Orb - Orblivion
Review by Michou Chmelir
Orb's Orblivion album is a unique blend of ambient and electronic music that takes the listener on a journey through space and time. The album features a variety of tracks that are both ethereal and experimental, creating a captivating listening experience for anyone who enjoys electronic music.
The opening track, "Delta MK II," sets the tone for the album with its haunting melodies and atmospheric soundscapes. As the album progresses, tracks like "Asylum" and "Secrets" showcase Orb's ability to blend diverse musical elements, including jazz and dub, into their electronic sound.
One standout track is "Molten Love," which features a mesmerizing vocal sample layered over a pulsing beat and dreamy synths. The album closes with the epic "Slug Dub," a 13-minute journey through a world of swirling rhythms and hypnotic melodies.

About Orb
Long-running UK electronic group, originally formed by (of ) and in 1988, that grew out of a love of ambient music and dub, soundscapes and science fiction.
