The Orb......Metallic Spheres

This recording may not appeal to a lot of you, but if you want to listen to something that will strut your systems stuff, listen to this. The sound stage is very wide and deep and there is some very low bass in it that will make your speakers dig deep. It sounds a lot like early Pink Floyd with a lot of sounds and just people noodling with their instruments, in fact, David Gilmour joined The Orb for this recording. It’s a great way to spend 49 minutes.

Thanks, this is interesting. Plenty of bass for sure. Wish my main system did depth better but I think room issues (symmetry problems due to open doorways on one side) are the main cause. I've given up obsessing about it and just enjoy what I have. Since I've had Tidal I love using their 'Explore' option and listening to artists I've never heard of, Charles Lloyd as an example. I very much disagree with those who say no good music is being made these days.

The Orb is cool, but probably not for the masses.  I have a few of their recordings and just picked up a few of their CD's on my last trip to the record store.  It's been a while since I listened to this one.

I’m about 3 minutes into Metallic Spheres. I will definitely be listening to it in it’s entirety. Very cool!
