The Orb

Brought to you by Café MAMBO & Burn Studios:

The exclusive European Album Launch of Metallic Spheres by THE ORB featuring David Gilmour took place Friday September 24 at Café MAMBO, Ibiza.

Metallic Spheres is due for release October 11, THE ORB's Alex Paterson said "It's a collision that's been waiting to happen with Pink Floyd / David Gilmour and THE ORB, orbiting many of the same planets"

There were only three album launches: Ibiza, New York and Los Angeles. Featuring a live set by THE ORB performing Metallic Spheres, followed by legendary Alex Paterson DJ set, this exclusive Ibiza album launch was a spectacular night of sonic frontiers.

The visionary UK 'ambient/house' collective THE ORB, came to collaborate with David Gilmour after working together on a version of Graham Nash's "Chicago" for a charity project. Youth (aka Martin Glover), a frequent ORB accomplice, was invited to create a remix, and he and Alex Paterson, as THE ORB, were so energised by the task that they continued working until it was an album-length entity. Having asked Gilmour to bring his guitars to Youth's studio in South London to prolong and enrich their new creation, the trio worked up a sonic mixture in a range of styles. Thus, the Metallic Spheres project was born.
