Popis - BAGHDAD BATTERIES:..:
There's always been two quite contrasting sides to The Orb's centrifugal epicentre Dr Alex Paterson.
One is the purveyor of hook-ridden songs laden with vocal toppings or memorable samples, as heard
on last year's delightful collaboration with Youth and Tim Bran, The Dream, which Alex describes as
'pop'. The other is more serious, focusing primarily on the sound itself, noticeably rearing in the mid-
90s almost as a reaction to The Orb's initial success on under-rated masterworks like Orbus
Terrarum.
The album is the third volume in Malicious Damage's ongoing Orbsessions series, but whereas the
previous two were compiled from nuggets trawled from the vaults, these are new tracks recorded at
Thomas' Berlin studio, which also provide the soundtrack for Austrian director Werner Boote's film
Plastic Planet.
