Anyone know of a release date? Looked on the Orb website
but seems to be a bit vague on info...

hmm...after the letdown of cydonia, I hope they have
something interesting this time around.

They lost in years ago. They were so great in early -mid
nineties and the last few record they have done have been
utter toss (in my humble opinion)

Have been listening to the remixes today though - two double
albums worth. Excellent stuff.

I am with you, tokyojo. I used to adore them so much, back
in the day... lately they've just been a total
disappointment... maybe they will redeem themselves

Both Orblivion and Orbus Terrarum were excellent albums,
despite being later releases. Cydonia was kind of a pooper
- maybe if they include "orb" somewhere in the title of the
album, it will turn out fine

Orblivion is possibly my favourite Orb release, mainly
because of Molten Love which is one of the most stunning
pieces of music they've produced.

ultraworld still 'does it' for me. all time classic (cause i
say so).

adam freeland/tsunami one version of lfc deserves a mention,
if not a listen. and andrea parker's version also.

The land of green ginger track was on the Back to Mine
record... not that great a track really - hope the rest of
record is better, but I am even less optimistic based on
that land of green ginger tune.

BTW found a copy of the Aubrey remixes of ultraworld last
week for 2USD. I have it already on vinyl but bought it
anyway. What a great record that is...

Their track on the 'Pop Ambient 2003' compilation is
amazing. Hopefully this is more of the same.

Don't get me wrong, Ultraworld and U.F.Orb are absolute
classic. I think the Orb was a huge influence in my future
listening endevours.

i think that uforb was pretty dull and now sounds dated.
all of their albums are spotty, but for me the highlights
are pomme fritz, orbus terrarum and orblivion. cydonia was
the nadir, and the reason i won't buy any more orb without
hearing it first. still, i'm hopeful for a return to form.

It's all about the 'Oxbow Lakes' single. What a fine song,
and do those remixes rule!
