Dubbed 'the ultimate chill out band', who better than The Orb to deliver an after-hours Back to Mine mix? Alex Paterson, the man who wrapped us up in Little Fluffy Clouds and Perpetual Dawns, and lead us through Blue Rooms, has gathered together the best ambient atmospherics and off-kilter rhythms. Out on DMC this January 27th is features a suitably bizarre mix of tracks, verging from Aphex Twin to soul legends The Chi-Lites, to a couple of the best cover versions around : Electric Chairs' 'Barbie Girl' and Schneider TM's electro bliss version of The Smiths 'There is a Light That Never Goes Out'. Available on CD (catalogue number BACKCD12) and Triple LP (BACKLP12). The mix also features a new track from The Orb themselves - 'The Land of Green Ginger', which is available first here on Back to Mine.
