I could never deny that hearing the first orb album (along with didgeridoo) totally changed my tastes/perspectives in music, however the orbs new single is IMO awful, i saw them on top of the pops and it sounded like someone else doing a lame parody of the orb. The only thing in their favour was the fuck off expensive gorgeous big waldorf synth they were using 'sigh'... kF

Has anyone heard this yet? My intial reaction is that this was the record that SHOULD have followed UF Orb. Patterson's comments about this being a jungle emersed album are highly unfounded (except for maybe "Delta MK II" and the hidden track.) Instead it's most the Orb doing the Orb circa 1991. Not as good as the first two albums, but certainly better than THOSE last two. scott warner scottw@west.net

Those my friend ARE fightin' words..... so you didn't like the last two records. I love 'em. I agree, "pomme fritz" and "orbus terrarum" are certainly recorded in a completely different mindset from the bouncy housey goofball cartoonish rhythms of orb's first two discs. Instead, they've captured beautiful ebbing and flowly swishy ambience in cascading rhythms not nearly as prominent, yet infinitely more complex than the first two albums. Also, it took me a while to "adjust" to patterson's wavelength. But today I would just as easily praise UFOrb for it's brilliance as I would to Orbus Terrarum.

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.

Funny.. I am listening to it now. I like it, it took to the 3rd replay for me to really appreciate it - perhaps being at work over 2 nights in a row addled my brains a bit.... Anyway, not the best I don't think, but good nonetheless. Good direction overall. Hell, Alex could fart into a mike, mix it and I would buy it. Eric

The fact that someone dislikes Pomme Fritz and Orbus Terrarum doesn't automatically imply that that person just wants to hear the band crank out clones of "Little Fluffy Clouds" for the next fifteen years. I like hearing bands progress -- it just happens that Pomme Fritz caught them progressing in a direction I wasn't interested in riding along for.

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" - Greg

Well, I was going to pick up Orblivion today and called a couple of stores only to find out all us lucky people in Canada get to wait until March 25th for Orblivion to be released... Andrew

I must say the new Orb is quite good. I posted last week briefly when I first got it, and I've gone through it about 15 times since. Some people may not like it because it doesn't have the 'lazy' quality that the live CD set had or his ambient stuff has (which at times can seem meandering and self indulgent). Anyhow the new disk has the complexity that Orbus Terrarum has, but it is much more straightforward (ie the songs carry more of a structure.) Additionally, there is some strong drum programming, ranging from diluted d&b patterns to 'trip hop' tempo/house type rhythms (I was surprised because I never considered drums one of Orb's strongpoints.) The whole disk flows quite well, and is analogous in mood/tempo to STC's Emit Ecaps. Don't worry though this album is just as heady as Orb's past stuff.
