Album Reviews

In the News
http://www.inthenews.co.uk/entertainment/reviews/music/dance/the-orb-dream-$1206758.htm

******** (8/10) The fluidity created by reverb sends your head swimming, especially with the random inserts of speech, song and rap, not to mention the odd ripple, bubble and chime. Although this may sound like a nightmare day at a playschool, the Orb’s seamless concoctions work so well that the album actually leaves you feeling as though you have just woken from a dream.

Channel 4 Music
http://www.channel4.com/music/albums/review-goldfrapp-seventh-tree-sebastien-tellier-malcolm-middleton-the-orb.html

******** (8/10)The famed chill-out kings’ eighth album reverts to the same spacey production and dub path that they pioneered on their first two album, and you might have heard the likes of single ’Vuja De’ before, but with a title like that it’s not as if the band are pretending you haven’t.

Virgin Media
http://www.virginmedia.com/music/reviews/albumreviews/theorb-thedream.php

*** (3.5/5) the overall sound is polished impeccably and head-and-shoulders above other "taking it easy" electronic artists working today

Subba Cultcha
http://www.subba-cultcha.com/article_album.php?id=6891

An intriguing stride forwards from a band not content to rest on their past achievements.

New Noise
http://www.new-noise.net/album-reviews/nuggets/25-february-2008/nuggets---25-february-2008_3773.html

It’s all about evoking a mood rather than a collection of songs which are accessible in their own right. That said, points of note are the retro-house keyboard hook in ’Vuja De’ and the dreamy, tribal rhythms of ’The Truth Is...’. It’s ambient electronica for the raved-out, and a gentle assault on the senses that could get a bomb squad to chill out.

Music OMH
http://www.musicomh.com/albums/orb_0208.htm

*** (3/5) No new ground broken. No glo-stick/daft haircut stabs at credibility. Some old haunts revisited. Shameless? Perhaps. Anyone else doing a similar musical pot pourri to such goofed-out, quality chill? No. as the good Dr described it, this is simply a follow-on from their biggest album UFOrb, which was a timeless classic. To sum up from the pivotal quote from Something Special "Our people are not equipped mentally to deal with something of this nature, something supernatural".

Single Review

New Noise
http://www.new-noise.net/singles/20-february-2008-_3755.html

The Orb’s continued presence is a reassuring one. The fact that they are still releasing material as strong as the soulfully upbeat electronica of ’Vuja De’ is even more pleasing.

For those of you only coming aboard now, get the full history of the ORB's involvement with Cognition Factor on the link below.

Cognition Factor (the movie), is a full-blown CGI/3D construct, a new way of presenting word, picture, music and opinion. Visual language, comprising of more than twenty five face to face interviews, without showing you the inside of anyone's office, Cognition Factor is a zen-object narrated and seen through the eyes of an ageing cyberpunk.

Featuring live interviews with Terence Mckenna, brother Dennis Mckenna, along with Ralph Abraham, Rupert Sheldrake, Ralph Metzner, Alex Grey and twenty more of the top thinkers of our times, Cognition Factor explores personal themes like; "who am I", "what happens when you die?", plus important social questions like; "are we evolving as a species, or are we doomed to extinction?".

To those of you who have been following this; They say that; 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger', but maybe this isn't necessarily so. Hopefully, there are exceptions to every rule, so it may not surprise you to witness that the last month has seen the final jump to rolling out the finished product, along with an upcoming assault on the Cannes Film Festival, in just a few months time.

At this time, the movie is just a few minutes over an hour long, and thus qualifies as a 'full-length' feature for Cannes. I'll be making a final decision on whether or not Cognition Factor will be entered for Cannes in the next week. If we go ahead and enter, it will mean that we cannot enter or release it anywhere else until the Cannes festival is over, or we'll be 'disqualified'.

Seeing as though the ORB has created the sound for the opening of the movie, I've fantasized about Lx, Dom, Fil and crew backing me up at the premiere by throwing a huge 'Cogni-ORB' party at Cannes for the launch, but it's probably financially impossible, inasmuch as Cannes has to be one of the most expensive places on earth during that week. Anyone know Sean Penn?

