watmmisdead Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 weird cuz moonscapes 2073 BC is *the* cut of the album why is it <<the>> track? I find that in each track, theres excellent moment, but also some parts i find a bit boring/long. moonbuilding track is the one that is perfect from beginning to the end for my taste!

chenGOD Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 ITT - people express subjective opinions and others are confused by that. Also, whoever said there wasn't enough good ambient out there post-paulstretch hasn't been looking - I can't remember when there's been so much good ambient. Finally, stoked for new orb, always. I'm guessing from the album title this will have a slightly more overt nod to the KLF album. The sample track up top is lovely. Shit tour dates for us in the pacific northwest.

purlieu Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 Streaming time. On the second track, so far much more melodic than normal, very pretty stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fumi Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Alpine Morning (Expanded) is the Japanese bonus. Haven't hear the album yet but looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acroyear Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Best Orb album in decades. Not much else to say except just listen for yourself. Pure pleasure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUNKUM Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I has ordered the turquoise vinyl from Kompakt for about £10 more than the standard vinyl from Bleap et all, I'm such a sucker. Artwork looks lush too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redruth Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Best Orb album in decades. Not much else to say except just listen for yourself.

And they didn't need to move to SoCal, buy a new computer or start with those new-age crystals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenGOD Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Bought and listened to, I can definitely see myself getting much enjoyment out of this in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiddleBot Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 This really does sound like a return to their roots--if someone had told me they secretly made it in between UF Orb and Pomme Fritz I would almost have believed it. Hey, they are allowed to have their own style after 25 years.. Enjoyed the listen, goes good with work at the office on my headphones, probably going to listen to it a lot over the fall.

fumi Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Kind of amazed how easily they have tapped into that vibe and decade all over again. Some artists seem to be able to do this effortlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kichiguy Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 this whole release is lush! different from moonbuilding, but reminiscent of the orb and klf of yore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

styrio Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Great album that fitted perfectly with a hungover Sunday afternoon for me. Gave up on the Orb around Bicycles, now have to catch up again, working backwards with Moonbuilding which ain't to bad either.

Isn't that on the next album (The Dream)? Okie Dokie is definitely my fave album of theirs in the 21st century (still not heard COW) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redruth Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 me thinks th dream might be th worst release to date. i was confounded and disturbed whn i tried to listen, years back. th cow thing is good good good though, gogogo mcb.. wht r u waiting for.. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUNKUM Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 The Dream is def the worst, closely followed by Metallic Spheres for me. Both mostly written/produced by Youth, no coincidence. I also thought the 2 Orbsessions album were quite good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
