The lineup is impressive:
Robby Krieger ( The Doors) - Guitar
Chris Poland (Megadeath / OHM) - Guitar
Chris Lietz - Mellotron
Jurgen Engler - Moog
Robert Pagliari - Bass
David Eagle - Drums
Gilli Smyth - Space Whisper
Nik Turner - Sax & Band Leader

Based on this tune it goes on my buy list

I'll certainly pick it up, but expectations will be low (and ready for a surprise).

I was talking with Nik a couple of weeks ago at the Seaprog festival and he also mentioned that Billy Cobham is on the album.

Engler has well known collaborations with krautrockers, but Chris Poland seems to be the lynchpin here (from last.fm:

Ohm: is a Chris Poland (a former member of Megadeth who has also worked with Lamb Of God) experimental jazz fusion project formed by Robertino Pagliari and himself. The band was formed in 2002 and has released 3 LPs and a live album up to date. It should be noted however, that ohm is incorrectly tagged on last.fm… the true title of Ohm: includes a colon, according to Chris Poland this is due to their constantly changing drummers. The most common line-up includes Kofi Baker on drums. The live set is often punctuated with a 5-10 minute drum solo during which the rest of the band leaves the stage.
