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.
In that sense, I really look forward to hearing Orblivion.....
