CD Reviews

Fantastic, as usual.

keefycub | Yonkers, NY United States | 10/27/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"First off, I must let you know, dear reader, that the four years that passed between the Orb's last album and this album were not spent idly and without lots of other releases ... they're just not "albums" and after all to be taken seriously one must be judged by "albums" .If you want your Orb to be stagnate, unchanging, and eventually boring and dated, this isn't the album for you. Stick with "2001: A Space Orbessey" which has plenty of those 15-minute-plus tracks you love so much. Or keep up with the DJ sets performed online, grab those and stick with those. If you'd gotten your way, the Orb would have been a joke by now.If you like your Orb to change, just like you've changed as a person in the last 13 years, then this CD should keep you happy. As an entirely different direction for the Orb from previous albums, it's not an easy first listen, and there's no reason why it should be (Alex doesn't make music for you-individually-per-se). Put it on, relax, listen to it, and hit repeat on the remote when you get to the end so you can listen to it again. And *learn* it inside and out before you make up your mind whether you like it. And appreciate that each Orb release is different from the last one. Pretty soon you'll be clamoring for the next one, wondering what new direction *it's* going to take."

Orbtastically brilliant

L. Krebs | California | 07/26/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Astonishing and beautiful, while being almost a 180 change from earlier works. Especially attractive are the standout female vocalists, Paterson seems to be a musical genius. Looping through this entire beautiful cd are the Orb trademarks we've come to know and love, palpable yet ethereal bass and drums which register somewhere between squishy funkiness and haunting fade. Sigh. Wish more people could get things this right. The world might be a better place."

Bonus track on Import version

"Another great album from Orb! Just wanted to mention that the UK import version has an extra track inserted at #12 (EDM) which (IMO) is easily worth the extra cost."
