The Orb MUST go back to their roots. And these roots are NOT psychedelic or abstract at all, but pure fucking DUB. Nothing more, nothing less. I think they should not move into that minimalistic crap IMO. They have been doing that for a while now and it bores the crap out of me. Also The Dream is a failure to me. Don't get me wrong, i used to listen a lot to Tim Bran's Dreadzone but this is not fun at all. Overproduced i would call it allmost. Sorry for my rant....

Don't get me wrong, I like Fehlmann's stuff, but I favor his stuff on Good Fridge more than the new stuff. While I think there's some nice production, that minimal style is boring. > > And the Orb is a psychedelic band.
