The Orb have been central to electronic musicās evolution since the late ā80s, yet their commitment to expanding consciousness puts them in the lineage of the psychedelic pioneers of even earlier generations. The groupās mastermind and sole constant member, Alex Paterson, was born in London in 1959 and found his calling as the rave scene blossomed around him. In chillout rooms, he would mix NASA recordings and sound effects with Krautrock and the trippier end of acid house; his productions followed suitācosmically inclined, unexpected in their influences, and occasionally audacious in their ambitions. The Orbās 1989 debut single, āA Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules from the Centre of the Ultraworld,ā sprawled to 19 minutes; three years later, theyād hit the UK Top 10 with the 39-minute āBlue Room,ā which proceeded more like a DJ mix than a song. Over the years, Paterson has fleshed out the lineup with a rotating cast of contributorsāThe KLFās Jimmy Cauty, prog guitarist Steve Hillage, German techno veteran Thomas Fehlmannāalong with high-profile guests like dub legend Lee āScratchā Perry and Pink Floydās David Gilmour. While ambient trends have waxed and waned over the decade, The Orb have remained true to their belief in the transporting power of atmospheric sound.
