    Such a great period in electronic music. The Orb, Orbital, 808 State, Aphex Twin, Ultramarine, The KLF' Chill Out album etc. One thing I love about this track: the dog samples are from the Woody Allen movie "Sleeper".

    • @JimNewstead
      @JimNewstead  2 роки тому +1

      Yeah, brilliant time, if you could avoid the cheesy rave tunes! The Future Sound Of London, Orbital, Eat Static, Aphex Twin, The Orb, Leftfield, Boards Of Canada, Röyksopp….. it’s a veritable feast of sounds. And Chill Out by KLF is certainly one of my most prized CDs. Never managed to get that on vinyl.

    They're great at a festival where they can really let that bass rip. Hits you right in the chest, shakes you to your boots.

      In my opinion, you UK folks always made the BEST EDM, and still do actually. It may sound cringe, but as an American dood, that's one of the things I've always loved about you guys. Keep up the awesome tunes!

    Nice one, Jim! I remember first hearing The Orb (A Huge Evergrowing Pulsating Brain... though at that time it was still called Loving You, I think) on John Peel one night. Transfixed. I imagine that you have the KLF 'Chill Out' album which is essentially Alex Paterson (from The Orb) remixed, reimagined or ripped off, whatever you prefer. Very similar to this.
    Meanwhile, this is what emerges when prog sleeps with reggae in a parallel universe.

    Good old Orb. Apparently i got 27 (digital) albums by them (including some singels/remixes with of course the 40 minutes Blue Room single)
    Fav album "The Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld", UfOrb comes in on strong 2nd :)

  • @palantir135

    Several Orb albums (9) in my library including this one.
    Love this kind of music.
    The start of this album is hilarious. It’s from 1992.
    Similar to the Orb are:
    Solar Fields
    Ken Martin
    Future sound of London
    I’ll have my beer around 11 pm. It will be a Chimay Trappist tripel 9%

    Dude.....Jesus, I saw them 5 times in the early '90's....Flipping excellent stuff....I still have a few cd's and they get an airing occasionally.....I also seem to have an eclectic taste.....I did dabble in this sort of stuff from '89 to mid '90's...Aphex Twin, System 7, Eat Static etc....
    You used to get absolutely stoned at one of their gigs (or live "experiences") even if you weren't a smoker....
    Haile Selaisse !!!! I remember that !! Hahaha !!
    Such chill out stoner ambient dub vibes from a really good decade of music.....You ought to have a listen to that Orb and David Gilmour "Metallic Spheres" album ??? Well worth a poke....
    Dr Alex, that bloke from Sun Electric (well worth having a look at) and Youth from Killing Joke.....Fecking hell !!!
    And I've just been asked to turn the bass down on this as she's off to bed as she works early tomorrow....!!!!

      Metallic Spheres is again an excellent record. The inclusion of David Gilmour is inspired.

  • @wicky4473

    Love the Orb, only have one album of theirs, a later double album called Moonbuilding 2703AD. Somewhat dark and mysterious. On a lighter note and going back in time a bit, Little Fluffy Clouds is a real classic. They provide for me, the same serene sensation that Brian Eno ‘s music does.

    "Don't know what to expect" indeed. I wasn't sure what to think at first, but once it settled into a groove I was on board. I was a fan of electronica from the 90s on, but I missed out on this group somehow.

    • @JimNewstead

    Deep bass? Try Joe Jackson's The Band Wore Blue Shirts. A little more experimental than his usual stuff. The harmonica sounds in this remind me of JJ's song.
    The dog stuff reminds me of Timbuk 3's song Sample the Dog (an Austin, Texas band from the early eighties).
