[BigStickyNugs]

best tripping soundscape EVER

[forwardbias]

You have pop music, that sux, and then you have original, artistic music, like this... From Pink Floyd, Orb, to harder electronic-industrial stuff like Grendal, all I can say is that electronic pwns...From trance, gothic, slow electro, industrial, EBM, I love synths.

[mrsqonk]

@forwardbias Don't forget the ozrics in that also matey...

[Hepatox]

very nice, "the best of the orb" one of my favourite albums of all live,  toxigen, littlefluffy clouds, my personal favourite: pomme fritz, blue room, assasin chocolate hills of bohol.

deam hell this really comes from ultraworld.

lovely

[TheLewis1745]

I am high and this is great thankyou

[dormandont]

need my 90s back !

[fantasticdesert]

I love the orb and all that they stand for and represent. Seen them live a few times, everyone just falls in love with each other. You just don't want it to end

[TruMalu4Life]

props to GTA 4 TBoGT for putting this in the game....I could drive around Liberty City for hours and not kill nobody when this song is on the radio...LOL

[IamNick2k11]

@TruMalu4Life So you would kill somebody ;) Double negative !

[thegroove2000]

@solidsoundwaves The one and only Minnie Ripperton.

[thegroove2000]

Purple ohms.

[BigStickyNugs]

@thegroove2000 Oh yeah, baby. Meltdown!

[bestfire2004]

This and Plateau are amazing musical pieces. All time best!

[CursorBuddy23]

Whoa

[darkano1965]

me encanta the orb y especialmente esta cancion atmosferica

[xxMikeTheAlienwarexx]

this it creaping me out.

[JurisicSantiago]

@xxMikeTheAlienwarexx Why is that mate? Let your brain and feelings flow with this tune, it's magic!

[pcworld88]

I dont know whats that, I just typed on google pulsating and it came..

[GizmoLico]

this reminds me of ashra

[nexuspexus]

This is my favourite track of all time. It's fucking magical.

[mushroomsarepoo]

the amount of time on a Sunday after the mad 48hours previous we would be zombied out, not able to move and drfting in and out of conciousness to the ORB, they are pretty good memories. Looks like most of us survived unlike the media predictions, scare tactics of the day!!

[KingKennyRules]

I remember being ABSOLUTELY wrecked the first time I heard this version.......WOW !!! Undoubtedly one of the best tunes ever written.....

[monkefoahead]

mint

[808CUTIEgirl]

6:15-7:35 my favorite part

[WilliamC24]

The title is so long, I wonder if Panic at the Disco helped them name it.

[chanc8r38]

a fantastic trip i love it all happy days, then and now, shivers to take these tunes in.

[deadmau5suckz]

thumbs up if ballad of gay tony version is much better..

[mewsez]

Ahead of its time... heard it in 1991 first. ever since been an Orb fan.

[Argiflex]

I may be the only one, but the "loving you" sample just doesn't seem to fit at all.

[roddickw77]

@Argiflex yeah your the only one

[Argiflex]

@roddickw77 I sure hope that's sarcasm.

[JurisicSantiago]

@Argiflex I find quite annoying lady Riperton's voice

[ferrecca]

would love to get my hands on a copy of the aubrey mixes think there was a limited rn of that album, lost my original on cassette no less lol, got a copy mixed with pink floyd, AWESOME

[crazyjonhere]

great album to listen to on acid horsing on a fully stacked reffa ahh they were the days

[Bollo2]

@deadmau5suckz thou are deaf

[se7enHuss]

yeah i was going through some vinyls my brother left here and i found "the orb, peel session october 1990" its got pulsating brain, fourth dimension, back side of moon and.... and nothing pulsating brain goes for 20 mins wtf! i had no idea what this was 5 minutes ago and was going to throw it out! lucky some one posted this vid on you tube

[neoclassicatfish]

@JurisicSantiago Exactly. 

[rbh1138]

Lay down on your bed. Close your eyes and listen. You'll drift off into sleep and dream of flying through space. Or have horrible, horrible, nightmares. Either way, its going to be something you remember. lol

[efcbabe71]

Revenge 3, June 1990 - 8am, sunny as - cock a doodle doo indeed. Oh happy happy memories. Beautiful beautiful warehouse party.

[jproctor1978]

nice thing with this is that it sounds 10/10 played by itself and also sounds 10/10 mixed in with 126bpm oldschool techno / rave ... incredible, would like to make music like myself but it would be very hard unless without distractions!

[3lullabies]

the orb is just so great.blue room and and so many great grooves with soothing minimal beats and sublime structure.i think that people that dont like abstract/psychadelic music dont have a good sense of timing and rythym so they get lost and hear only chaos.

[jproctor1978]

@3lullabies try to mentally "pull out" every every other note and you get a deep undercurrent melody... heavy... I might try remixing this lol

[vxphsycoxv]

GTA

[khalidz0]

OMG !!!! MASSIVE, FANTASTIC, EPIC !!!!

