Notes

A Big Life Pictures production.

Soundtrack recorded live at Brixton Fridge Sunday May 12th then digitally remixed by Orb April 1992.

"...this video of The Orb is an adventure of textures and patterns in a visual form. The Orb begin their journey with Little Fluffy Clouds and Earth (Gaia) in orbit, and from there follow the ascent to the Towers Of Dub to experience the Perpetual Dawn. Meanwhile Star 6 & 789 slowly disappears onto the horizon bringing them to the final leg of their adventure. The Orb find themselves at the Outlands near the edge of the gig, only to discover they cannot find the missing brain which has been 'nicked' by aardvark..."Orb be in u, Orb be out u".

Woah! how come no-one has commented on this classic video!? This really captures the spirit of 1992; whether you were around the world in Thailand or Ibiza, raving back in the UK, or just chilling at home with all the latest tunes coming out of the scene, this encapsulates everything that was good back then. This was a synthesis of house, techno, dub, breakbeat, new age and who-knows-what-else influences in the music, combined with what was cutting-edge video editing techniques (overlays, mirror images, solarization etc). It might look a bit basic to todays eyes but anyone that was there will be transported back even if they have never seen this before. 1992 really was a year where everything converged and a whole host of new scenes exploded from the acid house/rave scene- and the "lie down and be counted" ambient scene drew in people from all walks of life. The UK was emerging from the Thatcher years and although it saw the coming of progressive house, the birth of jungle from hardcore rave, the morphing of techno back towards its european and US roots, and even the birth of Trance, it was a year where the collective party spirit was perhaps the most important element. And if one video encapsulates it all then maybe this is the one.
