Very decent

Though this is a collaboration between Orb members and non-Orb members, it definitely fits in well with the rest of Orb's catalogue. Though it's less ambitious and sprawling than some of the Orb's best work, it's more focused and listenable than much of their newer stuff - you never get the sense the tracks that they were just fooling around for the sake of fooling around, but that they genuinely wanted each track to sound good. Many trademark Orb strengths are here, like quirky samples and warm, dreamy sounds. But as an added bonus, most of the tracks have fat, tasty beats of the sort that are usually absent on Orb tracks. Overall, it's not a masterpiece, but it is solid and contains some really nice tracks. The final track alone is worth the admission price.

A keeper...

There are exquisite moments on this album, and I say this despite the fact that I am drifting further and further away from the display of chilled jazzy electornica found on this album (or "dub-tinged global ambience" as one reviewer called it). My favourites are Concourse, Boom (Bombay) and Wagon Wheels. I have no hesitation in recommending the album.. The Orb meets the KLF can't be a bad thing :)
