Ua haku ʻo Orb i ke ʻano i kapa ʻia ʻo ambient house.
He mea maʻalahi ke ʻano o Frontman Alex Paterson - ua hoʻolohi ʻo ia i nā mele o ka hale Chicago maʻamau a hoʻohui i nā hopena synth.
No ka hoʻonanea ʻana i ke kani i ka mea hoʻolohe, ʻaʻole like me nā mele hula, ua hoʻohui ʻia nā leo "blurred" e ka hui. Hoʻonohonoho maʻamau lākou i ke mele no nā mele ʻaʻohe mele.
Ua hoʻolaha ka hui i kā lākou ʻano ma ka hōʻike ʻana ma ka UK Top of the Pops chart a hiki i ka No. 1 ma UK me 1992's UFOrb.
Ua mālama ʻo Orb i kā lākou ʻaelike me Island Records ma o 1990s. ʻAʻole i pau kā lākou hui ʻana i ka wā o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i nā hana paʻakikī a hoʻokolohua (Pomme Fritz a me Orbus Terranum).
I ka makahiki 2000, hoʻomaka ka hui e hana me ka inoa ʻenehana Kelemania ʻo Kompakt, kahi i hoʻopaʻa pū ai lākou i ka hana solo a kekahi o nā lālā hui, ʻo Thomas Fellmann.
ʻO Okie Dookie It's The Orb On Kompakt kekahi o nā hoʻokuʻu maʻalahi a maʻalahi o ka hui, i hoʻokuʻu ʻia i ka makahiki 2005.
ʻO 2010 i lawe mai i nā mea hoʻokani i kahi hui kūleʻa me ʻelua mau kānaka koʻikoʻi i ke mele: David Gilmour o Pink Floyd a me Lee Perry, Scratch.
Ua hoʻi ka Orb i ka hōʻailona Kompakt ma 2015 me Moonbuilding 2703 Ad, i hoʻoulu ʻia e ka hip hop. A i ka makahiki 2016, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka album ambient COW / ChillOut, World!.
Ua ukali ʻia nā album ma mua e ka hana leo uila No Sounds Are Out of Bounds.
ʻO ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka noʻonoʻo Ze Orb
Ua hana ʻo Paterson ma ke ʻano he kōkua a ʻenehana no ka hui Killing Joke i ka makahiki 1980. A ua hoʻohuli ʻia ʻo ia e ka pahū ʻana o nā mele hale ʻo Chicago ma ʻEnelani i ka waena o 1980s. Ua komo ʻo ia i kekahi o nā keʻena o ka hui mele ʻo EG Records. ʻO ia ka lepili o Brian Eno ponoʻī.
Ua hoʻopaʻa mua ʻo Peterson ma lalo o ka inoa ʻo Orb me Jimmy Cauti (ka mea i pāʻani ma ka papahana ʻaoʻao Killing Joke Brilliant a ma hope i kapa ʻia ʻo KLF).
ʻO ka hoʻokuʻu mua ʻana o ka duo ma lalo o ka inoa ʻo Orb ʻo ia ka mele hale acid Tripping on Sunshine. Ua ʻike ʻia ke mele ma ka 1988 compilation Eternity Project One.
I Mei 1989, ua hoʻokuʻu ka hui i ka Kiss EP, kahi album mele ʻehā me nā laʻana.
ʻO ia ka manawa i hoʻomaka ai ʻo Paterson e DJ ma Lākana a ua kiʻi ʻo Paul Oakenfold iā ia i loko o ka hui Land of Oz.
Album Rainbow Dome Musick
Aia i loko o ka waihona mele ambient a Paterson ka nui o nā laʻana a me nā hopena leo, mai ka BBC nature recordings a hiki i nā hoʻolaha ākea NASA a me nā hopena kūikawā like ʻole.
Me kēia mau hiʻohiʻona i hui pū ʻia me ke mele o nā mea hoʻokani pila o ka ʻoihana e like me Eno a me Steve Hillage, ua lilo kāna mau hana i mea koho kaulana no ka poʻe aloha papa hula.
