The Orb get the heroes treatment

Dr. Alex Paterson and Thomas Fehlmann get the heroes treatment by DJKiRA, with a 14 track mix dedicated to their finest productions.

Listening to this all the way through, you are reminded of The Orb’s unbelievable talent as well as their influence on the ambient/IDM genre, with classic tracks such as ‘Little Fluffy Clouds’, ‘Back Side of The Moon’ and ‘A Huge Ever Pulsating Brain…’ sounding as unique and refreshing as their release 15-20 years ago.

I’m loving that DJ KiRA used the Cumulo Nimbus Remix of Little Fluffy Clouds . This remix is the one reason i listen to ‘Cafe Mambo 99′ almost every week since buying it on a dodgy stall in Ibiza 11 years ago (blimey that’s a long time…)

Thanks to e:klänge for the heads-up.

Also, as a little bonus treat, I have dug out my mp3 of ‘A conversation with Rickie Lee Jones’, which The Orb sampled in ‘Little Fluffy Clouds’. Took me a while to hunt this down a few years ago, so listen back and download the defining element of one of the greatest chill-out tracks of all time…

And whilst we are on the Orb trip, James Bailey kindly pointed out a classic ‘Live Blueroom’ mix which you can download here (Rapidshare d/l). A tad mysterious in its origin, and with no tracklist, it seems like the mix was not part of The Orb’s ‘Blue Room’ single, but instead a mix put together for Chris Coco and Rob Da Banks ‘Blue Room’. If you know otherwise, or can hunt down a tracklist, then please put both me and James out of our misery!

Enjoy your Orb-fest.
