For many, the soft soundtrack to the afterparty is as vital a part of the clubbing experience as the body-moving peak, and when dance music exploded in the UK, ambient rooms at raves were part of their makeup.
Backed by their classic LP The Orb’s Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld and a residency in the ambient rooms at Paul Oakenfold’s The Land of Oz parties, The Orb became an important counterpoint to the likes of Oakenfold, Danny Rampling and Andrew Weatherall, and remain one of the most beloved ambient acts from the UK.
With the release of their album, The Abolition of the Royal Family, founding member Alex Paterson leads us on a Sunday afternoon trip through classic chill-out sounds.