[forwardbias]

I love this song...

[forwardbias]

This song is just amazing, love it...The few people that knew of Orb thought of me as a freak though. *sigh* They had a listen of Orb: Oblivion, and thought the CD was damaged...

[neoclassicatfish]

Someone needs to make music like this now.

(Gorillaz being the best bet.)

[neoclassicatfish]

how few things Orb is used for (Soundtracks, other stuff.)

[neoclassicatfish]

@VelocityDJ Drugs can ruin your life. Most probably they will. This song makes me realize that the world is a happy place depending on how you take it. If you take the earth as a nice place it becomes one. If you take it as horrible and demeaning, it's horrible and demeaning. A Huge Evergrowing Pulsating Brain That Rules From The Centre Of the Ultraworld is a perfect song for realizing that earth is both happy and sad. anyways, this song is fantastic and I'm so glad I found it. I'm surprised

[JurisicSantiago]

@neoclassicatfish I don't agree about the drugs thing, but it's just an opinion don't take it personally.

IMO, drugs can or can not ruin your life, that depends on who takes them. I knew a guy (not a friend of mine, friend of friend) who died because an overdose on cocaine, my friend told me he was devastaded, and he ruined his life as you say. Although, I know people who do drugs like cocaine on a regular basis, but when they know they're crossing the line, they quit doing it for some time. Cya

[gilmourtheman]

reminds me of Tangerine Dream.

[CopyriteInfringement]

fuck you youtube for not allowing videos longer than 10 minuets....way to destroy art you cunts... good job this song is so relaxing, otherwise i'd be tossing a bomb in your place youtube.

[brismike65]

I"m just glad Alex still tours, maybe not often certainly not been to Australia since 2008, but their stuff is amazing. Will be interesting to hear their work with David Gilmore

[tie32101]

My favorite Orb song! Along with "Blue Room"

[MountAnalogue]

I realy want to smoke a J and listen to this.

[ldjx1000]

@MountAnalogue Your not the only one :D

[Pitra212121]

This song is so so boss.

Excuse perhaps the inelegance of those words, but really, an uplifting, incomparable mastery of ambient beauty.

Now, on to Part Two!

[karimamilena]

just found "The Orb - Peel Sessions" recently in my place. On that CD this track lasts a bit more than 20! minutes! Love it so much!! Aaaah, good old 90s......

[flea288]

The 18.49 one is the best, I love it. Fluffy Clouds, and Blue Room (40minute version) also fantastic. "Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld" is such a fantastic album. "Spainish Castles in Space" such atmosphere, and "Supernova At the End of the Universe" a great space out track. "Backside of the Moon" very similar to this as well. Fantastic album, really underrated and under-appreciated, really did a lot for the genre.

[Bollo2]

@flea288 I use to get very far with my mind on Spanish Castles In Space, also I love all the mentioned

[flea288]

@Bollo2 Yeah, you can completely submerge yourself into their songs. Especially of Ultraworld. This may sound cheesey, but I find listening to the entire album on a warm summer night, in the middle of a park or own backyard with complete peace, looking at the stars is the complete way to listen to this album.

I've never touched on such melodic ambience again. Obviously I've looked into it, with the likes of Biosphere and Tim Heckler. Probably Future sound of London. Orb are the best though.

[Bollo2]

@flea288 Wow I completely agree with both the things you said. This album and most of FSOL's discography are my choice for dreaming away!

[TheMsShuy]

@flea288 Sounds awesome

[jproctor1978]

@flea288 not cheesy at all mate, very very sound idea & will recommend it to as many as possible!

[muziqaz]

@flea288 Try Yagya, dark ambient, also very beautiful, but yeah, The Orb is something different and amazing ;)

[Roj475]

Has anyone heard the hard dance set by The Orb? Saw them live in Bristol a couple of years back at the Trinity centre and managed to get a chat with Alex too! Signed t-shirt. Absolute legend.... Thankfully did not ask about Jimmi :D

[KamiKazeBliss]

Fantastic!

[panikghost]

The Orb... Ambient masters .. clasik sounds ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡......

[radiodarkhorse]

Utterly fantastic!

[alanmk5]

[ectowle]

This selection contains a sample of 1967-1969 Mercury Records' Rotary Connection bandmember Minnie Ripperton's 1975 Epic "Lovin' You"

SAMPLE=MASH-UP(RIP_BURN_HACK + ETC. of the same meaning).

[DerangedRanger1]

@ectowle The tools for making this sort of collage were very different when this song was made. It wasn't simply cut and paste into a nice graphic display on your PC. The technique used to make this music were using samplers to collect sounds, sequencers to generate loops, and a mixing board to control the dubbing. And even though it was much more difficult, we can still look at the creativity. The Orb took sounds from everywhere and articulated them in a way relevant to early 90s rave culture.

