quite a few orb fanatics in here :) I take it uforb refers to "ufo" by the orb? i'm drinking red wine, i just a smoked a spliff and filled my room with this album. the walls are alive. this is great. |

I find the Psychic Pals Family Wealth Plan Mix by Carl Craig to the best remix of an Orb track ever, but the Sabres and Evensong String Arrangment are bloody awesome too. Oh, and the Aubrey Mixes LP is sweet as hell. |

the orb & the klf both played their part in influencing the 'idm' scene, as did detroit techno & chicago house |

it's actually called uforb. curse these bad labelled mp3s. towers of dub just passed. it's a rather massive dub tune. spacey, reverby dub invading my room. i'm having some close encounters at the moment. this album is very good :) |

Speaking of Victor Lewis Smith, did anyone watch the 'Ad Infinitum' series he did a good few years ago? It tickled my funnybone something rotten. |

at the risk of sounding heretical, I've found myself listening to Cydonia a lot over the years. Very deep percussive soundscapes in most of the tracks. Also, as to the allegeded planned "2-cd" release of Cydonia: well, I can tell that at least the early promos (or leaks or whatever) of Cydonia back in the days had maybe half a dozen tracks that were left out of the retail version, to be replaced (mostly) by neater, simpler, shorter, more "disco"-oriented material. There's some really looooongwiiiiiiinded material on the early Cydonia disc. Some of it is OK. But I find at least the retail version one of the strongest lps of its time, if not Alex's best work. Too bad they messed up and dumbed down that weird drum-roll-in-a-washing-machine track i-forget-what-it's-called in the retail, though, since that sounded much better on the promo methinks. Ghostdancing is my favourite probably. Also, pomme fritz can play with your head if you want to talk to it and let it talk to you while in "deep meditation". Little fluffy clouds is heavenly pop; I think it's like the hidden link between klf and later orb. I may (also) be stupid though. |

Actually that sample says "hi i'm rags" and its a robot dog from that woody allen film Sleeper, which also features "the orb" a futuristic pleasure device. Fact fans. |
