Orb Appreciation Thread

[toasty]

Was recently feeling nostalgic and pulled out some old Orb discs I had in my collection. Man, they were way ahead of their time. Most of the time, when I pull out early 90's electronica to satisfy a craving for some old school stuff, I'm disappointed by the tinny and empty sound. Older Orb stuff still stands up great, though, with really lush, multi-layered soundscapes. Much of it sounds like it could have been made last Thursday.

Gonna work its way back into my rotation on those chill playlists...

+ 1 and guilty of tripping to The Orb CD's a lot in the past. And yes, they were ahead of their times..listen to some of their older productions and you can see that.

Re: Orb Appreciation Thread

adventures beyond the ultraworld is still great...i think that alex patterson uses some of the best samples around, he has a good sense of humour. i need to go listen to those discs again. plus the auntie aubreys mix cd is good too. i havent heard the 2nd one of the series though.

Re: Orb Appreciation Thread

big fan of the orb. i have all their studio albums on cd except for bicycles and tricycles (which i just havent picked up yet) or orbsessions (rarities)

orbus terrarum is probably my favorite.

Re: Orb Appreciation Thread

bicyles and tricyles is a bit pedestrian unfortunatley.

Re: Orb Appreciation Thread

Orb's older stuff is just amazing. So futuristic and way ahead of anyone else. There newer stuff I really don't care a whole lot know. But I will put in some of there older stuff and give it a listen again. Great thread by the way as well.
