I feel a need to add FFWD to this conversation. For me it was the pinnacle of The Orb's creative success. Obviously Fripp's handprint is all over it, but what they did with the tape he gave them was, to me, absolutely genius. --- Ramon Vink <ramonvink@hotmail.com> wrote:
I think the main difference between "old Orb" and "new Orb" is the use of samples(loops). Listen to AHEGB (album) and you see what i mean: 99% sampled stuff. The combination of these samples contribute to an o(r)bscure mix of flavours. New albums like Cydonia, OkiDoki and on, do not have a lot samples stuff. I am not claiming the old days are better, but certainly different.aRv
