the orb - blue room

[basehead617]

used to be my fave group... this still gets under my skin

[MoonDisast]

Wow.... I believe this is how a person see things when they're high. It's accurate, I think.

[Bencrf123]

Blue Room always gives me the goose bumps. From the first time I heard it, way back when music was music...

[knurri]

klassik!!!!

[ramarover]

I had some wonderful adventures through time and space on the good ship Orb back in the early 90's, much respect to the captain, crew, and all the Ladies and Gentlemen who sailed on her ; )

[GeorgeJuisce]

rare shit. thanks

[djtezd]

Astounding! Back in 95 my best mate & I were on top of the mountains on Kirkstone pass overlooking Lake Ullswater watching the summer sunrising whilst this belted from the car stereo. We were still under the influence of doves & Blue Room echoed around the valleys. A moment I'll treasure 'til dead & beyond.

[DudeAvfc]

@djtezd Sounds fuckin superb kid!! what an era! what a tune!

[djtezd]

@DudeAvfc! Yeah! We went to clubs & raves most weekends between 91-96 & The Orb was always our post clubbing soundtrack. I lived in The Lakes back then as I do again now & summertime we'd always pop for a mad adventure around the Lakes post club before we went home to begin the comedown sesh. Astounding Days & truly missed!

[KogaBrigaXTC]

One of the most beautiful videos and music

[ambientdweller]

Re-mixed by Aliens...

[AlexTronic777]

MTV used to be so trippy.

[AnasTangi]

@AlexTronic777 This is VIVA not MTV.

[AnasTangi]

@AnasTangi and yes I know it's acquired by MshitV

[SegaGenesis4100]

Who needs marijuana when you got this! 

[MrJackswan]

People will be goin' wild 'bout it when I'm pretending I'm nuts about techno music. No one will get it. They'll be like, "Damn, what's wrong with this kid, I though he wasn't into this at all." And that will just make it all the more fun.

[deejayalemus]

@MrJackswan meta trolling isn't as clever as you think it is.

Such is the fate of all techno-ish/techno-y music, yet we can all take part in it- not just the most enthusiastic fans. The rest of us can have the fun of playing the part, the semi-satire angle.

"the music was fantastic" : true.

[AlexandraNicolePerez]

The music looks fantastic.

[JordinaryDude]

Anyone know if David Gilmour and Orb's collaboration is any good ?

[ThaMasterOfDisaster2]

Guy's if your into this stuff, Check out 'Carbon Based Lifeforms'. They're fucking fantastic man.

[johnhimes69]

reminds me of sweaty bourbon sex and carpet burn

[IansVivarium]

[conzor9898]

@IansVivarium love you <3

[bluewolfe96]

The awoaowawa was first used by The Dum Club - you make me feel so good check it out its more progressive house dtyle from around 1992 when dance music was still evolving.!

[kerrzo1971]

@bluewolfe96 aisha- the creator, 1986.

[bluewolfe96]

@faisalOrb1

BROKEN LINK....No Longer Works......!

[kerrzo1971]

@faisalOrb1

Would I be right in suspecting that you smoke a lot of dope and read books from the "mind, body and spirit" shelf?

[NoPrEJudice201]

get a grip you nutters you been on that salvia?god lol

[DevotedToNight]

Very Interesting! I first saw them on VH1 Europe channel in "Top 10 Electronic Legends"

[MrUmgajo]

You all got to understand that there is no God ! YOU ARE GOD !

[TripolarProductions]

No God?!?......everything in the universe is outside your head. The brain receives, it doesn't create compared to the endless suns, planets and beyond which exist whether a person is rational, mystical or indifferent in nature.

[NedsMissingTeeth]

@ktyree1 Are you Steve Hilage : )

[NedsMissingTeeth]

It's ironic that for such a futuristic sound, they now look so dated on YT. VHS was great though : )

I love the Orb : )

[pak101ful]

MEG!

[44eelz]

i like the video more than the music

[flugsven]

Have I missed this one???

[chasenote]

WT F is that

[pearldiverrecords]

Great Great Great !!!

[MrJimroyleable]

top band, love them to bits, now in my 40s, and still listening :) search for the orb radio sessions, timeless, still sounds good today :) way ahead of their time, drugs helped to take take you to the ultraworld

[lassielaughs]

@MrJimroyleable in the same boat mate and still loving it

[Sneakytoke]

@MrJimroyleable lol never heard it said so plainly. love this type of music

[p1gpharmer]

timeless music



[B4we4got]

I'm 38 this year. I remember this. Listening to a pirate radio show in Coventry UK where I first heard this. It just has that time-defying quality about it....the thing is though, when I first listened to it all those years ago, I sort of knew that it would defy time. I already knew it would stick. How could that ever be? They are just BRILLIANT. This track especially....

