My quest to have a deep dive back further into those early ambient days continues. I don’t think I ever owned UF Orb. I think, for memory, I had it on a TDK D90 after I recorded it direct from the local CD library. Those were the days.
I find it impossible not to get engrossed in this type of ambient trippy hippy shit. Plus the album also had something of an ultra cool edge, which still just about stacks up today.
For memory I think I had three - or maybe it was four? - Orb evenings at Glasto. Fuck your meat and two veg big name indie headliner back in the day.
The real action was what was then on the NME stage, just as the sun was setting over the Vale of Avalon and the mad fuckers of the Orb fired up their strobe show. Memories may differ due to, ahem, circumstances.
Those buzzing off your-tits days have long since gone. I’m probably quite content now to fire up the UF Orb CD with a particularly strong cup of tea and just feel the vibes man.
Yeah, on yer toes, whistle possee.
