No, not yet

one of the editions is supposed to have "3D audio" which seems reaaaaaallllly cool, just judging by the one sample I heard

"With its dramatically orchestrated peaks and valleys, it's an album designed to be listened to, to Take You Somewhere as you lay on your bedroom floor, to conjure futuristic images in the mind's eye of folks who were once teenage fans. In that sense, it's still not quite as successful as the Orb's classic material, and a little too subdued, lacking both the goofy sampleadelic grandeur and the ear-grabbing pop pulse of the Ultraworld era. But it's still the most focused and listenable Orb album in years."

Great album. Shame about the guitar. Bizarrely mixed, however. Seems like each track (there are only 2) has 3 or more songs / ideas that feel separate from each other. It makes them sound unfinished when they're just smashed in the way they are. I still like it a bunch but it definitely doesn't need the guitar (the FFWD album is miles better) but it's pretty good.

Surely thats the whole point of having David Gilmour collaborate on the album

Seeing as how i've never willingly listened to Pink Floyd, I don't see the point of David Gilmore. All he added was the guitar and the album would be just as good without the guitar.
