On Okie Dokie.. I don't know.. I gave it another go last night and i just don't like it. Maybe i am a spoiled brat, but i don't get that Orb spark when i listen to it. Hardly any funny vocal/sample stuff on there. Also i miss the clever rhythms the Orb was so good at on songs like "valley" for example. That's what i liked about the Orb, the 'strange' rhythms. You can hear it on extensively Orbus Terrarum and Orblivion.. Combined with heavy duty basslines it was THE sound of the Orb.. IMO gr, R

I've been waiting for this track for damn near two (or is it three?) years. At one point, I was willing to trade all my Badorbs that I never got for what I thought would never be released. Makes the whole album worth it. 'Mummie Don't' is another great. I'm not all that sure about the second track with the female vocals. I think I could've handled it had they emphasized everything else (besides her) a bit more. Glad to see Yungle made it...
So how about Okie Dokie on Kompakt? A damn fine album; can't wait to buy it. A few tracks already released but otherwise great new material IMHO. Not what I expected, but good, just the same.
All in all I'd say a great move since B&T.