[ThePropertyTours]

true true rossy boyo

[andrjuxa1986]

i like The Orb but i only digg Blue room and Toxygen...

[Lucasimo]

This tune is amazing - The first CD single I ever purchased and the longest one at that - 39 minutes and 58 seconds to be precise.

Best listened to with mushrooms - you discover parts of the tune not heard before...

[MrJimroyleable]

@Lucasimo in 20 years im sure i will still hear things i never heard before :)

[ladyraven30]

Thanks for this!

[Stealthmaster11]

How can anyone dislike THIS song???

[NewEggMe]

lsd is no where near as great as magic mushrooms! sit down

[robbutcher2001]

WOW, old memories of being a kid! LOVE it

[paulyhart]

stylus magazines number 23 most memorable bassline ever

[pastamar]

¿quien quiere minimal ......?

[CaptainBluebear08]

Mankind without substances = inconceivable.

[itskyb]

@TasuLife:  You need to find the 40 minute version. :)

[slecnaema]

This tune, 3 LSDs on board, Timothy Leary's books on hand, this is how I discovered the true meaning of ORB. That's how you discover GOD.

[JamesRism]

@slecnaema sorry mate, there is no God, it's all in your head. Nice.

[stopthesoftkill]

@JamesRism its impossible to say if there is a God or isn't. If there is one, he certainly isnt the angry vengeful figure sitting on a throne and spending all his time judging some stupid ass humans that the religious fantasy books from many years ago all talk about.

[Zartyzzo]

@JamesRism There is no human with omniscience either.

[metronomic1]

@JamesRism There is most definitely a god but it's not a man sitting in the clouds. This all is no accident my blind friend.

[Kriskazam]

@JamesRism :/

[Methanol2000]

@JamesRism Sorry mate, but if you think there's no God: it's all in your head.

[psiPeople]

@JamesRism... sorry my friend... are you talkin about the god of the institutions? yes ,, there is not that kind of god. God is in our heads but also everywhere. Like the moon reflected in many pools.

[nuahsx]

@slecnaema you discover god through hallucinations? are you fucking serious? awesome logic.

[shelzTX]

@slecnaema

i'm almost certain that was well before the wonderful world of youtube came into the pic ❤ ｡◕‿◕｡

[AnemoneAlaundorl]

@slecnaema a huge flashback strucked me after reading these words, wow

[TasuLife]

wow why isn't this song longer it's too good.

[klyshkonizer]

@TasuLife Hey dude it is longer the original is 18 minutes long =)

[thrashie66]

@klyshkonizer

original is 40 minutes long.

@CakeFarmer UPDATE: Beware of Replay Button!

[Radison1337]

trippy video. I wish visualizers in clubs were trippy like this- it would be much more interesting.

[flypoodle]

i love this track - i love the way it sounds as if mermaids are responding to the siren. and yes, i know it's wrong, but it sounds fantastic when you're off your face

[killldaNWO]

35 people did not enjoy lsd

[trillionsofatoms]

LOVE the ORB!!!!!!!

[ZombieSlayer1196]

o_0 wow! ace!

[TheDuke4ever]

[marcandre1966]

quel génie musical ce guilmour!

[bodger17]

you have got me thinking now ...i'm sure it was 93 ... lol

[TheGreatGatxby]

the orb were beautiful fun, and i didn't partake...

[shapeshiftingLizard]

auuaaauuuuuuauuuuuaaaaaaaauaua­uauauaa........

[embfnk107]

I do not need drugs for anything.

But I certainly do enjoy a few.

[rosswatt1979]

still not sure why youtube has a dislike button......who gives a toss if someone dusnae like a tune...they should just piss off and listen to britney if thats what they like

[3SidedSquare]

@rosswatt1979 don't worry mate 99.64% of the viewers like this tune :)

[ACEMontague]

@rosswatt1979 So what if they don't like it, ain't bothering me none.Too busy enjoying the tune. Seriously, people these days are too concerned about others opinions(It was always like that but more obvious...I guess). Also (To everyone) you don't need drugs to enjoys this unless its the only way you can...Let your mind free on your own, it works.

[ItsRudyInnit]

@rosswatt1979 First of all - learn English. Nobody's gonna take you seriously outside of the schemes if you sound like an uneducated tink. Secondly, Britney's farts are more relevant than your existence so I'd advise you to give that some thought next time you decide to talk out your arse about one of the greatest icons in the history of pop culture.

