Electronic godfathers The Orb are riding the crest of a new wave that started in 2012 and continues into 2014.
Hot on the heels of two critically acclaimed albums with Lee Scratch Perry and the chart-topping box set ‘History Of the Future - The Island Years’, the duo set off on a set of dates that has seen them circle the globe.
This word tour included a string of headline, big venue US shows – proving the Orb’s lasting stateside influence as a bastion of quality electronic music, amidst the current EDM craze.
One of many live highlights was ‘The Orb presents Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld’ live at Electric Brixton, which saw Messrs Paterson and Fehlmann celebrate their 25th anniversary by returning to the location of their first ever gig, to perform their seminal first two albums; ‘The Orb's Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld’ and ‘UFOrb’ in their entirety.
The Orb enjoyed the gig so much, they’ve decided to return to Electric Brixton on March 15th – this time extending the fun into an all-nighter.
They’ll also be bringing some high profile friends with them, in the shape of fellow purveyors of sonic excellence - Abbey Road Studios, who are filming and recording the gig for a forthcoming Orb live DVD using Abbey Road’s Live Here Now service.
