YEK Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 there was a point that i saw uforb in the music store(back in the day) i never picked it up, i guess i should have. the only track i've really heard is fluffy clouds which is great. i downloaded most of their discography but i haven't listened to it yet Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide YEK's signature Hide all signatures Reveal hidden contents !:/music Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/42128-rate-the-orbs-output/#findComment-936988 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest spraaaa Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 (edited) there's some good tracks on the badorb compilation/label (website is sweet too), really liked the autolump & multiverse stuff, it's like what they failed to do with bicycles & tricycles. though there are also some terrible ambient tracks. used to be obsessed with all their stuff, now kinda bored with most of it, but orblivion & pomme fritz get maximum stars from me any day. oh yeah also "yungle" and "jam on yer honey" (cut from cydonia but later released on orbsessions comps) are really fun tracks.

Well said.. the first track on Pomme Fritz is unfuckingbelievable, and the rest is pretty meh. Still, well worth owning for the first track. Terrarum is my favourite too, by far. I even managed to score a 2xLP promo not too long ago! =D yek said: they're more dance than orbital right? Nope, orbital is waaaaaay dancier than the orb.

Guest Hanratty Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 I think Orblivion should get more credit, as should Live 93. But my favorite is also Orbus Terrarum.

Guest Aces Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Orblivion is patchy at best. The Orb haven't done anything that i've liked in years.

hayhook Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 yeah orb have always been more of a blissed out, layered, chilled listen (even their more "dancey tracks") and orbital is all energy and beats always. i don't thing they have an "ambient" track in their entire output do they? pomme fritz should have included all the tracks that came on cd 2 of their "deluxe remaster" edition of late and then it would have gotten 3-4 stars from me otherwise yeah, first track - awesome, the rest - irritating orbus is better with every listen. orblivion is underrated, but definitely getting back on the "accessible" vibe and cydonia is all "pop" but still pretty enjoyable. (though I would scrub the vocals from the album if I had a say) evil 93 is I think capturing what orb does best adventures and uforb, though dated on some level have such nostalic brilliance that they retain their 5 stars with honor haven't heard anything since then....

autopilot Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Orbital has a pretty ambient track called Transient, and it's actually one of their best. Also Adnan's off In-Sides. I've actually never listened to Orb outside of their Perfect Drug remix. :< Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/42128-rate-the-orbs-output/#findComment-937964 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Orb pulled an Autechre stunt by releasing new versions that sound just like the old versions. Great album, but I don't know why anyone needs the bonus tracks.
