orbus terrarum

Released in 1995, The Orb&#8217;s brilliant Orbus Terrarum is both the pinnacle of the fashionable early 90s ambient-electronic scene, and yet also a timeless album that manages to transcend most of the stereotypical tags that came with that scene.
Much more organic sounding than most of their earlier work, the album certainly [...]]]></description>

Although Grandaddy&#8217;s 2000 album, The Sophtware Slump, is considered by many critics to be their chef d&#8217;œuvre, their follow up to it is often criminally underrated - despite (or perhaps, because of?) it being a much more enjoyable and fun listening experience.
Whereas The Sophtware Slump was a dark and difficult listen, Sumday is [...]]]></description>

Hailing from New Zealand, High Dependency Unit (HDU) have been exploring the extremes of the sonic palette since 1994. Having described themselves as ambient psychedelic punk, the majority of their music is instrumental, and based around the interplay of core threesome Tristan Dingemans (guitars, occasional vocals), Neil [...]]]></description>

Fan Modine is the project of American musician Gordon Zacharias. Apparently, Slow Road to Tiny Empire is a concept album of sorts, and yet even upon numerous listens, it certainly isn&#8217;t a laborious or overbearing concept. Apparently, this was initially meant to be the soundtrack to a film [...]]]></description>

Look past the horrible orange blazoned across the album cover. Thank god the music isn&#8217;t anywhere near as dated as the artwork. Once you get past that, and actually listen to the album, you&#8217;ll have to make just as much effort again to actually get into this album. When [...]]]></description>
