Few artists have created such visionary and influential electronic music as Alex Paterson and his various incarnations of The Orb. The Orb's blissed-out music helped define the emerging ambient-techno/house genres blending natural sounds, spoken-word, dub bass lines and constantly shifting beats with a sense of humor, rolling rhythms and exhilarating samples to revolutionise UK dance clubs and '90s rave culture.

Now after the resounding success of the earlier limited edition, Malicious Damage is proud to re-release this glorious first volume of Orb treasures from Alex Paterson's spherical archives.

Covering fifteen years of conspiracy and collaboration with some of the biggest names in electronic music including Jimmy Cauty (The KLF, Transit Kings), Andy Hughes, Thomas Fehlmann, Nina Walsh, Fil le Gonidec, Vincent McDonald, Guy Pratt, Dom Beken and Aki Omori.