Anyhow, Cognition Factor is now in the hands of the post production sound engineers. Their brief is; 'sound mastering complete before the end of yesterday', so that should already be done:)

Box art is looking good, even though we're doing it just to impress the postal service at the mo, but I'll release a cover shortly, so check back when you can.

Have a gr8 2008!

Release Date  25th February 2008
Label  Liquid Sound
Catalogue Number  BFLCD84
Distribution  ADA UK
Website  http://www.theorb.com 

The Orb virtually invented the electronic genre known as ambient house, resurrecting slower, more soulful rhythms and providing a soundtrack for early-morning ravers once the clubs closed their doors. Now they invite you to join them to sit back, relax, and drift into 'The Dream'.

It's been a busy year for The Orb, recording the album, playing Bestival, and seeing the seminal number 1 album, UFOrb getting a re-release. 'The Dream' sees Alex Paterson and Youth at their blessed, and melodious best. Their history speaks volumes, and the future is certainly bright…

The Orb, for years the most fearlessly fascinating sonic marauders on this or any other planet, return in February 2008 with a new album marking a long-awaited reunion between eternal mainstay Dr Alex Paterson and lifelong friend and original inter-galactic conspirator Youth.  The Dream sees a return to the original spirit which spawned the first two classic albums, The Orb's Adventures In The Ultraworld and U.F. Orb. Working with former Dreadzone studio-wiz Tim Bran and a gaggle of guests, Alex and Youth have created a work of stunning beauty and immediacy while never losing sight of The Orb's original quest to homage personal musical obsessions while exploring sonic territories few dare to tread. One of those rare albums which weaves its own unique magic after repeated listens.

The story of The Orb has been the proverbial long, strange trip. Alex and Youth went to school together, and made adolescent discoveries from drugs to punk rock. When Youth achieved notoriety as bassist in apocalyptic post-punk Killing Joke, Alex was the roadie, howling the Sex Pistols' 'Bodies' or Stooges' 'No Fun' during encores. In the mid-80s, Alex moved in with Youth at the Coach House on Wandsworth Common. For years, Alex and Youth had been enthralled and inspired by tapes of New York's groundbreaking radio stations KISS FM, WBLS and WKTU where tracks were mashed up and edited into wild, extended soundclash masterworks which predated sampling and the aural anarchy of acid house. It was in Alex's tiny bedroom that the germs of a musical project started sprouting in the acid house hurricane. By this time, old mucker Jimmy Cauty, who'd been in Youth's post-Joke band Brilliant, was on board and joined Alex in marathon DJ sets in the chillout room at London's earliest acid house clubs like Land Of Oz and Trancentral.

Alex and Youth started the W.A.U.! record label. 1989 saw The Orb's Kiss EP: proto-acid with hints of the aural mayhem to come before 'A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules From The Centre Of The Ultraworld' slapped its hallucinogenic hosepipe on the table and squirted a delirious nation down the trouser-legs with widescreen Orb-style musical rule-breaking. After Jimmy departed to the KLF, Alex signed to Big Life and worked with, among others, engineer Kris 'Thrash' Weston and Youth on the first Orb album. This trio's first outing was the monstrously-successful 'Little Fluffy Clouds', created in a buoyant atmosphere of rampant invention.

Alex and Youth collaborated again on the ensuing U. F. Orb, which surprised many by steaming straight into the album charts at number one. Although remaining friends, the pair saw each other less often as their careers followed their own trajectories. By this time, Youth was busy on a string of other projects which included building his Butterfly studio and Dragonfly record company, both ambitious projects which later ran aground. Meanwhile, Alex was dealing with his new chart-rider status, leaving Big Life in 1993 to sign with Island Records. He then spent the 90s wilfully steering The Orb into whichever strange waters he felt like taking it, sometimes with dark and twisted consequences. The music became more low-key and relaxed after Alex greeted the 21st century working with respected Berlin producer Thomas Fehlmann on albums like 2005's Okie Dokie It's The Orb On Kompakt  for Cologne's mighty Kompakt imprint.    
    
