  1. This couldn't land soon enough.
  2. 1. ‘H.O.M.E' 2. ‘Why Can You Be In Two Places At Once When You're Not Anywhere At All' 3. ‘A Ghetto Love Story' 4. ‘Picking Tea Leaves & Chasing Butterflies' 5. 'Tiger' 6. ‘Dragon Of The Oceans' 7. ‘The Beginning Of The End' 8. ‘Living In Recycled Times' 9. ‘Prism On ‘Prism’, released 28th April via Cooking Vinyl, The Orb’s pulsating discography grows ever more huge, with their 18th album, and 3rd helmed by core duo Alex Paterson and Michael Rendall. Despite the connotations of its title, here they continue to rollick freely without inhibition across ambient, house and dub, but also tangent into poetry, pop, full-blown drum ‘n’ bass and actual reggae. To celebrate the official album announcement, The Orb are pleased to share the video for their killer new single ‘Living In Recycled Times’, released 25th January, – a blistering, ten minutes plus, drum & bass floorfiller. The LP features electronic musicians David Harrow (whose CV includes Anne Clarke, Psychic TV, Razormaid, Adrian Sherwood and Andy Weatherall) and Gaudi (whose credits include Max Romeo, Capleton, Johnny Clarke and Desmond Dekker). Other guests include Orb regular Youth, violinist Violeta Vicci, Kompakt records alumnus Leonardo Fresco, Metamono man Jono Podmore, Guitarist and Alex’s old schoolchum David Lofts, plus vocalists Eric Von Skywalker, Andy Cain and Rachel D’arcy. ‘Prism’ begins with the epic winding journey of ‘H.O.M.E’, which features a poem by Paterson, and traverses through dark ambient into star-surfing Fingers-style house, before ‘Why Can You Be In Two Places At Once…’ kicks into a funked-up, afrobeaty chug. With Paterson’s decades-long love for Jamaican music and output oft drenched in the dubwise, it should come as little surprise that The Orb have now gone full reggae, on the ebullient nostalgia tale of Von Skywalker’s youthful romance, ‘A Ghetto Love Story’. The album then disappears down a wormhole of rubadub head-music called ‘Picking Tea & Chasing Butterfiles’, which sounds like Colourbox meets Popul Vuh in Shanghai, and also echoes back to Weatherall’s Ultrabass II remix of ‘Perpetual Dawn’. Flipping the script entirely, by sprinkling a large bag of disco dust, is the slinky boogie wonderland of ‘Tiger’ (the name and nickname of Paterson’s son and late brother respectively), which juxtaposes but somehow coheres with the melodica-tinged thunderous bass music of ‘Dragon Of Oceans’ and it’s Sirius B gazing wordplay. The expertly-executed, floaty 90s trance dance of ‘The Beginning Of The End’ works very nicely within its own familiar parameters; which contrasts sharply with ‘Living In Recycled Times’, which ignites over ten plus minutes into fully-fledged, rave-ready D&B fire, which although out of their comfort zone still sounds very Orb. Music for the ‘Prism’ of your mind, the album ends with its title track – a big ambient epic in done in fine style – as awe inspiring as the cold, infinite expanse from whence it came. https://orb.tmstor.es/

  5. Mentioned September of 2021: “We’ve got a brand-new album coming next autumn after Thirtysomething. Then we’ll start a series of reissuing each album properly. I’m not sure what extras we’ll include yet, but tracks like the nine-minute Untitled, which was only ever on the cassette version of our first album, will find its way onto vinyl.” https://superdeluxeedition.com/news/orbital-tell-sde-of-archival-reissue-plans/
