The Orb - Baghdad Batteries

[joethelion]

hmmm....

I just hope it's more in line with "Okie Dokie" than their last album, which I simply just COULD NOT get into whatsoever

it just was too 'silly' for my tastes

but what I don't get... is that it's "the third in the Orbsessions series"
b/c I mean - I thought the whole point of those were to showcase their unreleased stuff (like the FSOL archive series)

and this is supposed to be new material...

In a sense, yes. But, after being tossed about from label to label, they released stuff they had always had & let another label make end$ meet. I think. Maybe.

They're are a right bunch of sods ya know.

Hearing that it's being co-produced by Thomas Fehlmann excites me. Okie Dokie had a couple very interesting moments and Fehlmann's solo work (Honigpumpe) is magnificent. He has also collaborated with Eraldo Bernocchi (Manual) which is worth checking out if you like his sound.
