[kj] Orb with Youth

[sade1]

   Maybe a misunderstanding due to Youth having collaborated in the 80's with that 
  other trancer, Proto-Juno Reactor man Ben Watkins, in Empty Quarter.
   
    "I started making industrial records as they call them now around 1983/84 with 
  Ben Watkins from Juno Reactor, under the name The Empty Quarter.  We did 
  two albums.  That was very hard edged electronic dance music." http://fusionanomaly.net/youth.html

let's try this:
 
The group was formed in 1988 by Dr. Alex Paterson (full name Duncan Robert Alex Paterson) and Jimmy Cauty (one half of The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu and later The KLF). The Orb’s first release was the acid house anthem “Tripping on Sunshine”. 

In May 1989, the Orb released the “Kiss EP”, which was heavily influenced by New York’s KISS FM. Paterson began DJing around London, England at this time when he met Paul Oakenfold. At Oakenfold’s behest, Paterson began DJing at Land of Oz, the chill-out room at Heaven.

Paterson mixed samples of BBC nature recordings, NASA space broadcasts and everything in between into the music of ambient pioneers such as Brian Eno. Around this time, Paterson met Steve Hillage and Hillage later contributed guitar to the Orb’s “Blue Room” single. In return Paterson worked on Hillage’s System 7 project.

In October 1989 the Orb released the 22-minute single “A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules From the Centre of the Ultraworld”, which contains large chunks of Minnie Riperton’s “Loving You”. The single managed to reach the lower end of the UK chart. Although Paterson and Cauty had been working on a debut album, the two split in April 1990. Cauty removed Paterson’s contributions to the album and released the remainder as “Space”.

The Orb Send Youth-Boosted New Album Stateside 

 

In the beginning (i.e., 1989) there was the Orb, and the Orb was more or less two people, Dr. Alex Paterson and Killing Joke bassist Martin "Youth" Glover. However, over the course of a discography pioneering ambient house, the Orb began to revolve around Paterson alone. Now, what was torn asunder has been mended on the Orb's new album, The Dream.

Youth and Paterson are back in the saddle together on The Dream, and true to past form, they have a few guests in tow: Steve Hillage (System 7, Gong), Eric Walker (Battersea), Aki Omori, Andy Caine, and Juliet Roberts.

Six Degrees Records will release The Dream in the U.S. on June 10 (it's out now in the UK on Liquid Sound), and the Orb have a good number of European dates and Paterson DJ sets on the schedule before and after that. [MORE...]
