Indeed. I was going to say the same thing (I've not heard "Orbus Terrarum").
"Pomme Fritz" was far too aimless noodling for me. And when Laz and I saw
them live last year at the Organic festival, they spent far too much time
pissing about and noodling around, and not enough time playing actual 'choons,
IMHO. I love The Orb and there were some occasional moments of brilliance,
but I liked previous incarnations better. I'd be interested to hear
"Orblivion", though.
On now: Autechre "Chiastic Slide"
