About

Founded in 1988 by Alex Paterson and KLF member Jimmy Cauty, The Orb began as ambient and dub DJs in London. Their early performances were inspired by ambient and electronic artists of the 1970s and 1980s, most notably Brian Eno and Kraftwerk. The Orb virtually invented the electronic genre known as ambient house, resurrecting slower, more soulful rhythms and providing a soundtrack for early-morning ravers once the clubs closed their doors. The Orb's critical and commercial success peaked in the early 1990s with their albums ‘The Orb's Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld’ and ‘U.F.Orb’, which reached #1 on the UK Albums Chart in 1992. Their visually intensive performances have prompted many critics to compare The Orb to Pink Floyd.
