The Orb ‎– Bicycles & Tricycles. Label: Cooking Vinyl ‎– COOKCD298, Cooking Vinyl ‎– COOKCD 298. Format: CD, Album, Slipcase. Track 12: Recorded & remixed at Lab from 'Kompassion' EP on Kompakt. 2004 The Orb exclusively licenced to The Hexus/Cooking Vinyl.

In many ways, it's an album with a paradox: one side being permanently entrenched in the . scene of the early '90s and the other struggling to break free of its past toward a more progressive future (a glimpse of that can be found in the shuffle-heavy remix of "From a Distance"). It's not as captivating a listen as the output from their classic years (although diehards will welcome their return with open arms); and by using that barometer, Bicycles & Tricycles is a bit of a letdown, especially after a three-year absence.

The Orb - Bicycles & Tricycles When it comes to veteran producers in the Electronic music scene, they don’t come much bigger then The Orb. The Orb have been at it since the late 1980’s, where they exploded onto the scene with a beautiful piece of electronic ambience with ‘A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules From The Centre Of The Ultraworld’, a track that was much more then an exhaustingly long title. The album starts quite nicely with the very groovy Orb Is, a journey of broken beats and deep gritty baselines. Land of Green Ginger is also an early highlight in the album, again with smooth baselines chugging along nicely, combined with a fantastic array of sounds and effects.

With Bicycles & Tricycles he extends his parameters even further. From a Distance", featuring vocals from the Corporal and a sample of Grace Jones's "Slave to the Rhythm" pulses and stomps like an electro glitter band. The dark, dubby "Prime Evil", with its creepy laughter, dramatic climax and a portentous, Lovecraftian narration courtesy of Neville Jason, has an impressive Italian horror-movie feel, while "Kompania" has you thinking of Pink Floyd jamming with a crazed campanologist in deep space. I'm sure Orb fans were surprised by this album as it treads new sonic territory, the second track has an MC rapping! Even more surprising, it works. The variation does not end there, whilst the trademark Orb characteristics are present their style has expanded, stronger techno elements and lovely bass massaging dub.

Bicycles & Tricycles is the sixth studio album from The Orb. It brought together The Orb's style of the early 1990s with current electronic music to mixed reactions. The Daily Telegraph praised Bicycles & Tricycles as being "inclusive, exploratory, and an enjoyable journey"; however, many other publications dismissed it as "stoner dub" and largely irrelevant to current electronic music culture.
