Album Description

Few artists have created such visionary and influential electronic music as Alex Paterson and his various incarnations of The Orb. The Orb's blissed-out music helped define the emerging ambient-techno/house genres blending natural sounds, spoken-word, dub bass lines and constantly shifting beats with a sense of humor, rolling rhythms and exhilarating samples to revolutionise UK dance clubs and '90s rave culture. Now after the resounding success of the earlier limited edition, Malicious Damage is proud to re-release this glorious first volume of Orb treasures from Alex Paterson's spherical archives. The track "Mummy Don't" has been replaced by "angel 3 dub" Covering fifteen years of conspiracy and collaboration with some of the biggest names in electronic music including Jimmy Cauty, Andy Hughes, Thomas Fehlmann, Nina Walsh, Fil le Gonidec, Vincent McDonald, Guy Pratt, Dom Beken and Aki Omori.

Comes in a Deluxe Foil Blocked Digipack.

4 out of 5 stars Mixed Bag, but that's what it is meant to be!!.......2006-07-18

Since this is a collection of previously unreleased material, by it's very nature it's going to be very hit and miss. There are a handful of amazing songs on here that I'm surprised were left off proper albums, and then some average material. But, for Orb fans, it's great to have all this stuff, so no complaints from me, and I hope they release more volumes! I agree with a previous reviewer that liner notes might have been helpful in order to identify where and when the material was composed and recorded, but as the other reviewer also said, you can sort of tell by listening what 'period' of Orb the track came from. Anyway, essential? No. But for an Orb fanatic or completist, definitely pick it up!!

1 out of 5 stars The Orb hits rock bottom.......2006-05-30

I have been an Orb fan since "Adventures...". The Orb (mostly Alex Patterson) hit a creative peak during Orbvs Terrarvm, and ever since it's been a long steady decline in quality. This collection of odds & ends really provides no liner notes or info, is packaged in a cardboard sleeve & has to the worst Orb cd to date. The songs are as monotonous & unimaginitive as ambient techno can get.

4 out of 5 stars Songs from here and there . . . .......2006-03-21

This album has some great music. Then again there are some other songs, well let's just mention that they were not released on domestic albums for a reason. Don't get me wrong, I like the Orb and they make some great music, but this disc doesn't have the flow as some of the previous discs. If you are a dedicated Orb fan, then you just might like this disc. If you are the casual listener then you might want to look for a different disc.

4 out of 5 stars Treats from The Orb's Archives.......2005-11-04

This album is the first in what will hopefully be a long series of releases of outtakes and unreleased material from the vaults of The Orb. Like all such anthologies, it's uneven and doesn't always hang together as a whole, but hey, it's unreleased Orb music! The highlight for me has to be the very early, Cauty-era "Mummie Don't"--a nice long brew from the same cauldron of samples that spawned the KLF's "3am Eternal" and The Orb's "Adventures...". "Yungle" is an outtake from "Cydonia" that has circulated widely on the internet already. "Sail" is probably the closest thing to a pop song that The Orb have ever done! The rest of the tracks are mostly lightweight, beaty, fun music. None of this is the best of The Orb, but then again that's what that "Best of" album was for: Orb Sessions v. 1 is just simple fun for Orb fans. I do wish there was a little more information about when each piece was done and for what; a diligent Orb scholar can kind of figure it out from the personnel involved, but a little more information would help. The foil-stamped folder package with the cards is a nice touch. Wishlist for "Orbsessions vol. 2": the 60-minute version of "A Huge Ever-Growing, Pulsating Brain...", more Thrash-era material, some of the more mutated live versions of "Plateau", an "official" release of some of those "Chill Out" mixes... there's plenty to hope for.

Album Description

The Jamaican record label, Kariang, linked up to have their artists collaborate on a different kind of album...one which sends a positive message about unity and culture through lyrics, music and sounds. It touches the very roots of the Caribbean heartbeat. Much of the music is African village drum oriented, and the mix is as hard as any dancehall riddim out there. Producer/DJ, Yossi Fine has toured the world spinning as the Ex-centric Sound System, perfecting the songs and sounds of this recording....these songs are the Afro-Riddims. Produced by Yossi Fine @ King Solomon's Yard & Kariang Studies, Jamaica, WI. Features Anthony B, Brezident Brown plus others.

5 out of 5 stars This CD is tons of fun........2005-09-29

I'm with the reviewer from Chicago. My car was broken into and they grabbed 100 of my favorite discs and I actually replaced this one before many of the others... classic mellow dub reggae rules, Scientist, King Tubby, Sly & The Revolutionaries... but sometimes it's necessary to pick up the tempo. I love to crank this disc while driving home after a night out. But yeah, it's good enough that I have actually been willing to pay for it twice! (Also check out 300% Dynamite for more up-tempo dancehall/reggae fun!)

