From: Amazon Posted: Jul 21, 2008 Type: User Review Space Music

The Orb is heavily influenced by Pink Floyd, and it's easy to see why. This album seems to live in it's own world, like Dark Side of The Moon; it easily conveys the space and peaceful darkness of space that Us and Them conveys. It is very easy...

I really don't know anything about this CD. I purchased on request from my friend for her birthday. She seems to be enjoying it. =)

From: Amazon Posted: Apr 05, 2007 Type: User Review A "trip" indeed!

This is easily one of the most influental albums in electronica. It is of course, a classic of the genre (Ambient House/ Dub). One thing that people seem to miss is that the album is not just a journey in the figurative sense, but also...

From: Amazon Posted: Apr 13, 2006 Type: User Review The Orb's Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld

I can't believe no one has reviewed this album.

I first heard of it through pitchforkmedia.com's best albums of the 90's list and I enjoyed it upon first listen, though it is a little intimidating. By contrast "Little Fluffy...

From: Amazon Posted: Jan 03, 2006 Type: User Review Though uneven and definitely not for everyone, "Adventures" is an influential album that ambient fans will love

The Orb's "Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld" was essentially one of if not THE first ambient house album (it at least inspired other artists and (somewhat) popularized the genre - "Little Fluffy Clouds" is a very appealing track). It is,...

From: Amazon Posted: Aug 23, 2005 Type: User Review The start of something new......

This album created a movement thats been slowly evolving ever since. Comparable to Future Sound of London's 'Lifeforms' or 'Dead Cities' this journey into musical bliss is layered with beautiful yet strange samples and textures found only in a...

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 15, 2005 Type: User Review The Chopped-up Single-disc Version

For some weird reason, record companies have just assumed that British and American audiences are so different, that even the way music is packaged must be differently. This is why Beatles' albums were first released in the US with single tracks...

From: Amazon Posted: Jan 10, 2005 Type: User Review A "Trip" Through the Universe

The Orb's Adventures Beyond the Underworld may officially be called techno, but it's hardly dance music. This is techno as filtered through a 70's haze of Pink Floyd and Tangerine Dream. Pothead pixies Gong are another influence, and former...

From: Amazon Posted: Jul 07, 2004 Type: User Review A good album from electronica's best days.

The Orb weren't the first techno band, but they were techno's first major artistic success. Their predecessors confined themselves to the dancefloor, and released their work on the twelve-inch singles most suitable for that realm. The Orb,...
