Typical "Orb" fare, but pretty much enjoyable with the addition's of Mr Gilmour 8)
RIP Edgar. I am going to miss you.

I've given this a few spins now. I had very high expectations for this, and was underwhelmed on first listening. It's really grown now though - definitely more Orb than Gilmour, but his signature is definitely there.

Anyone else find it hard to get past the Hillage guitar sounds with the Orb?

Also, I keep hearing melodic references to Dire Straits in part one...

have the same feeling. Of course Gilmour is there. that is obvious. But indeed it is more Orb than Gilmour, where I hoped to be the other way round.
Shame. But maybe it has to grow indeed, so will play it some more the next weeks.

I ordered just Meddle, DSOTM & Animals remastered and look forward to see what kind of job has been done. Hopefully they'll be done well.
