Biography

The Orb are an English electronic music group known for spawning the genre of ambient house. Founded in 1988 by Alex Paterson and KLF member Jimmy Cauty, The Orb began as ambient and dub DJs in London. Their early performances were inspired by ambient and electronic artists of the 1970s and 1980s, most notably Brian Eno and Kraftwerk.

4.0 out of 5 stars More adventures beyond the Ultraworld!, October 1, 2004
This review is from: Aubrey Mixes: The Ultraworld Excursions (Audio CD)
Hard to believe this hasn't been reviewed yet. I've owned this album for many years and it is a mainstay in my Orb collection. Seeing how expensive and rare it has become makes me count by blessing that I got it when I did.

Basically what you have here are more ambient mixes of 6 tracks from the Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld album with 2 mixes of Spanish Castles for a total of 7 tracks. Over an hour of floaty ambient trancy bliss. There was a time when I thought this was even better than TOABTU, but years later I have to say I think the orginal is the best. This is still a great album and a must for Orb and trance fans, but it doesn't have quite the same cohesion and flow that the original does. Still, it is a solid 4 stars--not a classic but still an experience well worth having. Putting this on as a continuaton of the TOABTU album is quite a listening experience.

It will take you beyond the Ultraworld and back. ;^]

5.0 out of 5 stars An ambient classic, June 30, 2006
This review is from: Aubrey Mixes: The Ultraworld Excursions (Audio CD)
The Orb's Aubrey Mixes - Ultraworld Excursions are (in my opinion) the best they have produced, and is better than the original TOABTU that they come from. It does need some listening to.