  6. Anyone seen updates regarding the reissue campaign of back catalogue?
  7. 1. Green Room (8:42) 2. Fence Flip (8:30) 3. Creaky Ambu (6:30) 4. Tui Dusk Pinnacles (6:06) 5. Thunder Rumble (7:40) 6. Huhu Bug (5:40) 7. Bird Caravan (5:22) 8. Rawhiti (5:11) 9. Handpan Sunday (6:03) This music was inspired by my experiences in New Zealand in 2018/19. i was trying to capture that atmosphere infront of a soundsystem in the forest. After Twisted Frequency Festival we went to "The Outpost" to wind down. Which is where I sketched the first versions of these tracks. recording birds, tweaking synth noises, making subby kicks. After testing them out a few times, i reworked all the tracks a 2nd time in 2020... Time passed and it was only this last month, where i had a chance to sit down and get into the editing again. Its been such a long time these tracks have been with me. 4 years on and off. various versions in so many situations and forms. I almost left them to dust many times. So im extremely pleased to leave this piece of art in the techno-time-stream of 2022. It's been quite the journey indeed! I would love to blast this out on a big sound system to get the full experience of what can be. so if you know anyone who'd book me to play this out, please get in touch! https://wagawaga.bandcamp.com/album/kahuranglin
  8. 1. Human Touch (CV Beszállás Edit) 05:02 2. Org Vibris (Corso Edit) 05:32 3. Duelling Parrots 05:15 4. Slipgate 04:23 5. Grown-Up Talk 04:19 6. Nueva Traditional 05:49 7. Elanaya Bay 02:59 8. Warming Up 02:58 Rolando Simmons - a revered name in certain acidic circles - joins Utter for the 'Human Remains' EP, a wildly inventive 8-track adventure that deftly dabbles in rave, IDM, Techno and beyond in classic RS style. The project is the creative brainchild of Mattias Östling, who has been on a prolific production streak since the late 2000s, firstly under the name Trackermatte before settling into work under his current moniker. This particular release is a missing puzzle-piece of sorts, compiled and sequenced by Utter's Alex Egan from a self-released digital collection titled 'Human Touch' which initially surfaced on Bandcamp during the producer's golden 2016 'Walk On Strawberries' and 'World Building' era. 'Human Touch' was a curious selection of unmastered oddities - the first Östling made using audio signal processing environment Cecilia5 - which remained largely overlooked due to its digital limbo. The tracklist itself shifted, with bonus tracks appearing then disappearing. While the excellent Dutch label 030303 cherry-picked the original version of the title track for a 2019 2xLP of the same name, the rest of the material remained frustratingly unavailable on vinyl and elsewhere, including the elusive bonus track which prompted Egan to reach out to Östling in the first place, the stunning 'sq1_mc4_iloveu03a_149unedit'. That track is firmly at the core of this new EP, under its new title 'Nueva Traditional', as well as the alternative CV Beszállás edit of 'Human Touch'. They are surrounded by every other un-pilfered gem that originally appeared alongside them - however briefly - with all material freshly mastered and cut by Anne Taegert at D&M. The artwork and large fold-out poster (included with the 12") were designed by the Timpani Mystique Agency. No stone left unturned! Human Remains by Rolando Simmons
  9. Additional pre-order options up at Suction Records now too. https://www.suctionrecords.com/#/releases/rx101-newdiscoveries/
  10. When we first discovered RX-101’s output on Soundcloud circa 2015, we knew we’d stumbled upon something very special. Five EPs and four albums later, and now a firmly established as a crucial artist in the Aphex/Rephlex/IDM cannon, we at Suction Records are still mining this elusive Dutch producer’s 1997-1999 archive of unreleased live-to-cassette recordings, and we’re not even close to scraping the bottom of the barrel. Suction Records is pleased to announce RX-101’s fifth album, “New Discoveries”. As the title suggests, “New Discoveries” is not just more of the same — this is a new side of the RX-101 sound. Rather than taking inspiration from braindance heroes like Aphex Twin and Bochum Welt, “New Discoveries” is a reflection of Erik Jong (aka RX-101)’s love for classic Detroit techno - Juan Atkins, Derrick May, Carl Craig, et al. Like some of the UK producers who mined this sound for inspiration, from B12 to Kirk DiGiorgio, the influence of Detroit techno is crystal clear, even if the sound has a distinctly EU/UK flair. Available digitally, on limited vinyl LP in a reverse-board jacket, or on CD. The CD comes in a reverse-board digipack, adding 2020’s 6-track “Hearts Utd.” EP (including a remix by Brainwalztera) as an exclusive CD bonus. All physical formats include a Bandcamp download card inside. Tracklist: A1. Back To Zero A2. Trip to the Unknown A3. t.p.o.s.m. A4. No Access B1. Sys.rx.9.b013 B2. The Invention of Ideas B3. Voyage of Discovery B4. Star Tracker CD Bonus tracks: “Hearts Utd.” EP (suction052 12”, 2020): 09. Hearts Utd. (Brainwaltzera remix) 10. Core Stage 101 11. Switched Phases 12. 8-a02 13. Aria #3 14. RIP-AXL New Discoveries by RX-101
