I have that blue room 39 minute one track cd single and that's kinda cool as well, but ultraworld IS my fave... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
well, Orbus Terrarum is down at the second hand store, so I could get that one for cheaper then the others... but I have read it's probably not the best place to start... what does everyone think? |

ultraworld IS the best place to start, but if it's cheap, go for it! |

i'm not the best resource, since i consider "u.f.orb" (nearly universally hailed as a classic) their worst record. but since you asked... orbus terrarum has a lot of variety, with a deep, booming, expensive sound, a mix of dub and intensely fractured and deep fried slow motion syncopated house, with nary a dance beat remaining. unique and classic. difficult to start with only since it is so developed and detailed (don't judge on the first listen!), in contrast to ultraworld which is much more basic and airier. orblivion is half great, a mix of less dubby classic electronic sounds with contemporary styles but remaining signature orb without sounding like pastiche. the failed tracks are cheesy upbeat singles fodder (toxygene) or pointless synth excursions (most of the last half of the album). worth it for the 30 odd minutes of greatness. adventures beyond the ultraworld was released in two formats: a single disc, which contains the catchy and melodic single mixes with some of the better tracks from the original two disc release. the original two disc release lacks these concise singles and instead features lengthy dub influenced versions, many of which i find less than engaging. i recommend the single disc version, if you can find it. not sure which was released in canada. purists will likely insist on the two disc version. since someone mentioned pomme fritz, consider this one also. pomme fritz is actually a lengthy single, but was marketed as a "little album" since it's 45 minutes long. it is analogous to an experience with a psychedelic drug. it starts out warm and melodious, with a syncopated rhythm and sinewy guitar line, then breaks down into a science fiction nightmare where very little makes sense and the music disappears into a swirling mass of voices and noise. eventually, the noise dissipates into a steady rhythm, which grows into a huge mist of synthesizers and melody called "everything is beautiful" (the title is actually in german, btw) capped with a short stroll thro |

through an odd carnival atmosphere. unique and an essential companion to orbus terrarum. the extended freakout in the middle turns a lot of people off. recognize, also, that pomme fritz presents two tracks with two straightforward (for the orb) mixes and three very strange and trippy remixes, plus the short carnival track at the end. not really an album at all. |

I bought Orbus Terrarum... it's nice, I like it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nice reviews :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, I would think Orbus is a good album, especially for us "IDM"-heads... Good one, Funk. :) |

That's the only Orb I have and I love it. It's so proggy. |

there won't be any lettuces left for when tim comes home :( |

"But did the slugs mind? *eh-heh* No. Not one. They just laughed more then ever in their slimy way:" *heh-heh-heh....heh-heh-heh-heh...heh-heh-huhuhhuh* "And then they ate up all the peas, and then they turned back and went on eating all of the lettuces." ;) |

hey, I have slug dub playing now!! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this is so sweet though... it's exactly what I've been craving... I bought FSOL's Lifeforms the other day, and it's nice, but this is exactly what I wanted... big huge songs with great synth parts, and nice chilled beats... yummy stuff!! |

I personally enjoy U.F. Orb - the beginning track is enough to put your mind over the edge. Orbus Terrarum is completely otherworldly - IMO, you can't go wrong unless you purchase Cydonia. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
If you're looking for 74 minutes of pure, dubbed, spaced-out, ambient bliss, then "U.F. Orb" is that place you want to be... ^-^ ((({O}))) ^(Me chills to The Orb's radiance) :) |

All this talk has caused me to put on Orbvs Terrarvm. I'm missing the good old fashioned melodic/ambient stuff. I was listening to FSOL's Dead Cities last night and thinking I need another one of their albums. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah...cydonia with all those vocal tracks kinda sucked.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
agreed, cydonia was a huge disappointment. |
||||||||

ultraworld double disc version was my guide through many LSD adventures. Probably my gateway into electronic music. it's pretty classic however a bit dated. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I've never actually bought an Orb album.... Was so keen to at one stage tho... And yes, Orbus Terrarum was the one I was going to get. You've convinced me to chase it up again! Nyyeeahh! ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm listening to SAWII Trk 7 at the moment tho... I love this song! It's so addictive, and the beat and melody are great... Geez, this is such a good album |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the new album is good with some wicked tracks (a few bogus tunes tho), the first song off it wil be interesting for those of you who thought toxygene was "cheesy"..... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Ultraworld!!! Without any shadow of a doubt!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Don't forget the FFWD album which is The Orb, thomas felhman and Robert Fripp all working together. Has some absolutely beautiful moments. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ultraworld, U.F.Orb, Orbus Terrarum and Orblivion. That's it. You can't go wrong with any of those. |

orb live is a fucking treat! |
