Orbus Terrarum is the third studio album of electronic music artist The Orb released on Island Records on the 4th of April 1995. Before leaving The Orb, member Kris Weston had begun work on Orbus Terrarum. However, when he left The Orb, German producer Thomas Fehlmann joined as a full-time studio member. The Orb, now consisting of Alex Paterson, Andy Hughes, and Fehlmann, finished producing Orbus Terrarum.
The perfect response to a music scene swamped by what Paterson himself called "lame ambient noodling for 70 minutes," Orbus Terrarum brings the mothership back to earth for a collision with some surprisingly harsh percussion and noisy synth. The melodies and dub lines of previous Orb recordings are still in the mix, and the esoteric bent of Pomme Fritz is muted somewhat. Orbus Terrarum is definitely not the place to start, but it's still a worthy successor to .
The Orb do something very unusual here, they create an organic sounding ambient album. The result is an earthy mesmerizing album that sounds like the dense thickets of a jungle. 1. 5mo. thisisabtlgrnd. The Orb create an incredibly dense atmosphere here that makes me feel like I'm lost in a jungle on an alien planet.
