Opening with 'Komplikation', The Orb serve up a dubby fingered techno which is characterised by their hypnotic stance. Despite being a bit more nervy than usual this is still a sound which is best heard while horizontal. A sound which includes the strangely Depheche Mode-influenced 'Lunik TM", the weird glambience of 'Captain Korma', some rubbery-bass on 'Cool Harbour' before at last ushering in the more hushed environs of the album's latter half through 'Traumvogel'.
Using cascading melodies and chiming digital bobbins, The Orb reassert their place in the annals of downtempo music.
The prominent presence of long-time (and current) collaborator Thomas Fehlmann makes this one of the less ambient Orb albums, but this out of print gem is proof positive that despite the new seriousness, Paterson still can't help being, well, a bit daft.