5 out of 5 stars WHAT ?????.......2004-01-27

This CD rocks! I'm not sure what the other two "reviewers" are talking about, but this release nicely fits with the other 4 previous installments. this one may be a bit more dancehall, but what is wrong with that? in fact, I would rate it 10 stars if I could.

2 out of 5 stars What happen with the quality?.......2004-01-22

If you take-off the remix of Thievery Corporation it will be difficult to have a positive opinion of this CD. Maybe you can be hooked if you know the taste of Sola Rosa or the talent of Peter Kruder(producer of one track) but this is not a good dub selection. The other four sessions were better in all the senses.
It's the fist record of Guidance that I do not want to recommend,
well, a black point in the superb catalogue of the label.

1 out of 5 stars Great series, horrible installment.......2004-01-15

Although this is my first review of an Amazon product, I've been shopping here for ~6 years, and have an extensive collection of music.

While that shouldn't convince you that I know what I'm talking about, the fact that I loved the first 4 installments (plus the Roots Combination CD), and grew up rocking out to great dub might help. ...

When the Hi-Fi Dub sessions came out, it was precisely what I had been hoping for in a studio CD for years. As I said, the first 5 CDs from in this series are *great*, especially if you've been looking for that fusion of old school dub and modern downtempo - *perfect* background/lounge/mellow house party music.

However, this CD (hi fi dub 5) is _horrible_ in comparison. It's not at all rootsy, and sounds ridiculously dancehall-ish. I am blown away that they chose to release this on the otherwise great hi-fi dub label. Do yourself a favour...buy the first 5 CDs, and stop there...this was a waste of my money.

5 out of 5 stars Hi-Fidelity Dub Sessions,Vol.3.......2003-01-24

Landmark! Masterpiece! Speechless. This was the highlight of my new music discoveries for years. A friend burned this cd and handed it to me with a grin. I was so impressed I felt obligated to buy an original just to pay my humble dues. If you like dub or reggae and you can only afford one cd for 5 years, buy it.

5 out of 5 stars Contemporary dub that keeps an eye on the past.......2002-03-13

This album is beautiful! Laid-back, blissed-out, head-noddingly beautiful. All the artists involved are set on taking dub into the future but reverently keep one eye on the past glory of Jamaican dub. The album strays into other area's (downtempo, etc.) but it doesn't go too far, just enough to lend a sense of diversity that adds up to one fine, cohesive, whole. There aren't too many compilations that can pull that off.

5 out of 5 stars Brand New Roots.......2002-01-31

If you're wandering aimlessly in search of a record that could recreate the excitement of your cosmopolitan late night excursions, you might want to lend both ears to the third installment of the Hi-Fidelity series. As other compilations in the chill-out genre have by now ran out of steam, recycling the same 5 year old tracks heard everywhere else, Guidance records keeps digging out true musical gems. While "Lounge"(featuring tracks by the Dining Rooms, Thievery Corporation, Soulstance, etc...) plays off as the sexy, groove laden soundtrack for metropolitan cocktail-sipping hipsters, "Dub Session" is a more intimate affair, delivering this time a much
more progressive selection (featuring the works of Cotton Belly, Tosca, Boozoo Bajou, DJ Krushet al...), preserving the deep roots of dub, but thrusting the bass-heavy rhythms forward into the new millennium. Both albums and their predecessors in the series, simply stand out as the best collection of their kind."

4 out of 5 stars dub-e-licious.......2001-12-16

In a race for night life, balmy island breezes, the latest entry in the Hi-Fidelity Dub Sessions stakes crosses the finish a distance first. Not to belittle the 2 previous entries, but they just aren't up to the challenge (believe me, I've got the whole Guidance Recordings family). You get your basic head nodding dub, spiced up with some dancehall, 2-step, downtempo chillout, and grooving vibes. Opening with Cotton Belly - "Tempest Dub" you're well on your way to some kinda' reggae heaven. The menu just gets better. Tack on cuts from Tosca, Bacuuzzi, Boozoo Bajou, Daddy Ous, and DJ Krush. Hip enough to include today's electronic tweakings without a second's thought. The end nicely wrapped with the classic "Ain't No Sunshine" reworked by Stryke. Just desserts served up. Hold that note a little longer? Yes indeed.

5 out of 5 stars Sonah Kromah.......2001-11-30

I think this is an excellent selection for reggae lover like me. I give it a five stars. Track #9 Tout le monde by Daddy Ous is the best. Keep more coming. Thank you sonah.

Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Start with Volume 2.......2002-04-19

The idea of exposing dub to the masses with fresh faces and mixes is a great idea, but Volume 2 of this series is better than this one. Start there, and if you dig it, know that this volume isn't all bad, but doesn't push the envelope anywhere near as much as vol. 2. Mostly for completists of the series or die-hard dub heads. Casual or new listeners? Go see volume 2.

5 out of 5 stars Great Dub Introduction.......2002-01-15

This is a great album that almost anyone can get into, not just fans of the genre or electronic music. I play it all the time at the store I work at, and it's great for setting a mellow mood. I constantly have people ask me what is playing, and if we sell it. I would definetely check it out.. actually, the whole HI-FI series is pretty incredible. Almost everything Guidance Recordings puts out is worth listening to.

4 out of 5 stars A solid dub album.......2001-07-23

This album is good for a few kicks, and it will definitely be staying in my collection. I really wish I could give it 3.5 stars, because while it is a nice, tight dub album, there are a few shortcomings here. Notably, the tech influence is a little edgy on the more rootsy tracks, and being a roots fan I couldn't quite dig it as much as I would like. Not only do Augustus Pablo and Lee Perry blow this out of the water, so do King Tubby, Mad Professor and Sly and Robbie.

The one very high note on this album is the final cut. "Free marijuana"....indeed, brotha, indeed.

5 out of 5 stars Best dub in years.......2000-12-29

W O W ! I've been listening to dub since I was a kid. And I tell you.. This is one of the most serious brainsmashing heavy dub pieces released for years. If you like the samples you will definately like the whole album. Highly Recommended!

5 out of 5 stars Best dub album of the past 20 years.......2000-06-01

This album is, without a doubt, the best reggae dub album to be released since 1980. The only thing this album can be compared to is the great King Tubby, Lee Perry, or Scientist recordings that have been re-released by Blood and Fire or Pressure Sounds. This is the only dub album that captures the feeling of the early dub masters while sounding completely new and original. The only thing I can really say is that if King Tubby were still alive, this is the kind of album he should be making. Dub reggae with crystal clear sound.

4 out of 5 stars Solid offering of dub for the masses.......2002-03-02

This isn't a hardcore old-school set of dub, but it's a great place to start. Tracks put together by some heavy electronic music cats with dub-mindedness, there's more than enough good stuff on here worth your dollar. Some of it isn't as mindful of tradition as I'd have liked, but the takes are fresh, and entertaining all around. A great CD for mood, venues and just hanging out.

5 out of 5 stars Another Amazing title by Guidance Recordings.......2002-01-15

Wow, this one is even better than the 1st! Parts of it distinctly sound like Tosca's Opera, while other parts are more reminiscent of K & D. Overall a very smooth and chillin sound, that definetely keeps me coming back. Great atmospheric music, and good pumped up, too.

5 out of 5 stars High Fidelity indeed..........2002-01-13

Speaking of the genre, this one really hits the spot.
Keeping up the reputation of its predecessor, this CD puts you somewhere on the Caribbean Islands and leaves you to chill out. Being almost impossible to be otherwise when you have Richard Dorfmeister for one of the supervisors of the compilation, this CD basically features only great tracks.
If you like anything from Kruder + Dorfmeister, Tosca, Thievery Corporation, Beanfield, Uptight Sound System or Dual Tone (Paul Hunter), you're bound to like this one to. I personally like the first track best because the ocean, sand, setting sun, seabreeze, seagulls, fresh grilled fish and some good wine afterwards with a decent smoke just pour out of it.
It just gets you in a good mood, that's it!

Caribbean in binary!!!

5 out of 5 stars This is it ! Brainsmashing Future-Primitive Roots.......2001-08-02

I've looked long and hard to find a solid modern dub album or compilation....most are weak or miss the point by being too modern. This album hits the bullseye. Solid heavy mix, lots of brainsmashing echo, enough modern effects to keep it fresh, and solidly connected to the roots ya love....Tubby, Scratch, LKJ, Rockers.

Some stuff is totally connected to the bass, drums, horns old school Rasta roots...a few of the cuts are excellent modern Tosca-stylee.

The new school finally "gets" it...and at least its available through more than just total underground or local channels.

Hit the bid. Raspect. One love.

5 out of 5 stars top notch!.......2001-06-22

this is the most consistent and outstanding modern dub compilation i have ever heard, and i have a pile of them! 10 out of 12 cuts are stand-outs in my opinion. hi-fidelity dub sessions lives up to its name, with excellent sound quality as well as music. i cannot praise this disc too highly. if you own only 3 dub discs, make sure this is one of them! these artists are contemporary, not old jamaicans. don't let that stop you from buying this excellent disc.