Two years ago Youth started building another studio at the end of his garden, across Wandsworth Common from the old Coach House: The Dreaming Cave [maybe referencing the transcendental Aboriginal dreamstate which inspired Kate Bush on The Dreaming]. Alex popped round and the pair started hanging out again. Inevitably, this turned into throwing musical ideas around like in the bedroom of the Coach House. Alex and Youth discovered that, although trends and technology have changed immeasurably, the bond between them was still as strong, along with the thrill of throwing together disparate elements and drawing from mutual inspirations to forge something startling and, indefinably, The Orb. During that period, Youth produced albums including Primal Scream's Riot City Blues and, most recently, the return of The Cult. Tim Bran, who was with Dreadzone from their early 90s inception until 2000 and has a solo album under the project name of Subsonar which was also digitally released recently (full release in early 2008) on Youth's Liquid Sound label, was his studio partner on these projects and slipped into working on what would become a new Orb album. Alex describes it as the follow-up to U.F. Orb.

The Dream was created without pressure from record companies or the studio. As with previous albums, the basic Orb nucleus is joined by guest singers and players, including System 7's Steve Hillage, who goes back to the earliest recordings, Battersea toaster-singer Eric Walker aka The Corpral and vocalists Aki Omori [the Japanese singer who appeared on 2001's Cydonia], singer Andy Caine from the W.A.U.! days, and renowned soulstress Juliet Roberts who, according to Alex, is 'the cherry on the cream on the gateau on the bed of Smarties.'

Here is some more info about the charity that the night is for:

The Anti Trafficking Alliance works in the UK and overseas to prevent,
tackle and eliminate forced abduction and trafficking into sexual
slavery and to empower survivors.

Human trafficking is the second largest global shadow economy after
drugs and arms and affects every continent in the world.  Figures
estimate that 500,000 women a year are trafficked from poorer regions
of the world to Western Europe for sexual exploitation.

Thousands are sex trafficked to the UK.

There is an urgent need to support initiatives that work towards the
prevention of trafficking into the UK and to help the survivors who
have returned home reintegrate into their communities and seek
justice.

The ATA is a UK Registered charity, established to tackle the growing
problem of sex trafficking, a London based all voluntary
organisation.

Here's an update from Sgt. Vino:

Tickets for the January 11th, 2008 gig in Berlin are available by reservation through: http://www.clubmaria.de

Simply email: bettina@clubmaria.de and reserve as many tickets as you would like and you can purchase them at the door ("abend kassa") when you get there.

Here is the text on the website horribly translated into english (I love the last sentence):

ADRIAN SHERWOOD (on u sound/London)

vs.

Dr. ALEX PATERSON (the orb/trojan/london)

and a supporting guest

Under the mad slogan "I'll be black", THE ORB Mastermind ALEX PATERSON published for the legendary reggae label TROJAN, a double mix CD of all the finest Reggae gems, Dub Masterminds, smoke cloud, radio cross modulation, Intros, Outros, confused, echo - as well as unpublished and rare pieces from various Orb genres.

Particularly here the name Madorb is noticeable: The combined work of Alex Paterson and Thomas Fehlmann with the Mad Professor. Alex Paterson is already for a long time engulfed in the 70's Reggae universe and in each Orb era, one can hear this.

Also in Club Maria is the absolute UK Protagonist of the Reggae scene: ADRIAN SHERWOOD, who is not only an ingenious self-described live mixer and DJ, but with his label ON U SOUND, settles an advanced Reggae sound in England. Bim Sherman, Dub Syndicat, Prince far I, Keith le Blanc among others remix for people such as Depeche mode, Simply talk, Cabaret Voltaire or Nine Inch Nails: ADRIAN SHERWOOD always stood on the correct side of the fence. Never Trust A Hippy, Ali Baba, Madorb.

We are very pleased to welcome the two exceptional Londoners to an evening Selectors Choice of 70's Reggae to inspire to be able!!!!!"
