5.0 out of 5 stars Auntie Aubry's Excursions into The ultraworld, November 30, 1999

A well done 2-CD collection of various artists work, interpreted by the superstars of electronica, THE ORB! Classic and not so classic tracks are given a good reworking by Dr. Alex Patterson, giving the Orb listener a great product. Even fans of the artists being remixed will enjoy the abstract interpretations produced by this phenomenal electronic maestro. A great addition to any CD collection, many of the tracks are set in a mellow sort of mood. Yet, certain tracks definately have a more rugged feel. Also, there is a good amount of danceable tracks for the club/party scene. Yessir, the Orb never ceases to amaze, and Auntie Aubry's excursions are nothing short of amazing.

I cannot say enough about this album. Every once in a generation there is a perfect album; such as TEN by Pearl Jam, on and on, this album was that and more. Disk 1 particularly is beyond explanation. You have to listen to it with your eyes closed. And do it again and again. The first time I heard this album I got that funny feeling that something is symmetric and perfect. On subsequent listenings, my ears enlightened my brain. This is something not to own, but something to treasure and love. Trust not me, but your own ears and soul. Listen to the lyrics before fast forward the future and higher than the sun and tell me you didnt meet god. That you didnt understand a mathematical beauty orders of magnitude than yourself. This is the essence of the Orb. This is the essence of music beyond boundaries. I cannot recommend this album enough.

4.0 out of 5 stars First three tracks are completely worth it, December 11, 2007

The first three tracks on disc one -- Praying Mantra, Democracy and Satellite Serenade -- absolutely make this worth the purchase. As another reviewer has said, make no mistake that you are getting pure Orb goodness. This absolutely feels like an Orb album and not a mish-mash of songs by other artists. The rest of the tracks on the CDs have their moments, but I keep going back to disc one over and over. At this point with the CDs having been out for so long, look at it as getting three fabulous songs for a few bucks and the rest of the album is bonus material.
