is nooone interested in progression anymore? are you all satisfied with an artists' particular sound, enough to desire recording after recording of the same thing? (hmm, then i think the chemical brothers new one is for you) the (dare i say it) *amazing* 'orbus terrarrum' was leagues ahead of 'ultraworld' and 'uforb'. on terrarum patterson went deeper, creating this dense deep deep sonic halllucination, filled to the brim with fierce emotion and melody *without losing his sense of humor*. pre-fritz orb was great, trippy, fun music. post-fritz brought a new element of emotion. 'pommes fritz' was a growth period, obviously bridging the gap between uforb and terrarum (this period also including the half-assed 'valley' as well) i saw them on the last tour (for terrarum) and, even though it was the fourth time i'd seen them, it was absolutely fucking amazing, and sticks in my mind as one of the best live gigs i've ever seen. while i have the utmost respect for the orb's pre-'fritz' stuff, stick 'blue room' next to 'montagne d'or' and i'll take the latter any day. mb <mB.twenty-first century soul. <mikebee@freenet.tlh.fl.us.
