Buddhist Hipsters

The Orb

A sprawling, collaborative odyssey of deep dub and celestial ambient. Lush textures meet spiritual undertones in a seventy-minute drift through space and time.

It's like floating in a sensory deprivation tank that's somehow also a dub club in outer space.

A serene and expansive journey that balances deep-earth vibrations with weightless celestial beauty.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition at the midpoint of Spontaneously Combust where the rhythmic pulse dissolves into a shimmering wall of Roger Eno's piano.
The way the deep dub bassline in Khàron interacts with the mournful violin of Violetta Vicci during the final movement.
Steve Hillage's glissando guitar cutting through the dense electronic fog of Baraka like a beam of light.
