DESCRIPTION

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
With the rise during the past year of such artists as Orbital, Chemical Brothers, the Prodigy and Underworld, the timing couldn't be better for the new album from The Orb, the musical collective centered around founder Alex Paterson. From their club masterpiece, "Little Fluffy Clouds," and their groundbreaking debut album to 1995's Orbus Terrarum, the group has maintained an ever-evolving approach to "Electronica," always one step ahead of the rest of the ambient pack. First single/video: "Oxygen." [Note: This product is an authorized CD-R and is manufactured on demand]. This product is an authorized manufactured on demand CD-R

Dr Alex Paterson used to be a roadie for Killing Joke, before he got caught up in the acid-house revolution alongside fellow punks Jimmy Cauty and Bill Drummond (of KLF fame). Under his Orb moniker, he has taken electronic music into the realm of eccentric dreams, bringing together disparate musical threads and whisking them all together with his magic dub-stick. Orblivion doesn't contain any classic songs like "Little Fluffy Clouds" or "A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain" but it is a return to form after weaker albums like Pomme Fritz and Orbus Terrarum.

In contrast to the apocalyptic vision that its title conjures up, Orblivion is essentially a happy merry-go-round that takes a typically kaleidoscopic approach. There is an element of dystopia in the use of dialogue snatched from Mike Leigh's stark classic "Naked", but apart from that the usual oddball humour, floppy madness and dubby dance music is very much in abundance. Enjoyable stuff. --Paul Sullivan
