Description

Thirty-five years since Alex Paterson lit the multi-coloured touchpaper on The Orb?s
interstellar space odyssey, he continues to swerve, becoming his own tribute act by
never standing still and preparing a cluster of fresh new projects.
2023 saw the release of Prism, the eighteenth Orb studio album and being
hailed as their most towering set for years, followed by extensive tours of the UK,
Europe and the USA. Towards the end of 2023, The Orb reunited with Pink Floyd?s
David Gilmour to follow 2010?s Metallic Spheres with Metallic Spheres In Colour
(sleeve again by Ghahary). What?s more, 2025 will be graced by an up-to-date Best of
The Orb set.
With Alex Paterson always setting the controls for the perfect ambient flight,
dance groove or exploring previously unknown vistas, The Orb initially manifested as
visionary mischief-makers in 1988?s acid house revolution, taking ?ambient house? to
number one in the album charts accompanied by his parallel devotion to the art of
DJing and very British sense of humour. Always working with telepathic sonic
lieutenants, Alex?s latest forays have been achieved with the brilliant Michael Rendall.
