The Orb practically invented an electronic subgenre known as ambient house, reviving slower and more soulful rhythms while providing the soundtrack for early-morning ravers after the clubs had closed. And chances are youâve already heard them, even if you donât realize it. Whether itâs âLittle Fluffy Cloudsâ or âBlue Room,â The Orbâs sound is deeply embedded in the DNA of electronic music.
Frontman Alex Patersonâs formula was simple, yet brilliant: slow down the rhythms of classic Chicago house, add synthesizer effects, and include hidden vocal samples in loops to give the tracks character. Their 1991 debut album, Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld, was considered a turning point in electronic music.
More than 30 years into their journey, The Orb proves that their creativity has not faded over time. Their new album, Buddhist Hipsters, is like an enlightened journey through The Orbâs sound world. Ambient, dub, acid, and house blend with futuristic electronics to create a mesmerizing, dreamlike experience. Every track sounds both timeless and completely new, every second full of their musical DNA and creative boldness. Above all, itâs proof that classic albums are still being made in the 21st century, regardless of genre or influence.
Paterson has continued to pursue his first love, DJing, playing clubs around the world. The Orb are true originals in music, honoring the past, looking to the sky, and simultaneously creating the future.
