Yeah that was my impression too. For something billed as "David Gilmour with the Orb", or whatever way they put it, I didn't see him establishing himself as a force within the music, stamping his own identity on it. I'm not saying it could have been any guitarist --- Gilmour has of course his own unique and inimitable style --- but as you say, not the creamfest you would expect, and usually get, with anything that has his name attached. Quite tame, in the end.
I'm not sure about delving into the Orb, at the moment thanks, though their music is interesting; I've just so much else to get through, I wouldn't want you to go making a comp that would then sit on my hard drive for months/years without getting listened to: would seem ungrateful. And yet at the same time I wouldn't want to feel under an obligation to listen to it either, as that might dull the music experience I could have otherwise.
Thanks for the offer though, and always good to see you posting in here!
