Release Notes:
In 1994 The Orb and Robert Fripp formed a kind of
"ambient supergroup" under the name FFWD and
released a self-titled album, an amazingly rich and
dense ambient electronic album, appealing to fans
of both Orb and Fripp.
The year before they had recorded a sort of demo,
and this is that session, titled "Orbert".
FFWD stands for Robert (F)ripp, Thomas (F)ehlmann,
Kris (W)eston aka Thrash, and "(D)octor" Alex
Paterson.
I bought this album off eBay, and the seller wrote:
---
"This is the delicious ambient journey that is
'Orbert' .... a mix from which grew the famed FFWD
sessions...very organic, very trippy...crystal
clear digital audio....this mix is 51 minutes long
and is an epic ambient affair...almost
beatless....gorgeous, soothing stuff...should
appeal to ambient gurus, hippies, stoners, Pink
Floyd light fantastic trippers and of course The
Orb.....totally chill. Top quality audio sourced
from the original DAT tape."
(The average bitrate is low because there are many
quiet moments that don't use up so much bandwidth.)
