The Orb - C Batter C

Could be good, bit disappointed it's not a new album.

dubstep sure is an epidemic desease.

sounds ok though..

not just dubstepped. interesting sounds: http://boomkat.com/cds/457088-the-orb-c-batter-c

i like this, but i'm new to The Orb.. which album would you recommend for starters?

Probably the closest sounding thing they've done to this (mainly, I think, because of Thomas Fehlmann's influence) would be their last proper album, "Baghdad Batteries" on the same label. Give that a try - it's one of their best in a long, long time and not at all like the other two "Orbsessions" albums. In fact I'm still puzzled as to why it's considered an "Obsessions" release at all...

People do know that this 'album' is just remixes by various artists of the 17 minute opening track, right ? The 'dubstep' track in that video is a remix by a dubstep(ish) artist Oicho ...

Indeed. This isn't technically an album at all.

ah that's why it's so bad.

actually, quite a decent bit of this has been produced by alex paterson and thomas fehlmann

I disagree. Baghdad Batteries was one of the best releases that year, it doesn't really compare to their old work but very little does anyway.

yeah that's what I mean.

I am the only one who also really enjoyed the Metallic Spheres w/ Gilmour ? Better than most of their stuff imho...
