The The Orb

Two tapes and characters of electronic musicians meet on one record to perform the same track, and the results are quite different: TD provided Towards The Evening Star, the opening track from Goblins Club as base material for a Mandarin Cream Remix by the famous British techno band The Orb.

Children of the Bong actually care about beat as well, but though they fool around with dub touches and some often heavy beats, the feeling is more about sweet float a la the lighter side of the Orb. Indeed, that band is the obvious touchstone for what the Children are doing, but lacking the insane, out-of-nowhere touches which transform the Orb into true experimental monsters of odd…
