A return to the Orb's skeletal groove-riding over a lazy 4/4 beat with guitar and lap steel from David Gilmour, Pink Floyd's master of the soundscape.

4 stars out of 5 -- "The Orb know the strength in their guitarist, creating sympathetic Floydian landscapes of collaged voices, breathing, etc in which to embed him.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "The music blurs boundaries and shapes, focusing on textures rather than repeated motifs. Gilmour's sparse guitar lines float most subtly above the beats...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "A finely textured affair -- Gilmour's tasteful guitar flurries and odd vocal snatches animating Paterson's dreamscapes."
