| | Orb BBC Sessions 1989-2001 CD Orb Discography of CDs
The proliferation of electronica artists throughout the 1990s and 2000s may make it easy to lose sight of the genre's founding fathers, but this compilation of the Orb's BBC sessions, recorded between 1989 and 2001, will rectify that mistake. Forerunners of IDM and ambient house, the Orb's pulsating, psychedelic grooves were tremendously influential, thanks in part to the support of John Peel, who recorded several excellent sessions with the group over the years.
The two-disc set opens with the 20-minute track "A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules from the Center of the Underworld (Loving You)" is a highlight, but classics like "Back Side of the Moon" and their signature "Little Fluffy Clouds" also stand out. Digitally remastered, this collection is as essential as any studio album in the Orb's catalogue.
2008 digitally remastered two CD collection of BBC In Session tracks by the Kings of Ambient, hand picked by Orb leader Alex Patterson with sleeve notes containing Alex’s recollections of his time in the BBC’s studios. Featuring alternate versions of four chart singles and the Peel Session recording of the massive underground hit 'A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules From the Centre of the Ultraworld'. This track is the most requested Peel Session track of all time and was #10 in Peel’s own Festive 50 chart. Also contains some rarities including a full blown Rock-out version of 'No Fun' by The Stooges. 17 tracks. Universal.

The first hint that the Orb might have taken their work a bit too far, Pomme Fritz is a "little album" (only 40 minutes) that swaps the interterrestrial journey concept with some sort of psychedelic culinary preoccupation on tracks like "More Gills Less Fishcakes" and "We're Pastie to Be Grill You." Those two were the Orb's most experimental to date -- garbled vocal samples ...

The Orb are the rave scene's resident gods of ambient psychedelia. ORBLIVION's beats don't so much swing with techno's hyperkinetic verve as they imply that swing through their extreme, dubbed-out feel. At times a spaced-out bassline serves as more of a grounding factor ...

According to their self-generated bio, the members of the Service Industry all worked jobs in various soulless establishments; fast food chains, mega-franchised coffee shops, and the like. The boredom and monotony of their day jobs led the gang, which fluctuates between six and nine members, to put together an agit-prop band to combat the oppression of the workplace with music. The band lives and plays (and probably works day jobs) in Austin, TX, another spoke in the oddly shaped wheel that makes the city an indie music Mecca. The cover art tips you off to the fact that the band isn't always serious. The front cover is a parody of Pink Floyd's Animals and the songtitles rage from the disgusting -- "Liquid Meat into a Form" -- to the desperate -- "My Resignation." The music's presented in an offhand, lo-fi manner in keeping with the downbeat material; it opens with "Liquid Meat into a Form" a midtempo rocker that contrasts the fast food joints of modern Texas with the natural ways of the Native people who once lived there. The music is light and poppy, but the phrase "Liquid Meat into a Form" just naturally triggers the gag reflex. "Oh I" sounds like the inner dialogue of a worker slowly going crazy on an assembly line. Grinding guitars and dispirited vocals underline the song's hopeless vibe. The title track is an R&B stomper that juxtaposes the jealousy of minimum wage workers with the lives of the movie stars and gangsters they wait upon. "All in One" lists off all the ...
