I so dig this album...:.D It caught me off guard initially; it was so different from the previous 2 albums (Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld and U.F. Orb (w00t!!!)). But the more I listened to it, the more I became entranced by the textures and patterns of the music. I personally think Valley-Plateau-Oxbow Lakes is the greatest 28 minutes of Orb ever recorded together! That my story...what's yours? |

i havnt heard anything by the orb... |
||||||||
|

|
i stand corrected on my previous orb comment, but they're not too popular here and man did cydonia suck. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What previous comments were those? Yeah, Cydonia was a bad direction and seemed quite devoid of ideas...some good songs, but otherwise pointless noodling... Dr. Alex and company did regain my faith with the Death of Elphame EP though, so I'm happy...:.) |

I've that CD, but I think it was very disappointing... reading your message I think it's time give it another chance |

Ah...Orbvs Terrarvm! A true masterpiece. As a lot of you already know, I am a massive ORB fan, and this is my 2nd favourite Orb release. It even took ME a while to warm up to it. I've come to fully appreciate its complexity and sophistication, not to mention the trip-out factor! "...I am leaving for Constantinople tonight..." |

oh man, that album is totally amazing.. so many layers it starts to become something physical rather than sonic. "We won't have any lettuces left for when Tim comes home" -- |

Slugs! That track used to haunt my stoned day-dreams. Shit i haven't listened to that LP in 5 years. There was alot to thi salbum that took a while to sink in. It is definately not their most digestable piece. |

*Raises hands to the sky* Thank you. Nice to see some people haven't forgotten classic albums... "...and now folks for an old familiar favorite...we've had many requests for this...it's a simple sentimental song...and I'm sure it's something you will all enjoy...ready fellas; let's begin..." |

I used to scare my neighbors with the shuttle launch sounds from Ultraworld. In fact, my dorm sounded like a launch site with the volume way up. Heheh the astronaut was saying something like, "I have a beautiful view of earth here..It's absolutely fantastic" Beep! -P |

|
|
Oh yeah and "SRB separation in 10 seconds" Beep! Way cool. |

i grew up on that album, i like to sleep to it |
||||||||
|

The Daleth of Elphane EP is a monster. nothing beats Adventures beyond the Ultraworld. FFwD with Fripp and Felhman is a great bedtime album. i saw them once in Sheffield for a Miners benefit, they where on before Primal Scream and blew everyone away, the sound of a helicopter landing and taking off in the middle of the arena was just too real, amazin. and i dare anyone to stand in front of a speaker stack while towers of dub is playing live, orgasmic. Orb b in u, Orb b out u, Orb b all around u. |

Is that Ffwdd a compilation? I have one; one disk mixed by Dr Alex and one by Darren Emerson. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, it sounds like you've got the Mixmag compilation, does it have mixmaster morris on the second half of the Alex Patterson cd? starts with Wagner? |
||||||||

I haven't got anything yet from the Orb, but I was thinking of getting this one first. Should I? Is it really that good? |

Start with The Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld. Every track is great. There's weird stuff going on and then there's the more commercial stuff like Little Fluffy Clouds and Perpetual Dawn. -P |

Agreed...Start at the beginning and work your way up. Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld: Make sure you get the 2 CD album; that's the full, orginal version. U.F. Orb: There's a 2 CD version; one disc has the full album, the other disc has remixes of Blue Room (including the original 40 MINUTE VERSION) as well as Assassin (The Oasis of Rhythms). Highly Recommended!!! Skip over Pomme Fritz... Orbus Terrarum, then Orblivion Plus the Auntie Aubrey's Excursions Beyond the Call of Duty Volumes 1 & 2 (Both are 2 CD sets of Orb remixes of other songs) If you can find the Aubrey Mixes: The Ultraworld Excursions album...GET IT! They are terrific remixes of ABTU tunes. There's a lot of other EPs and remixes out there as well... Hope this helps and happy hunting! :.) *thumbs up* |

little fluffy clouds is cute but the rest of the orbs work does not strike me in any way |
||||||||
|

I actually bought the Ultraworld Excursions before the original. Then when I got the original, it all made sense. Hei neetta. Missä päin Suomea Nurmijärvi on? -P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah!...Ultraworld Excursion is great...has the Cumulonimbus mix of "Little Fluffy Clouds", which is the best in my ears. Plus a cool "Perpetual Dawn" remix and two floor-stomping versions of "Spanish Castles in Space". Brill! :.D |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Toejam! I recommend one to begin with Orb Live '93 (my fave, btw) |
