The Orb
The Orb moved toward a more precise approach with this 1997 release. By leaving behind their earlier tendencies toward sprawling arrangements, the group focused on high concept techno that bridged the gap with space age dub influences.
This collection reflects the period when the UK chill out room culture reached a distinct peak. Island Records served as the host for this electronic work, which highlights studio techniques alongside a whimsical, psychedelic mindset throughout the tracks.