[rosswatt1979]

@ItsRudyInnit Well I aint English ye wee bawbag so go dance naked in front o yer mirror with a brush up yer slack arse.

[ItsRudyInnit]

@rosswatt1979 I said "learn English" not "be English" "ye wee bawbag"! And if you must know I'm Scottish, except unlike you I give the country a good name by knowing how to speak English, which, considering it's the official language, shouldn't be too much to ask.

[JEKAZOL]

@ItsRudyInnit "Britney's farts are more relevant than your existence" Comedy gold.

[ItsRudyInnit]

@JEKAZOL LOL thanks!

[NomadiCortex]

@ItsRudyInnit you

moron

say

no

more.............

[astroman2012]

@rosswatt1979 och aye Ross that's what me and the wee bairns were thinking as we were listening to this and pouring buckfast into our eyes!

[ItsRudyInnit]

@astroman2012 LMFAO!! *isn't worthy*

[stoffenl]

Timeless!

[gamester57]

i remember reading an interview with alex patterson in 1992 where he said that the deep bass sound that kicks in at about 3:05 is a field recording he made in India of an elephant farting that he slowed down....can anyone verify this?

[77naaz]

@gamester57

has anyone verified this yet?? !

[gamester57]

@77naaz  - nope...

[77naaz]

@gamester57

hope we receive enlightenment on this re elephart audio..!

[moshtop]

@gamester57 i really hope that's true

[bigfilmhat]

This is the 39:58 minute version. Love it.

[nancyjulian606]

I feel I must add... an electric blue dolphin in space! That is SO fucking cool!!!

[jusaLOSER]

@nancyjulian606 thats cuz Dolphins DO come from space!!!! "see u later and we enjoyed the fish!" LOL u must know what movie thats from

[jchizick22]

Trance is a way of life, a state of mind, and a way of being. Not just a song or a music genre. Try this song off the live '93 album.....

[nancyjulian606]

@jchizick22 Groovy! That makes me feel a lot better about blowing all my grant money on ecstasy and spending so much time with my cats ;)

[mmmuuufffiiinnnsss]

Drugs didn't help me enjoy this music anymore than i already do. This song or any song by The Orb gets me naturally high, and im pretty far up ;D

And i can't stop beatboxing the mushy sounding beat of this tune to myself, any one else notice that mushy beat? "Ushwi Ushwi....Ushwi Ushwi"

[LogInAnders]

@mmmuuufffiiinnnsss You haven't tried drugs then.

[mmmuuufffiiinnnsss]

@LogInAnders Well, what im saying is that this song is fucking amazing while sober, it kinda freaked me out while intoxicated so i prefer sober listening...

[LogInAnders]

@mmmuuufffiiinnnsss I prefer listening to you when I'm sober, cause you do have a good point.

[colorwheel777]

@LogInAnders check out The Ozric Tentacles if you dig this.....even trippier, absorb...

[LogInAnders]

@colorwheel777 Thank you!

[Lifeinthemix]

Drugs....good grief is this drug music?

[cheyaura]

Charlie says if you're thinking of taking drugs just say no. Join the army instead make an impact with your life by killing people and help solve the over-population crisis. Trust me you don't need an introspective journey or philosophical wisdom.. It will leave you drooling on yourself in a corner of a room repeating the word why for several decades. Just carry on; there is nothing to see here.. trust your government war is peace, greed is good.. Drugs are bad.!!

[SpaceTasteMedical]

Hey Tony ... Tony? I think I'm coming up - Tony?

[poolryhm]

This is one of the masterpieces of mankind!

There is so much to say about this track, Orb and Ultraworld that I can't put it all here. Still, I've been tripped in space and Ultraworld while listening to this and other tracks of Orb.

To my big surprise I saw blue rooms in this video - very similar to those in my homepage blue-room-part which I made by myself using Windows98 screensaver print-screens some 5 or more years ago. I haven't seen this video before today.

[GBlazer420]

i was told this was an aphex twin playlist

[Wachiga]

32 People are in a black room all by themselves

[x33Hannah33x]

I actually dont like the fact that drugs have to be mentioned on almost every atmospheric/ambient song like this.. but whatever floats your boat.

