Album Club - Week 88: 09.04.13: The Orb - The Orb's Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld

No worries John & Martin, if we all liked the same sort of music it would be a very boring world

This album defines a period in my life when I completely let my hair down and just went for it. I discovered Trance, nightclubs, ciggies and the odd spliff during this period and it all occurred between the ages of 36 and 42. Who said you have to be young to have fun?

Listened to it 3 times since Tuesday - on the dining room system, then headphones (brilliant on my new Sony 'phones) and the main system. "Little Fluffy Clouds" is on many of my Chillout compilations, and therefore gets played a lot and is a bit over exposed to me and now the RLJ sample gets on my nerves a bit, and "A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules from the Centre of the Ultraworld" starts to bore me about 15 minutes in, but otherwise it has stood the test of time pretty well, and gets a very high 9.

7/10.

I've owned this for years, but rarely play it. Quite enjoyed lsitening to it again, but I still don't get on too well with most of this type of 'electronica' which isn't a patch on the 70's - 80's electronic stuff I grew up on.

I've given this a 5 because whilst I like it, it's certainly not my favourite!
