Pink Floyd fans that appreciate the more subtle guitar elements David Gilmour added to Pink Floyd songs between his soaring solos will not be surprised of his interest in the Orb, a band known for producing ambient music.  Metal Spheres, the group's album scheduled for release Oct. 4, includes a lot of guitar work from Gilmour.  The guitar parts, which include both electric guitar and lap steel, were actually recorded while Gilmour jammed with the Orb's producer. The band later mixed the guitar parts into the work it was doing for the album.
