The Orb

Long-running UK electronic group, originally formed by Jimmy Cauty (of The KLF) and Alex Paterson in 1988, that grew out of a love of ambient music and dub, soundscapes and science fiction. Due to the early work in this style, The Orb became pioneers of the early-90's-born "ambient house" genre. The group's lineup has shifted over the years, with Alex being the only consistent member. Noteable members include Thrash and Thomas Fehlmann. Though he was never officially a member, Youth (aka Martin Glover) was instrumental throughout the group's existence, and co-owned the label WAU! Mr. Modo Recordings with Alex (they had known each other since they were young, and Alex was a roadie for the group Killing Joke, in which Youth played bass.)

The Orb - Urbus Terrarum

Artist: The Orb
P: 1991

This album is so unique and different from almost every other electronic album that it is almost impossible to categorize what it even is. Every song is completely different from the last, it doesn’t sound a single thing like their predecessors and is completely random, capricious and unpredictable. The way how it keeps you guessing what is going to happen with every minute of it is phenomenal. Even though it sounds as if everything on here is really random and impossible to make patterns of, it manages to stay consistent and relevant to the overall mood and feeling of the album. The album takes one through many wild rides and journeys; it arrives with its arms just waiting for one to hope aboard. It allows you to travel through an imaginative synthetic earth searching for the answers to life. For these reasons, The Orb have managed to create one of the most beautiful, creative, imaginative and mind-bending electronic albums of the 20th century. It may take many listens to fully appreciate and completely adore it, so I am imploring you to do so. Orbus Terrarum is one electronic album you do not want to leave out of your music collection at all.