[erictheviking871]

@x33Hannah33x you are right,but it is ideal music too experiment with the effects good drugs have . i my self have enjoyed many nights at ambient events on various substances but slow and steady. but you can also enjoy this wonderouse music without drugs which i have also done many times

[lyubichi]

Siren warns of Antichrist war, Strange rhythms beat within my heart, My sense of salvation flies through the window, My sense of being loved falls through the floor. My heart is blue with heavy thoughts, My eyes are blue with the evil I see, My mind is blue with what’s happened to me, My body is blue from lack of sleep, My blue thoughts lie piled in a heap, A strange refrain sings all through the day, A strange beat haunts me along the way.

[damnyourpasswords]

@lyubichi  thank you

[Weebigballs]

do you ever get that feeling when your high its feels like the music is you and is coming off of you well i have and i felt awsome!!! :D

[shaktimandan]

This tune, LSD and 50,000 people @ Glasto in 1992.

Magic

[alablama]

@shaktimandan I was born in 1992!

[bodger17]

@shaktimandan that was 1993 mate , i was there too ... and the dots where amazing ... ;)

[bodger17]

@shaktimandan that was 1993 mate , i was there too ... and the dots where amazing ... ;)

so much better than the crap thats about now !

[shaktimandan]

@bodger17 93 it was :)

92 was the year it was cancelled right?

To many years ago for my feeble memory to handle!

[ambientdweller]

@shaktimandan and 94!!!

[nmg18ismuzik]

Hey Orb fans check out metallicpheres website to pre order the new album featuring David Gilmour of Pink Floyd. There is also a making of video you can watch too!

[witchman1]

As bad as this sounds, when I did mushrooms while on stage( musician here) this makes me remember how my di*k felt.

[Unell08]

orbital for eva!!!

[Derek70214]

the best come downs end with this tune.

[cadanmccann]

this group is fucking amazing

[irishelk1]

,,,,,,,Jesus that is incredible

[alexxpacificifilms]

the orb + ecstasy = great

[potshotjoe]

Tha top ov the pops live version ov this is awesome...

they both just sit n play chess on stage wiv this playin lmao..

n think this broke tha single record for length ov time..they got it up to 35mins+ :-O

[pakkiblack]

bet you wish you could go back to the 90s when pluto was still a planet

[Steveypoos]

This used to give me the shits. I used to imagine myself alone in a large complex of some kind. The sirens would indicate some sort of emergency, but everyone was dead. The the female sample indicated an alien presence near by.

I was drunk on Diamond White at the time.

[diaspora101]

Love this wee tune.... I was never one to take drugs (or at least, anything trippy or too mind-altering) although the Pandora comparison has at least given me some insight :-P

Excellent song, thanks for putting it up :-D

[kmp3000]

Reminds me of doing mushrooms...

[outofaspell]

Song takes me way back...now that i look at the video it makes me think of what would happen if you ate a magic mushroom on Pandora lol! Great song!

[extracredit100]

im freaking out maaaaaan....

[stevieakelly2002]

I would like to point out that taking drugs is illegal.

You do not need drugs to enjoy this song.

However it does sound even better when you're fucked

[CowBellFever]

@stevieakelly2002 the orb is beyond the law, and to some the orb is law

[bytesabre]

@CowBellFever The orb is beyond the laws of reason and consciousness.

[DeDieuAntique]

@stevieakelly2002 It is not illegal.

[jumpy666666]

@DeDieuAntique taking drugs isn't illegal you're right

[jumpy666666]

@stevieakelly2002 yeah you don't need drugs to enjoy this music but i always thought that you must on sth to do that kind of music which can be recognized as a sacrifice to the art

[bernhj]

@stevieakelly2002

why would you point that out? not all drugs are illegal anyways. there are tons of legal analogues better than half the shit you'll find on the street.

[disc0lars]

@stevieakelly2002 totally this makes me wanna get ripped ;)

[psyne000]

@stevieakelly2002 ahahahahah...that made me chuckle.

[ofreaky1]

when her voice kicks in...oh so sweet...then the train comes at the end... this song has taken me so many places...friggin' love it...been years since I hear it...I have a 35 min version - somewhere

[eagled96]

blue room was (or still is?) the longest single when released in british chart history. 42mins i think. reminds me of chillin in the mid '90's.

god what awesome times!

[alaphize]

Still best gig I ever witnessed @Glastonbury 1991 ;P

[Xephon212]

@cureyed3 You just listed all my favorite acts. Here have a digital beer on me.

[JonMcElectro]

The 1992 Totps performance of that Song was them playing Chess along to the Music wasn't it?

[MrJipster]

This song reminds me of Eurotrip

[StumpCatcher]

what color were the Aliens/

[Metallicat100]

Fantastic, amazing.

[yesitsme15]

Did they play with your todger..
