Dave Gilmour's official online blog has issued a convoluted statement about the role the Pink Floyd guitarist played on the Orb's upcoming album Metallic Spheres in which the writer concluded '(David) was working on an album with The Orb. Sort of.' The blog posting followed months of online rumours about the Pink Floyd/ Orb collaboration which appeared validated on Dave Gilmour's main site this week when a picture of the album's artwork appeared bearing the artist name 'The Orb featuring David Gilmour'. However, Gilmour's semi-official blogger insisted it isn't quite so. "David is not working with The Orb on a new album, contrary to some reports," the blog posting declared. "But you may remember that he had been in the studio jamming with Martin "Youth" Glover in recent months, who was at the time working on an ambient mix of the 'Chicago' re-recording . . . Alex Paterson was not involved in the sole jamming session and the only plan initially was for David to play guitar on that one track – 'Chicago'. However, as it turns out and as you can see, the result of that jam session has now been spread across the next Orb album, Metallic Spheres, which will be released as 'The Orb featuring David Gilmour'," he added.
