After almost 15 years worth of albums to their names, Paterson et al have once again made an album to be proud of. Their lack of direction felt over their last couple of albums (and mix albums BadOrb.com and Auntie Aubrey’s Excursions) made me worried that The Orb saga was soon to be forgotten.
This album is probably their most demanding work to date. Fusing elements as diverse as Hip Hop (Aftermath), Detroit Techno (Gee Strings), Dub (Tower Twenty Three) and Fennesz/Twine style Ambient Glitch (Compania and Dilmun), there is a great diversity between the album albeit with the usual Orb style playfulness and consistency found in the previous works.
The only track that seems to fail to have any impact is ‘The Land of The Green Ginger’, a track that would not seem out of place 10 years ago. With rather tired arpeggiation and overuse of ‘silly’ narration, it seems more of a retrospective of their earlier ambient meanderings that the critics hated so much, rather than a song worthy to be upon this album.
The production also seems to improved greatly over their earlier works with a far greater spectral range than that of say Orblivion and even Cydonia. It seems as if they were too aware of this evolution of sound through the ‘remix’ of their debut track ‘Huge ever growing pulsating brain that rules from the centre (of the ultraworld)’ in the track From A Distance which features Orbital style dark bass lines and layering of sound bringing their 1991 track up to date.
The last two tracks also mark a completely new style for The Orb and one which I hope they continue developing in the future. Featuring the glitchy style ambience that is normally associated to Touch:To and Mego artists, they have constructed a dark ambience with incredibly rich tonal quality and a fantastic depth to the sound.
Overall, this album is one which I am incredibly pleased to have purchased. This is something that will not only entertain long-term Orb fans like myself, but also as a debut to those willing to experience the more melodic side of ‘ambient-techno’ (a phrase particularly loved in the mid 90’s !). This album is considerably darker than previous releases and in turn added a lot more depth to their sound.

a return to form on the new UK release of the album - a very different feast to the japanese version which came out last year... a little more knob tweeking has worked wonders... and a little extra bass in the mix too...
its a grower....

The Orb may not be as relevant to electronic music and music in general as they once were but BAT shows that they still know how to make a great album. More upbeat and diverse, this album isn't so much a single listening epic as their early stuff but just a collection of good Orb tracks, naturally filled with weird, trippy samples. The best tracks are Hell's Kitchen, The Land of Green Ginger, Gee Strings, LUCA and From a Distance all of which are classic Orb. Everything else is good but these tracks are the ones that make the album such a good listen. Worth buying but get their earlier releases to see them at their full potential.
