spheres website: http://metallicspheres.com/lasers.htm ...especially for our US west Coast members on 12th October... ...and some details/pics of the Ibiza gig too... http://ibiza-blog.com/2010/09/26/the-orb-metallic-spheres-album-launch-in-ib... cheers theORBscureDDJ +play+enjoy+float+dream+ http://theorbscureddj.blogspot.com
So I pre-ordered the album and downloaded the free track... I'm a bit wary of this whole release now. Its definitely very Floyd-ish, but I can't hear a whole lot of the Orb in there.... Anyone else give it a listen? And unrelated, are any of you out there on iTunes Ping? I'm the only Rachel Roth out there so far, so I should be easy to find... rach On Sep 28, 2010, at 4:21 PM, theORBscureDDJ wrote:

I ordered the 2xCD & vinyl but i haven't recieved any links. Was yours an iTunes exclusive? I *do* wonder if the expectations are so high on this that it'll fall flat. Secondly, it was odd that it was Youth & Gilmour first, then morphed into Orb & Gilmour. Maybe LX was a latecomer, making his footprint smaller on this. I'm lukewarm so far but I really haven't heard enough. That ambient edit on the site sounded pretty good to me though.
When I pre-ordered the CD from the metallic spheres site, the confirmation screen had a link to download the track. http://www.sonymusicdigital.com/metallic-spheres/features/5604038 On Sep 29, 2010, at 11:00 AM, Bytesizenun wrote:

Thanks for the reminder Rachel. Just did my pre-order and did the download, though I just hate downloads. I want everything on vinyl.

Did you notice that vinyl tracklisting is very interesting: Tracklisting: LP 1 - Metallic Side A: Metallic Spheres Hymns to the Sun Side B: Black Graham Hiding in Plain View Classified LP 2 - Spheres Side A: Es Vedra Hymns to the Sun (Reprise) Olympic Chicago Dub Side B: Bold Knife Trophy Looks that last track is quite long... -- The Orb News ::: http://orb-news.blogspot.com
