Anyone here fans? I've only just discovered the orb, had to after seeing Jah Wobble live (he did bass on a few of their tracks, he's amazing). I bought a best of album, and I love it :D I'd heard the track little fluffy clouds years and years before, and finding out just recently what it was was great. I'd advise anyone to listen to the track Perpetual Dawn (Solar Youth mix), it's reggae that one, but it's fantastic. Maybe you'd prefer a more ambient/dub track like Blue Room, but everyone must've heard that. |

orb are quite underrated here...not a big fan though :) |

i think orbus terrarum is most spectacular. |

Ah well I love the orb mainly because it's unashamedly happy and uplifting! How ambient should be imo. I know you probably call them ambient or whatever now, but I would say their earlier stuff was! I really did prefer this material, before they decided to replace lovely synths with something resembling an electronic fingernails-down-blackboard machine. Draft 7.30 was utter cock. I'm not saying I dont also love a bit of dark now and again, but for that I look to your squarepushers and your aphex twins... |

adventures beyond the ultraworld, a classic of its time (or something). |

"Fluffy Little Clouds" captured my imagination... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you need to be in the mood to listen an Orb complete album Little Fluffy Clouds, one of the dreamiest dancing songs ever |

D7.30 = teh awesome!!! go wash your mouth out with soap hehe just kiddin, each to their own. ive been meaning to check em out. is 'adventures beyond the ultraworld' any good? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i mean, as a starting point. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I have 'Orblivion', like 'Ubiquity' the most from that album, but i'm not a big fan. |
||||||||
|

i was given a ticket to see the orb in manchester in march and they were fuckin amazin,,they ripped it up with some bangin techno! |
||||||||

|
|
hm the string arpeggio in little fluffy clouds remind me of something by steve reich but i cant for the love of me remember what it is great happy stuff :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hehe yeah well, I liked the D7.30 track theft anyway. Well then, I think i'm gonna have to pick up a copy of (or download cos I'm cheap) adventures beyond the ultraworld, its got a lot of praise here. |

I agree with the lobster, orbus terrarum is a real classic. Parts of pomme fritz are great too. Their sound is like the perfect mixture of technology and nature. Utopia |

I love the Orb! My favourites: 1. Orbus Terrarum, 2. Orblivion, 3. U.F.Orb, 4. Live 93, 5. The Orb's Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld and a lot of the remixes they made. The sounds are so organic and weird - espacially if you have taken LSD or some mushrooms =) I´ve seen them live on the Orbilivion Tour - this was the best sound I have ever heard - really 3D soundscapes!!! |

the arpeggio in "little fluffy clouds" is sampled from "electric counterpoint" by steve reich (it's actually arranged for guitar and played by pat metheny). |

that was a reply... |

I was listening to Blue Room just the other night... The Orb are lovely |
||||||||
|

:D when I saw jah wobble play that live, he was playing around with that bassline, adding different endings to it and different rhythms, really cool stuff. And at the end with the distorted part, he kept on putting the amp up till he broke it! |
||||||||
|

i think they deserve some of my time to be re-visited. good call. |
||||||||

i like the orb. they don't get mentionned often on xlt - but their early stuff was great. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you should start with "live 93". all of you. RIGHT NOW ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

We played out the whole Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld yesterday on the way down to the city. i liked it even more than usual and with a car full of girls i found out how ignorable it was, but they liked it too. They were like fuck Tori Amos - put something else in. i knew what i had to do. i do think Orbus Terrarum is their genius moment. and then of course The Dream just came out in the US on San Fran's Six Degrees, which i haven't heard yet |

it is probably my fav orb, actually. hi five |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
album live 93 = is the most happy, crazy, ingeniously sound designed, swirly, fluffy ambient album of all time.!! with the sound of the crowd too...so nice.!! (its like the happy still living cousin of lifeforms ) pomme fritz = is whackky mad sunny fluffy you dont know orb till you hear it. it even smells of sunshine. :) |
||||||||

still love them, was trying to collect everything they'd put out when i was younger (fool's errand if ever there was one). bare new age toss in there but if you wrote spanish castles in space you can be forgiven pretty much anything imo |
||||||||
|

|
|
i'm just listening to orblivion now actually, well underrated, s.a.l.t. is just sick you know what the russian word for wormwood is? chernobyl... FACT |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
check out their new album The Dream, some great tracks in thar seen um live few weeks back at the arches in glasgow, one of the best gigs ive been to in years |
||||||||
|

|

listening to live 93 from my discman at the very sunrise, about 4am, on a jetty coming out to the baltic sea after a music festival night several years ago - waiting for my train home - one of most precious memories and "vuja de" is my most played track from "the dream", i lately heard it on a special radio broadcast show from Underworld - seems like i'm not the only one who adores this track. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it just lacks kris weston ..otherwise yep a dream is a top album |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im a pretty big fan of the orb. but ironically enough cydonia is my favorite album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like them, i guess u.f.orb is my favorite along with the orb's adventures beyond the ultraworld |
||||||||

I do quite like that album actually. Blue Room (the full version) is brilliant. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Orb's Adventures is the shit. The unreleased beta version of Cydonia is my second favourite Orb album (some different versions of tracks there). Pomme Fritz is insanely weird. Orblivion, Orbus Terrarum and U.F.Orb (together with Blue Room) are nice chill out material. The last couple of albums have been OK but nothing mind blowing as far as I'm concerned, although by no means have they gone to shit. |

orb were cool till cydonia the rest is boring, IMHO their most beautiful album is orbus terrarum, the composition of the tracks is really amazing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
followed by uf orb and the auntie aubrey's compilations |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the Orb will always be one of the greatest electronic bands of all time in my book. Their first three albums are beyond supreme, even if they've stumbled a few times since. |
