The Orb - Abolition Of The Royal Familia: Guillotine Mixes (COOKCD784) CD

The Orb (Alex Paterson and Michael Rendall) release their new album on March 27th. The album features Youth (Killing Joke), Steve Hillage (Gong, System 7), Roger Eno (co-creator of the Apollo album with Brian Eno & Daniel Lanois) & Jah Wobble (PiL, Primal Scream Orb, Invaders of the Heart). The Orb will be supporting the album with a European Tour (dates to be announced) with support from Mad Professor & Don Letts.

Really The Orb should need no introduction by now, but in essence they're a rotating cast of members helmed by Paterson that began in 1988 and still thrives to this day. They were there since UK acid house day one, providing a unique ambient take on the musical milieu and soon rising to chart-topping, huge-venue-headlining prominence. They've released 19 albums plus EPs, singles, compilations and live recordings, influencing countless other musicians along the way.
