It\u2019s now twelve years since the Orb sent us the catchily titled \u2018A Huge Ever-Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules From The Centre of The Ultraworld\u2019. Out of the Acid House ether it came stroking our fuzzy little heads with its spaced out sequences and ethereal atmospherics. What the hell was this? Who\u2019s lost the beats? Whadda\u2026<\/p>\n

Here was a band that brought us our aural blankets when we piled round someone\u2019s house after a nights furious footwork, wrapping us up in little fluffy clouds and perpetual dawns, leading us through blue rooms, towers of dub-b and infinite sunrises.
\nThe ultimate chill out band? Who else? But there\u2019s much more to The Orb than that\u2026<\/p>\n

The Orb was born out of a good quantity of Sunday afternoon sessions when Alex Paterson and Jimmy Cauty (later to take on the world under the KLF banner) would mess around with old analogue equipment at Jimmy\u2019s Trancentral studio. With Alex working in the A&R department of Brian Eno\u2019s EG records, an already healthy interest in ambient atmospherics and off-kilter rhythms was being fuelled. At the same time some boffin invents Acid House.<\/p>\n<\/div>","excerpt":"","slug":"the-orb-the-metro","image":false,"all_day":false,"start_date":"2015-09-27 20:00:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2015","month":"09","day":"27","hour":"20","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2015-09-27 23:00:00","end_date_details":{"year":"2015","month":"09","day":"27","hour":"23","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":"2015-09-28 01:00:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2015","month":"09","day":"28","hour":"01","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2015-09-28 04:00:00","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2015","month":"09","day":"28","hour":"04","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"America\/Chicago","timezone_abbr":"CST","cost":"","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"","currency_code":"","currency_position":"prefix","values":[]},"website":"","show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[],"tags":[],"venue":{"id":2438,"author":"3","status":"publish","date":"2015-06-09 20:48:01","date_utc":"2015-06-10 01:48:01","modified":"2017-01-19 10:43:27","modified_utc":"2017-01-19 16:43:27","url":"http:\/\/beintheloopchicago.com\/?tribe_venue=metro","venue":"Metro","slug":"metro","json_ld":{"@type":"Place","name":"Metro","description":"","url":"","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress"},"telephone":"","sameAs":""},"show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"global_id":"beintheloopchicago.com?id=2438","global_id_lineage":["beintheloopchicago.com?id=2438"]},"organizer":[],"custom_fields":[],"json_ld":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Event","name":"The Orb @ The Metro","description":"<p>THE ORB $21 Adv. - $25 Day Of \/\/ Doors: 8PM \/ Show: 9PM \/\/ 18+ It\u2019s now twelve years since the Orb sent us the catchily titled \u2018A Huge […]<\/p>\\n","url":"http:\/\/beintheloopchicago.com\/?tribe_events=the-orb-the-metro","eventAttendanceMode":"https:\/\/schema.org\/OfflineEventAttendanceMode","eventStatus":"https:\/\/schema.org\/EventScheduled","startDate":"2015-09-27T20:00:00-05:00","endDate":"2015-09-27T23:00:00-05:00","location":{"@type":"Place","name":"Metro","description":"","url":"","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress"},"telephone":"","sameAs":""},"performer":"Organization"}}
