Review: It's so impressive to see that The Orb have managed to reinvent themselves so many times, over so many years. The legendary UK outfit is now comprised of original founder Alex Paterson and long-time Kompakt member Thomas Fehlmann. The former has been involved in the project since the late 80s, while that latter has been heavily involved in the then-called 'rave' scene from about the same time, so we're talking about true veterans here. They struck up a relationship with the aforementioned Kompakt over recent years, and their latest COW / Chill Out, World! album was a brilliantly constructed work of pure ambient delight. Here, we have an artillery of remixers to inject some beats into the original mixes, starting with Alex Willner aka The Field in what is a classic Kompakt reinterpretation of "9 Elms Over River Eno", followed by Dave DK's own tech-friendly version of "4am Exhale". Veteran Jorg Burger's remix of "5th Dimensions" unleashes a kinetic flow across the sparse planes of the original cut, and minimal techno pioneer Leandro Fresco has his say on "Wireless". It's a Kompakt family affair...

Review: Given that Prins Thomas' paid tribute to ambient house heroes such as The Orb on his brilliant Principe Del Norte album, it's not that surprising to see him reworking Alex Paterson and Thomas Fehlman's recent single, Alpine. We can happily report that he's done a stellar job, with the near 12-minute Diskomiks offering just the right balance between classic Orb (think fluid synth movements, tactile bass and oodles of ambient house atmospherics), and his own loose, percussive, off-kilter Scandolearic disco sound. The full mix is accompanied by an edited, to-the-point version for DJs (amusingly titled 'Simpler Tool For DJ Fools'), and four minutes of beatless, muesli-sporting ambience (the 'Short Yoga Break version'). The latter is, predictably, effortlessly beautiful.