I kekahi lā aia ʻo Steve Hillage i loko o ka lumi i ka wā e ʻimi ana ʻo Paterson i kāna album Rainbow Dome Musick.
Ua lilo lāua i mau hoaaloha a hoʻopaʻa pū ʻia: Ua hāʻawi ʻo Hillage i ke kani kīkā i ka hui ʻo The Orb Blue Room. Ua hana ʻo Paterson ma ka album mua o ka papahana System 7 Hillage (a i kapa ʻia hoʻi ma ʻAmelika, 777, ma muli o nā pilikia kope me Apple).
Hoʻololi i ke ʻano o The Orb
Ua lele mua ka Orb i loko o ka hale ambient i ʻOkakopa 1989 me ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o ka WAU a Paterson! / Mr. Modolabel".
ʻO ka 22-minute hoʻokahi A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules from the Center of the Ultraworld ua paʻi koke i nā palapala kiʻi UK i kēlā makahiki.
Ua hoʻohālikelike ʻia ka mea hoʻokahi me ka walaʻau moana a me Minnie Riperton's Loving you. Ua kaulana ka mea hoʻokahi me nā poʻe indie a me nā hui DJ, a ua ʻae iā Paterson lāua ʻo Cowty e hoʻopaʻa hou i ke mele ma Dekemaba 1989 no ka hui ʻo John Peel. (Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kēia mana i ʻelua makahiki ma hope, me ka lua o ka hālāwai o Orb's Peel Sessions).
Aia ʻo Lilly ma ʻaneʻi
I nā makahiki 1990 mua, ua noi ʻia ʻo Paterson lāua ʻo Kauti e Dave Stewart e hoʻohui i kā lāua hoʻokahi ʻo Lilly Was Here. Ua paʻi ke mele i ka UK Top 20 a ua lilo koke nā remix i mea kaulana e like me kā lākou mea kumu.
ʻO Erasure, Depeche Mode, Yello, Primal Scream, a ma luna o 20 mau pūʻulu ʻē aʻe i loaʻa i nā hoʻokupu remix ma mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o Paterson e ʻoki i kāna hana remix ma 1992.
E mālie
Ua hoʻopaʻa ʻo Paterson lāua ʻo Cauti i ka album i ka manawa o 1989-1990, akā i ʻApelila 1990 ua hoʻoholo lākou e hoʻopau i ka hui. ʻO ka haʻihaʻi ʻana ʻo ia ka hopena o ka hopohopo o Paterson e ʻike ʻia ka duo ma ke ʻano he papahana ʻaoʻao KLF ma mua o kahi hui mua.
Ua mahalo ʻo Cauti i nā hāʻawi a Paterson i nā hoʻopaʻa leo a hoʻokuʻu i kahi album nona iho, ʻo Space, i kēlā makahiki.
He manawa pōkole ma hope mai ua hoʻopuka ʻo Cauti i kahi album ambient ʻo Chill Out, i kēia manawa me kāna hoa KLF ʻo Bill Drummond.
I kēia manawa, hana pū ʻo Paterson me Youth (o Killing Joke) ma kahi ala hou, Little Fluffy Clouds. Aia i loko o ke mele nā mea o nā hana a ka haku mele ʻo Steve Reich.
Ua ʻike ʻia ka mea hoʻokahi i Nowemapa 1990, e huki ana i ka huhū o Ricky Lee Jones, ʻo kāna kamaʻilio me Le Var Burton (o ka papahana keiki PBS Reading Rainbow) i hoʻohālikelike ʻia no ka mele mele. Ua hoʻoholo ʻia ka hihia ma waho o ka ʻaha no kekahi kālā.
ʻOiai ʻaʻole i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ka mea hoʻokahi, ua paʻa kona vibe i ka papahele hula.
