Album Description
Available in:
The Orb collaborated with The Orb creating a album that should remind people of what The Orb is
Ambient pioneers The Orb pair up with essentially one more person Paul Conboy. This is just following the release of The Orb's most recent solo project Prism. While that was more dubcentric Yarns From The Chocolate Triangle falls back into the ambient-centrism comforts that I think most casual Orb listeners know and anyone who has previously heard the Paterson and Conboy project Chocolate Hills would also know. Ambient music's negative reputation comes from the critics who call out laziness in the genre and the genre is one of the most guilty of such a criticism. This Bermuda triangle of a record takes peculiar turns, like on Centre Of The Triangle. A lightly tinged Dub song that cuts off abruptly in its groove then goes abrasively abstract. Compass I Fell In Love I can highlight as one more example of something really just strange but intriguing. It's a song that within the lyrical melody sounds like The Sanctus or draws in fluency from old Catholic hymnal music.

A name like the Orb brings more positive reputation than critical, although when I see their name tagged onto new releases or collaborations I am personally skeptical because of how since the latter 90's they managed to release so much space junk. Their bar standard for quality went quite far down. Even into the 2010's. This collaboration (if you can call it that) is detailed, clearly quality controlled. Quite the mish mash of audio samples are the background collage (like with anything that features The Orb) some of which is more affront than it should be to the music. Yarns, crosses of off most of The Orb's the rubric whether that be under their classic name or under the name dubbed Chocolate Hills with Paul Conboy.
