New Orb remix - Killing Joke

Killing Joke is releasing remix compilation titled "In Dub". Here's info from their page:

Youth has created a new Killing Joke release entitled Killing Joke: In Dub. He has written…

“I first discovered Dub in 1976, along with many other kinds of music it became the soundtrack to my late teenage years and consistent through the rest of my life. We were surrounded by Dub in Ladbroke Grove in the late 1970’s…. This is the first time a collection of Killing Joke’s Dub mixes has been released as an album, spread over 3CD’s (as well as a 40 minute bonus DJ Mix) over four hours of Dub annihilation…it has been an epic voyage. Compiling the best of the legacy and distilling all new Dub plates into a definitive collection was never going to be easy. This album has taken over a year to lovingly put together and of all of the many productions and mixes I have been fortunate enough to have been involved with, this one, I’m sure, will be one of those that tells the story best and the one that makes me feel extremely proud to be a part of the phenomena that is Killing Joke."

Killing Joke: In Dub is available as digital download, 3CD set and as a special 3LP/1CD set, which includes a bonus 40min DJ Set featuring tracks from the album. Alongside these album formats, there are some exclusive merch items and bundles to be had.

The album will be released digitally to all pledgers as soon as 100% is reached and all physical items will be shipped out asap thereafter.

The set will contain new Orb remix: European Super State (The Orb Vs Youth Remix) (Church Of The Open Sky & Holy Fool Dub).

New remix coming soon

The Orb has remixed The Gyuto Monks of Tibet. The remix will be available on their album Chants: The Spirit of Tibet. I don't know the release date. Info from FB.

New track, new remixes and more

"Spending time with Lx and co at Chew-A-Thon 2 I got some info I wanted to share with you:

a) Two days prior to the event Youth sent Lx a new remix of Little Fluffy Clouds called "Chant Mix". Lx was surprised to receive it, so this remix is not planned for some future release as far as I know.

b) Lx played an unreleased The Orb track from way back called "1994" during those 36 hours.

c) There's a stop motion video from the event : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqKwmfzvdAo

d) The Orb's remix of Primal Scream's "Shine Like Stars" was given me by Lx to use exclusively on this comp:

Another mysterious remixes & Alex' collaboration

Aaron Miles has pointed out that KLF Communications site is listing 4 Orb remixes I have never heard of:

Run of Run DMC - Praise my DJ's (Orb Mix) 4:15
Scott Brown - Johnny (Orb Mix) 2:08
Subsonar - Stand Strong (Orb Duat Remix) 8:10
Red 5 - Life Me Up (Orb's Up Remix) 5:39

Discogs lists only Red 5 mix, but claims that it was made by some other Orb, not ours. Don't know if it's true or not.

And also some sources claim that album All in a Day by hip-hop artist Backyard Dog features guest appearance not only by Alex Paterson, but also "by the late Kirsty MacColl, Steve Hillage, the Beloved and Jeremy Healy's Easy Posse."

If you have more info about these facts, let me know.

Liquidator Chelsea Mix (HFB vs The Orb)

Strange track called 'Liquidator Chelsea Mix (HFB vs The Orb)' is available as a free mp3 on iLike.com. Get it here.

New Orb album news + The Orb has remixed Transmission

Info from Malicious Damage:

"THE ORB: BAGHDAD BATTERIES {orbsessions vol iii}

this is all mixed, mastered and being manufactured at the moment... it's all
brand new material from alex paterson and thomas fehlmann, it'll be released on july 6th and here's a slice of the press release: "... the good Doctor sets the controls beyond any Earthly confines and gets down to stratospheric sound painting and advanced sonic science, sprinkled with an avant garde disregard for conventional structures. These startling electronic odysseys are hatched with long-time collaborator Thomas Fehlmann, The Orb's Berlin connection who's been there from the first album and last made his towering presence felt on 2005's Okie Dokie album for the renowned Kompakt label, bastion of Berlin techno. Such is the case with Baghdad Batteries where the pair have injected some of these breathtaking outings with a subterranean house pulse beamed up from the Earth's core, resulting in a new form of space disco which sounds as old as time itself while brushed with the most future-pointed minimal techno shadows..."

TRANSMISSION

we're releasing dance alone from the sublimity album as a download single on may 11th... it's accompanied by 3 remixes including a killer orb remix [THE LEGEND OF A VISITING ORB, FROM ANOTHER TIME & SPACE]"

Some older releases

The Orb has made a very nice mix for Resident Advisor (released 8 Jan 2009). The page also contains interview with Youth. You can download the mix for free from here (it's not available from Resident Advisor site anymore). The tracklisting is not given, but I was able to reveal most of the tracks, so it goes like this:

1. Ulf Lohmann - Audrey (4:05)
2. Ulf Lohmann - Kristall (3:50)
3. unknown (3:48)
4. The Orb - The Forest of Lyonesse (0:21)
5. Andrew Thomas - I Am Here Where Are You (3:42)
6. The Orb - Snow Bow (2:03)
7. Gas - Gas 1 (9:46)
8. Klimek - Sun(rise) (4:14)
9. Köhncke/Heimermann - Albatros (8:03)
10. Thomas Fehlmann - With Oil (3:04)
11. Ulf Lohmann - Nicht die Welt (2:22)
12. Markus Guentner - Chrom (6:41)
13. Ulf Lohmann - Audrey (4:10)

Most of the tracks are taken from various Pop Ambient compilations. Track 3 is still a mystery to me. If anyone knows what is it - let me know.


Paterson has also returned to make remixes. Last year we were able to have remix for Infadels (made by Alex and Tim Bran): Circus of the Mad (orb remix) (5:40) released on A Million Pieces single (details) and a mix available on Verve//Christmas Remixed compilation. It's track 5: Louis Armstrong - What A Wonderful World (the orb remix) (5:31) (details - made by Alex and Thomas Fehlmann). Both mixes are totally different - Infadels one is in The Dream fashion and Armstrong is more Okie Dokie-ish.