Nā ʻahamele lanakila
Ma muli o ka haʻalele ʻana o Kauti i ka hui no nā kumu pilikino, ua hoʻoholo ʻo Paterson e hoʻolimalima iā Chris Weston (i kapa ʻia ʻo Thrash no kāna kumu punk a me ka metala o ka mele). He ʻenekini studio ʻōpio ʻo ia i hana ma Little Fluffy Clouds a ua haʻalele i kāna hui mua ʻo Fortran 5.
Ua hoʻokani ola ʻo Orb no ka manawa mua ma hope koke o ke komo ʻana, i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o 1991 ma London's Town & Country 2.
Ua lilo koke ka lanakila ola o ka bana i ko lakou ikaika, e wawahi ana i na palena i hookaawale mua i ke mele uila mai ka pohaku. ʻO ka Orb hōʻike nā mea maikaʻi loa o nā ʻaha mele "maʻamau" a me nā hana hui, me nā hōʻike kukui uila a me nā hiʻohiʻona, a me kahi vibe maikaʻi i ʻike ʻole ʻia i nā pōʻai uila.
ʻO ka Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld
Ua maikaʻi nā mea a pau, akā ʻaʻole i hoʻokuʻu ka hui i kahi album, kahi kaʻa i hoʻohana ʻia e nā mea hoʻokani pila o kēia wā e hana i kahi ʻōlelo e pili ana i kā lākou "I".
I ʻApelila 1991, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻo The Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld ma ʻEnelani e hoʻolaha nui ʻia.
Ma ka waena o 1991, ua pūlima ka hui i kahi ʻaelike e hoʻokuʻu iā Ultraworld ma ʻAmelika, akā ua koi ʻia e hoʻoponopono i ka album i hoʻokahi disk. Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kahi mana XNUMX-disc piha ma US e Island.
Ua huakaʻi ʻo Paterson lāua ʻo Trash i ʻEulopa i ka makahiki 1991 a ua hōʻiliʻili i kekahi mau mea no ka Peel Sessions.
I hoʻokahi mahina ma hope mai, ua hoʻokuʻu ka duo i ka The Aubrey Mixes ma ke ʻano he Kalikimaka kūikawā no nā mea pā. ʻO ka album, kahi hōʻiliʻili o nā remixes me nā tweaks mai Hillage, Youth and Cowthy, ua lawe ʻia i lalo i ka lā o kona hoʻokuʻu ʻana, akā ua hoʻokō ʻia i ka 50 kiʻekiʻe ma UK.
ʻOi loa
I Iune 1992, ua paʻi ka Blue Room hou i ka UK Top XNUMX.
ʻO ka lōʻihi loa ma ka mōʻaukala o ka pakuhi (ma kahi o 40 mau minuke) i loaʻa i ka hui kahi wahi ma Top of the Pops, kahi i noʻonoʻo ai lākou i kahi pāʻani chess a hoʻoluliluli i ko lākou mau lima i ka pahupaʻikiʻi i ka pāʻani ʻana ma hope no ʻekolu mau minuke.
Hoʻokuʻu ʻia i Iulai, ʻaʻole i kālele ʻo UFOrb i ka lewa, akā i nā mea ola e noho ana. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo ka Blue Room kahi hoʻonohonoho kahi e mālama ai ke aupuni US i nā hōʻike o kahi ulia pohihihi 1947 kokoke i Roswell, New Mexico.
Nā kūlana alakaʻi ma nā pakuhi
ʻO ka Assassin hoʻokahi hoʻokahi - i manaʻo mua ʻia e hana ʻia e Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie - i ukali ʻia ma ʻOkakopa a piʻi i ka helu 12 ma nā palapala UK.
ʻO ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o ʻAmelika iā UFOrb ma hope o ʻelua mahina ma hope. ʻO ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o UFOrb ma ʻEnelani me kahi hoʻopaʻa ola o ka hana a ka hui ma London's Brixton Academy ma 1991. Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kēia hana ma ka Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld: Patterns and Textures CD.
