I've been listening to that all day. I love the Orb.
Bet you can't identify the Hillage sample used in track 1
I'm sure they're using Moodscaper on one of the tracks, makes me want to buy it now
Cooool. Thanks for the news.
Monzo, I'm bored. What new plaything have you for me today?
Oh, cool, thanks.
Nice! Thank you.
True story: 1993 or so, I'm sitting out front of the original 9:30 club in DC waiting for the Orb to start. Their tour bus is parked behind the bench my friend and I are sharing a joint on. After a bit, a scruffy roadie looking guy comes out of the bus and I ask him if he knows when the band is going to start. He says he's not exactly sure, maybe another 15 or 20 minutes. I offer him a puff and he politely declines (I think), we chat for a second and he goes into the club. A few minutes later we go inside, show starts and I see what Dr. Alex Patterson looks like for the first time. Well, the second time.
Brilliant story, he's a proper geezer.
I haven't seen them play as much as I'd like, but the best time was at Glastonbury in...erm...the early 90's I think. We were standing in the middle by a speaker stack that seemed to be used mainly for effect samples, so every now and again we'd be startled by the sound of a cow, crashing spitfire, sheep etc. at ear splitting volume right behind us. Good gig though - Hillage and Wobble were guesting, along with the original crew.
Wow. This is the best Orb album I've heard in years.
@MonzoPro Ha. That sounds funterrible. Great that you got to see them with Hillage and Sir Wobble. Hearing sheep samples while standing next to a speaker array meant to fill Glastonbury... less great!
Just looked it up and looks like that show at the 9:30 was 1991. Fuck I'm old.
There was an MTV Live clip on youtube a couple years ago from the Orbus Terrarum days. I am kicking myself for not downloading it as it has since been pulled.
Thats my lame 'live' Orb story.
This album is so solid and fantastic...
It takes me back to when I saw them perform at sunrise on top of a mountain @ what I believe is Big Bear National Park near LA. I saw them with the following bands:
Meat Beat Manifesto
Orbital
Underworld
Chemical Brothers
and a handful of other bands i can't remember at the moment...it was an amazing 2 day (48 hour event)!!
Was anyone else on this thread @ that show (early 2000)...
It's good isn't it. Best since Orbis Terrarum I reckon.
I just bought The Orb's 2015 release "Moonbuilding 2703 AD" yesterday and listening to it now. I was apprehensive because the reviews seemed a bit lackluster, but I think it's way underrated. Love it.
Will buy this new one too once it's released.
I wish!! I'm still kicking myself for not going to see the Chemical Brothers back in 98 or 99 when they passed through my town - not too many 'electronic' artists from the 90's ever came here in the first place.
Glastonbury used to be good for that - I was there for most of the 80's/90's, and you'd see pretty much every band in the World.
Happily above the waist, my claim to fame would be at Barbarella's in Birmingham, watching the support act to excellent Beatles style power pop pioneers The Pleasers. Anyway, blokie is being mostly ignored by the crowd, but I think he's really got attitude. So when he finishes with what I'm sure would be a hit single, and jumps off the stage to make his way to the bar where I'm standing, I make a point of telling him so. "Cheers, mate." He says, and buys me a pint. The blokie was Joe Jackson singing Is She Really Going Out With Him?
That's a good song, I like that.
^^
just because I really luv ya

Thems two great stories right there. Joe Jackson's star faded too quickly (in the US anyway).
"Captain Firehose, I'm bored. What new plaything have you for me today?"
Well, if we're talking chance meetings with awesome artists...i was fortunate enough to meet Karl Hyde from Underworld at a Photo Exhibit for Tomato (the design collective they are/were a part of) in NYC during the tour they did with Radiohead (one of those 2 day festivals).
I thanked him for all the tremendous work he and Underworld have done, because it really shaped me as an artist and designer...and when I told him how blown away I was about the 2 Day concert @ Big Bear National Park they performed at, we reminisced about what an amazing show that was because of the 2 Day line up.
It was really cool walking up to him, shaking his hand and just chatting it up like old chums. It was cool meeting a personal hero of mine...
"I don't know why i say to you i am leaving for konstantinosple tonight. I would not put as much as a bet that soon you no longer tekgee."
I would love it if someone could correct this for me.
^^ don't give me that, I have an to active fantasy for this.
Now its tom jones at the local gloryhole singing its not unusual to be loved by anyone. ^^
I clicked through on this because I mixed up the name with Orbital.
I'm listening to this now. What do you call this type of music? Is it "ambient" or something else?
I guess it doesn't matter. Anywho...
My lame story is I went to Lollapalooza '97 -- peep this line-up!
I either saw Orbital, or The Orb, or both. I honestly don't remember. But when Tool hit the stage and Maynard James Keenan came out looking like this, my jaw became unhinged.
Sounds good - just heard the whole thing - sounds like classic Orb.
... not bad for a human...
I didn't edit out my Tom Jones anecdote quick enough there, oh well, the 'firehose' is out there now...
Ive already done my Vince Clarke/Alison Moyet/Depeche Mode encounters elsewhere on here so won't bore you with those.
Off to listen to Cow (great name) again....
I saw them at Glastonbury at around the same sort of time, '93 ? Gonna be listening to this for the rest of the day now
Thanks for the offer, but I bought it last night - great app! To be honest I'd rather pay for it anyway so it helps support development
I read an interview a little while ago about how they work, and it seems Alex works out a few ideas on an iPad at home, and brings these along with a bunch of records to the studio for Thomas to sample and build up the tracks in Ableton. So it could be in there - you never know!
Just checked and I think it was 92 when I saw them, I was there in 93 as well though so must have missed them that time!
