any other massive Orb fans out there? listening to Orbus Terrarum for about the 1000th time this morning and it just never gets old for me. brought Pomme Fritz with me too. one of the few groups who i have made a point to collect the entire catalog of, although im not quite there yet.
fave tracks? albums?
Re: The Orb
weird, i listened to the orb this morning also. Its all about the blue room ep, and that album on kompakt is good also.

Orb :RightOn:
Re: The Orb
I faded with the Orb when Pomme Fritz came out. Though it and Orbus Terrarum were pretty poor.
But they've really come back, now that's the group is down to Paterson and Fehlmann.
Recently, Bicycles & Tricycles was excellent. Lots of good tracks, and it fits together as an album.
The latest, Okie Dokie..., is almost as good.
Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld is still the Led Zeppelin IV of electronic music. You have to own it!
Re: The Orb
I am a big orb fan. Have been since 97, I have most of there cds, just missing some singles and there live cd. But I have all there studio albums at least.

the live '93 is one of their best :D
Re: The Orb
they are bizzare, i got a dizzy of theirs
Re: The Orb
been listening to okie dokie lately, preeeeeeettty preeeeeeetttty good
Re: The Orb
I love the orb but i havent listened to that many albums. One that i have been bumping lately is the new one on Kompact. Great album
Re: The Orb
the new one is different from most of their stuff, fehlmann totally took over on a schaffel tip. and thats not necessarily a bad thing, i like either way
Re: The Orb
Always been a big Orb fan. Back in the day, Orb + bag o' shrooms = great time.
Re: The Orb
I've been digging okie dokie lately, nice album.
Re: The Orb

Re: The Orb
yep, its a fantastic album, i love the whole thing, but the one for me is "Oxbow Lakes"
Re: The Orb
weird, I just listened to Orbus Terrarum on Saturday for the first time in a long time. I was thinking about the seconds song (Plateu is it? ) where at the beginning they say "and now folks for an old familiar favorite....simple little sentimental song..." and I realized how that has now become true for me. Pretty amazing album, by far my favorite, although I am a massive orb fan and own all there stuff that I could find (bought every single one of their cd's, and some LPs as well!).
Re: The Orb
yeah, i love the orb. my favorite is the the 2-disc ultraworld one.

Re: The Orb
I saw The Orb play live back in '91 or '92 and it was, without doubt, one of the definining experiences of my formative years. The first two albums were all-time classics... it all went horribly downhill after that ? lacklustre, uninspiring, mundane and lacking both ideas and vision. Pomme Fritz was embarrasing compared to the previous epics. I haven't gone near them since, preferring to remember Paterson & Co. for greatness not the run-of-the-mill pap that followed.
[I]Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld[/I] and [I]UF.Orb[/I] are all you need...
Re: The Orb
I'm surprised U.F.Orb hasn't been mentioned more. [I]Incredible[/I] album. Live 93 was great, ultraworld obviously, orblivion i really liked, but took a while longer to get into. Everything after I thought was pretty weak, but I need to check out okie dokie. I [B]love [/B]the orb.
