U.F. Orb

I love this album...it's energetic yet maintains a musical
ambience throughout. "Blue Room" and "Towers of Dub" are
gifts to the very concept of music itself. A classic
record.

I can sleep to it, too.

-_-

*bump*

Agreed. Thought the Orb was going slowly out of sight with
Cydonia, but "Death of Elphame" relieved my feas, and "Bless
You" is quite chunky and funky....

;)

Im listening to this now, blue room still sounds fantastic
after all this time, all 17 min and 37 seconds of it .

the absurdly long 39m 58s version deserves a mention too.
now (almost) guarenteed its place in history as the longest
single ever due to new rules and guidelines regarding track
numbers and lengths on singles

Well it depends. 'Oxbow Lakes' was my favorite song off the
album, and the remixes are quite good.

Sabres of Paradise are on there, plus a cool string
arrangement. Definitely a worthwhile purchase.

"Towers of Dub" still kicks my ass to this very day! I
haven't listened to the Orb in so long! I am glad this
thread was bumped!

orbvs terrarvm goes on as an album should. they have a
couple like that, that work clear through. there's one
track orbvs there that takes a riff from miles and tweeks it
a little. pleasant repetitive discords.

does anyone know what album the rework of 3am eternal comes
off?
that track is as classic as the original.

xian: Are you talking about the Orb's remix? That's on the
_UK_ version of Auntie Aubrey's Excursions Beyond the Call
of Duty Part 2 (CD1, Track 1)...

Funk: Start at the first two albums, "The Orb's Adventures
Beyond the Ultraworld" and "U.F. Orb". They're pretty much
the spacy, ambient-house masterpieces that launched a 1000
imitators. "Orbus Terrarum" and "Orblivion" are more
textured in sound and "down-to-earth", but a very nice
direction change for the group. "Live 93" is a nice
pick-up, too.

Just be warned. This is "Orb" ambience, not "Eno" or
"Aphex" ambience.

revpersona: Oxbow Lakes EP is nice, but I rate the Blue Room
EP (with the full version Blue Room and Assassin (the oasis
of rhythms mix), then their first Peel Session higher. :)
