"It's really not every day you get a podcast like this.
The Orb, innovators of ambient house and one of Britain's all-time most
celebrated electronic acts, have teamed up with the inimitable Lee 'Scratch'
Perry, one of Jamaica's greatest ever musicians, for a new album, The
Orbserver in the Star House. As The Orb's Alex Paterson put it, in
<http://www.factmag.com/2012/02/13/the-orb-to-release-album-with-lee-scratch
-perry/> an interview earlier this year, "we wanted to do a souly type,
modern, minimal album with some reggae influences with [Perry's] vocals on
top. I think its one of the best bits of work we've ever done."
To toast the album's forthcoming release, The Orb and Perry have also teamed
up for a FACT mix. God knows how you're supposed to start tracklisting, or
even describing it; FACT mix 341 is like a slow-motion kayak ride through a
pipe of slurry, thick, overwhelmingly delayed basslines obscuring wonky
melodies - some recognisable ('What A Wonderful World', 'Zombie'), others
from another planet entirely. Plus, of course, you get Perry toasting on
top, though around half-way through he gets bored and toddles off for a
while. Would you want it any other way? We certainly wouldn't."
