The Orb

Deep, murky dub rhythms meet the eccentric vocal improvisations of Lee 'Scratch' Perry. A loose, psychedelic session recorded in the heart of a cosmic storm.

Moments Worth Listening For
The hypnotic, repetitive bassline of 'Fussball' anchoring Lee Perry's stream-of-consciousness sports commentary.
The transition into 'Africa' where the atmosphere opens up into a wide, shimmering electronic vista.
The stark contrast of the instrumental versions, revealing the intricate clockwork of the Orb's dub production.