[austinzeppelin]

o.o I like how they have the PF Animals cover in the background ;D

[PromiserOfDeath]

@austinzeppelin Its an awesome song!

[Wiikiller102]

I want to die to this song.

[machanalan]

i own this album this is the best tune on it

[ectowle]

@machanalan

That;s right !

[montg2perfection]

what a wierd song.

[itskyb]

I love this version of the song!

[astralplane47]

anyone got the aubrey mixes album....heard it in uni 16 years ago and its amazing, but rare apparently

[dave55811]

Wait a minute! The 8-minute one I downloaded doesn't sound like the one from Gay Tony! Shit......and Amazon won't let me download the song without downloading the whole album which is over $20. God damn, y'all.

[dave55811]

I'm downloading the 8-minute version which includes lyrics from "Loving You"; I heard the version from The Ballad of Gay Tony. It's a pleasant, mesmerizing song that feels good to listen to. There's an 18-minute version but apparently that costs almost $20. So I'm gonna wait on that, to say the least.

Thanks for uploading this song, nonetheless. :D

[Bollo2]

@dave55811 you're welcome!

btw consider the possibility of getting the album, maybe a used copy of the original CD/vinyl, which would cost more or less the same. It's worth buying coz this isn't the only masterpiece song on it!

[felixader]

@dave55811 There is a download version of the album for 9 something-something bucks on amazon.

[Nugugerube]

@dave55811 The whole album is available for $20 on Itunes.

[USEPartyPeople]

@dave55811 just download it with a torrent silly. it's free

[soundsbuzzme]

This band, and this track, made acid a great experiance for me...long time ago :)

[sex6cult9revolution]

When this came out, it was the bomb. Still sounds great.

Thinking back, I wasn't too up on "house" at the time, but people were talking about the new "ambient" and I remember thinking "we already got Eno" - but this was something WAY different. More lush and on the upbeat tracks, way more fun.

This track is also a mash-up - if you consider the use of Minnie's "Lovin' You".

[MrMoterKid]

Hypnotizing song. Made me fall asleep for a second.

[BrentChettle]

Best reggae on side b too! The screaming jet sounds are so memorable that I remember the tape, alongside the rest of the lower main street from back then after 2:59am.

[VelocityDJ]

This is better than drugs. And with drugs i doesnt get any better. Life seems so beautiful while listen to this. Like there´s absolutley nothing to be afraid of. Just live and die and remember to take life for what it is.

[MountAnalogue]

@VelocityDJ Sorry I have to disagree. Tripping on L is waaaaaaaaaay more of an intensely beautiful and tantalizing experience than listening to this. You realize half he people who go to Orb live shows are probably on some sort of hallucinogen when they're there, right? Psychedelics free your mind. Music and psychedelics are the best things to put together. The Shamans did it in South America.

[VelocityDJ]

@MountAnalogue If you read my comment once more you will get what I mean. I dont choose drugs before music but i prefeer to use drugs while im listening to it.

[GodlessMartyr666]

@VelocityDJ there is alot to fear , but human fears don't even begin to accomplish what true fear must be.

[VicariousReality7]

@VelocityDJ Did you just tell me to die?

[gary71gary]

@VelocityDJ Yeh it does, what planet you from?

[callicolady]

shit! damn it!......i can't find my fuckin Rizlas.....still sounds amazing without a joint though lol

[CelticProgeny]

Opens doors.....

[FelixAtagong]

one of the ambient masterpieces...

[weemitch74]

old school!!! brilliant, love it

[mat3349]

you got a link tht i can download this from??????

[milanstewsexyy]

this plus shroooms is one fucking amazing time hahaa

love the song alone though of course its beautiful

[phoenixcube]

john peel played this back-to-back with a tangerine dream track from the early 70's. it was hard to tell where one finished and the other started. Timeless and amazingly beautiful...

[faction455]

This, towers of dub, and little fluffy clouds... Blew my mind wide open as a teenager.

RIP Andy Hughes :(

[letsbeone]

Phew. THE come down track. Peace out to all. x

[marty11112222]

so trew funny as fuck mate nice comment!

[housedamnrock]

the best ever.

[marcgindratt]

This song is so beautiful. I think that this is the best ambient song ever.  I can listen to this all day & all night long.

[gkd108]

Oh yes!!!! Thank you my friend, i was looking for this on youtube before. I used to have the 12 inch but got rid of my records years ago. I used to trip out to this one back in......when was it again?

[Psychoeyes83]

The best chillout track of all, will send you to sleep in no time at all.

[hexenhuisje]

I agree , best version...makes it very deep..not everything needs a beat....

[Princeben07]

This is the BEST Version. The orb BLEW UP with this track ALONE!!

[ectowle]

@Princeben07

The live version does not hold a candle to the original heard here : The Orb - A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules From The Centre Of The Ultraworld (parts 1+2)

[Jarmanz4]

Good stuff man
