Not a must have and certainly not combining the brilliance of the Orb and Floyd in a way that 1 + 1 = 2. As always The Orb are interesting but there are 4-5 albums I would have before this one.

Okay please tell me someone else noticed the sampling of "Klingklang" by Kraftwerk in the second half of Metallic Side.

Amazing record it took a few plays but once I got into it it just got better and better. And being a long time fan of both The Orb and Pink Floyd I was worried that the sum of the two parts wouldn't be equal to them separately but I needn't have worried as this album is wonderful.
