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.....
