The LP, entitled 'Metallic Spheres', will be released on October 4 in the UK.

The collaborative album came together after the two acts worked together on a version of Graham Nash’s 'Chicago' with producer Youth for a charity project.

'Metallic Spheres' is designed to be listened to in two parts: ‘Metallic Side’ and ‘Spheres Side’. It will be available on CD, 2 CD, digital-download and Double LP.

The album features artwork by The Orb's long-time visuals designer Simon Ghahary.
