morning all...
i'm not usually one for the sunday papers
but as the independent
were giving away two cd's of stiff record compilations yesterday
and today i was
surprised to find a review for the dream written by
laurence phelan...
"there was a time, long ago, when the orb were kind
of big in british
electronic music, so it is pleasing to learn that,
after a long string of
line-up changes and duff albums, they are back,
comprising core
members alex paterson and youth. the dream
references and is of
a kind with their heyday output, but sounds
comparatively distinctive
and fresh. A collage of spoken-word and found-sound
samples
arranged around a spine of ambient house and dub,
it is rich in
texture and varied in mood. they may never be cool
again, but they
are far from an embarrassment."