Hoʻopaʻa i ka hakakā ʻoihana
ʻOiai ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo The Orb i nā moʻolelo piha piha a me nā remix he nui i ko lākou mau makahiki ʻekolu o ke ola ʻana, ʻo ka hoʻomaka ʻana o 1993 i lawe mai i kahi manawa o ka maopopo ʻole i hala ma mua o hoʻokahi makahiki a me ka hapa. ʻO ka pilikia ʻaʻole ka nele o nā mea; Ua hoʻomau ʻo Paterson a me Trash i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana, akā ua hoʻomaka ʻo Big Life Records i kahi hoʻopaʻapaʻa hoʻopaʻapaʻa e hoʻokuʻu hou i kekahi o nā mele mua.
Ua hoʻoweliweli ka hui ʻaʻole e hoʻokuʻu i nā mea hou a hiki i ka hoʻohiki ʻana o ka lepili iā lākou e hoʻōki i ka hoʻokuʻu hou ʻana a ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia nā kūkākūkā. I ka manawa like, ua hoʻoholo ka duo e haʻalele i kā lākou ʻaelike.
Ma hope o kēlā, hoʻohana ʻo Big Life i ka makahiki 1993-1994. e hoʻopuka hou i ʻelima mau mele ma CD a me kekahi mau hoʻokuʻu ʻē aʻe, e komo pū ana me Little Fluffy Clouds (i paʻi i ka UK Top XNUMX), Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain a me Perpetual Dawn.
Ua hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻo Paterson i kahi ʻaelike honua me Island ma 1993 a hoʻokuʻu iā Live 93 ma hope iki. ʻO ka hoʻonohonoho ʻelua-disc, i kahakaha ʻia ma ka helu 23, ua komo nā hōʻike nui ma ʻEulopa a me Iapana.
Pomme Fritz
Ua hōʻike ʻia ka hoʻokuʻu mua ʻana o ka studio Orb no Island i Iune 1994. ʻO ka album Pomme Fritz kahi mamao loa mai ka hale ambient. Ua hōʻea ʻo Pomme Fritz i ka helu 6 ma nā pakuhi UK, akā ua inaina maoli ka poʻe hoʻohewa i ka hana.
ʻO Pomme Fritz kekahi i hoʻoemi nui ʻia ke kuleana o Chris Weston. I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o 1995, haʻalele ʻo Weston i ka hui e hāʻawi manawa i kāna mau papahana.
Eia naʻe, ma mua o ka haʻalele ʻana o ka duo, ua hui pū lākou no ka hoʻokani ola kaulana loa o ka hui: ma ka bila rave ma Woodstock 2 me Orbital, Aphex Twin a me Deee-Lite.
Ka hana ma hope
ʻO ka mea hoʻokani pila hou ma hope o ka haʻalele ʻana o Weston ʻo Thomas Fellmann. Ma kahi kokoke i ʻekolu makahiki ma hope o UFOrb, ua hoʻokuʻu ka hui hou a hoʻomaikaʻi i kā lākou album studio ʻekolu, ʻo Orbus Terrarum.
ʻO ka Dream, i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma 2007 ma ʻEnelani, i hōʻike ʻia i kahi hoʻololi hou o ka laina; Ua hui pū ʻo Youth a me Tim Bran mai Dreadzone i ka hui. Ua puka mai ka album ma 2008 ma ka inoa ʻAmelika ʻeono Degrees.
I hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope mai, ua puka mai kahi hana hou mai ka Orbsessions series - kahi leo kani i hoʻopaʻa ʻia e Paterson lāua ʻo Thomas Felman. ʻOiai ʻo Plastic Planet ka inoa o ka kiʻiʻoniʻoni, ua kapa ʻia ka LP ponoʻī ʻo Baghdad Batteries.
I ka makahiki 2016, ua hoʻolauleʻa ʻo The Orb i ka makahiki 25th o kā lākou hoʻomaka holoʻokoʻa, Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld, ma ka hana ʻana i ke album holoʻokoʻa ma London's Electric Brixton. I kēlā makahiki hoʻokahi, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo ia i nā hana pōkole, me ka Alpine EP a me ka Sinn Space series.
