The Orb - BBC Sessions

Customer reviews
Press release

Fantastic 2CD retrospective from the Kings of Ambient. Digitally remastered BBC In Session tracks hand picked by Alex Patterson with sleeve notes containing Alex’s recollections of his time in the BBC’s studios.

Featuring alternate versions of 4 chart singles and the Peel Session recording of the massive underground hit A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules From the Centre of the Ultraworld. This track is the most requested Peel Session track of all time and was number 10 in Peel’s own Festive 50 chart.

Also contains some rarities including a full blown rock out version of No Fun by The Stooges. Next time you invite some friends back after the pub, bet them a fiver they can’t name the band and then whack this one on. Quids in every time.
