most of the stuff they did is more ambienty/ambient-housey but check "perpetual dawn" (91), "blue room"(92)(with Jah Wobble on bass, at least on 12"), "towers of dub" (92) - doh, just check the first two albums; nevertheless it's difficult today to go say that their music is techno or techno dub; they definitely were (and still are influenced by dub; and definitely don't sound "dub" in similar way as BC does. some of their tracks are more like "traditional" dub and others more 4/4 with heavy bass and some delays and reverbs and stuff. * the orb's adventures beyond the ultraworld 1991 * the orb - u.f. orb 1992 oh and do check "the assassin 12" " by the orb - just for the delay and 4/4 action. very hypnotic track. would fit very well in the end of some BC set. also in somewhat similar style as the orb's there is excellent (then categorized as "soundtrack dub") album "360 degrees" by Dread Zone from 1993 on creation records, not so relevant perhaps when comparing to BC but electronic music/dub mixed together from about the same era. as far as i know they have been really popular in goa/psychedelic scene; nevertheless one of my favourite albums, and their latest album "Sound" is ok too. i haven't heard what they've done in between these two records.. sakke -- random rants and links at: http://www.arabuusimiehet.com/sakke/
