The Orb

The Orb live plus special guests Marree Men – feat Gaudi and Alex Paterson

Few artists have defied convention over the years like Alex Paterson, figurehead of The Orb – having immersed himself in punk and dub reggae as a teen, he went on to roadie for rockers Killing Joke, worked in A&R for Brian Eno‘s label, E.G. Records, and somewhere along the line not only created ambient house, but built a more than 30-year career out of it.

Since The Orb’s 1991 debut The Orb’s Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld – which featured tracks such as Little Fluffy Clouds, Perpetual Dawn, and A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules from the Centre of the Ultraworld – the group have released some 19 albums, with a myriad of personnel changes along the way (Paterson being the only permanent member).

The Orb‘s 20th album release in the autumn will be ‘Buddhist Hipsters’.
