On its latest album, Cydonia , the Orb surveys the ancient Martian marvel of the same name, appropriate for a band whose history is rife with UFO references and close encounters of the stoned kind. However, despite the otherworldly, exploratory sounds implied, Cydonia breaks little new ground.
Tracks vary in velocity and originality, though almost all are competent.
Recently, frontman Dr. Alex Paterson took to the road, riding the wheels of steel as the opening DJ on the Juno Reactor tour. Paterson's set, for the most part, consisted of somewhat jaggedly mixed classic tracks from the early to mid-'90s. Cydonia conjures a similar sense of scattered nostalgia. The huge, ever-growing pulsating brain behind the Orb now throbs a bit more demurely, but it still has a heart, albeit beating for '93. Inc. All rights reserved.
