The Orb are an English electronic music group founded in 1988 by Alex Paterson and Jimmy Cauty. Known for their psychedelic sound, the Orb developed a cult following among clubbers “coming down” from drug-induced highs. Their influential 1991 debut album The Orb’s Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld pioneered the UK’s nascent ambient house movement, while its UK chart-topping follow-up U.F.Orb represented the group’s commercial peak.
Orbus Terrarum (stylized as Orbvs Terrarvm) is a studio album by English electronic music group the Orb that was released on 20 March 1995 by Island Records. Member Kris Weston had begun work on the album before leaving the group. After he left, German producer Thomas Fehlmann joined as a full-time studio member, and the group, now consisting of Alex Paterson, Andy Hughes, and Fehlmann, completed the album. Unlike their previous efforts, Orbus Terrarum features more “earthbound”, “organic” sounds in contrast to the psychedelic, science fiction-themed music they had previously written.
