The Orb & Lee Scratch Perry - The Orbserver in the Star House

Oddly was listening to super ape and then saw this:

http://www.factmag.com/2012/06/21/download-the-first-track-from-the-orbs-album-with-lee-scratch-perry/

I'd be surprised if there wasn't a thread already but search returned no hits

downloading the preview track now

Preview track is pretty alright!

thanks for the heads up but that track wasn't doing it for me.

On 4th listen I like alot. the opening (field-like) repeating stabs started to annoy me but they go away.

Holy shit they did a cover of fluffy little clouds and didnt ruin it. obviously its never going to be as good but its fun

Not bad, didn't know Fehlmann was aboard for this one, might have to check it out.

Cheeky cover too (if indeed the cover). Likey.

the original is one of my all time favorites and this version is a nice tribute to it

here is the other preview track too for easy listening

This doesn't go anywhere interesting for me. I feel the Orb have been on a bit of a downer since Baghdad Batteries.

The Dave Gilmour collab was shite and last year's C BatterC project was strangely flat and lifeless. This new track is pretty meh.

Amen to that. Might be the worst record I've ever bought.

no more time for fucking music, busy with better stuff.

I always prefer the records with Fehlmann over Youth any day. They seem to tag team on alternate Orb albums recently.

whatevs i missed those last few records and only really came to this due to perry

ehhh orb.... I like to think it ended after orblivion.

and okie dokie was just a solo fehlmann record.

Perry always makes me think of an interview w Al Jourgensen where he recounted interning for Perry and almost immediately being sent on drug runs.

oops

First 2 are free... the last one isn't. Too bad I like the last one best... but oh well.

yeah, last one is pretty good.

Looking forward to hearing this, allmusic gave it a good review. http://www.allmusic....se-mw0002397301

first listen kinda mostly passed me by. a little unstructured perhaps.
