Help a chin do peoples heads in with beautiful, psychedelic and unique music. You know like that stuff you haven’t heard before.
Remember the 90’s? You do? Hah! Old.
Oh wait… that’s me too.
Well, trolling aside, legendary outfit The Orb has had a number of lineups since it was first formed in 1988 by DJ Alex Paterson and one half of the similarly legendary KLF, Jimmy Cauty. For many, though, their seminal period was from 1991 through to 1995, during which the lineup consisted of Paterson and one Kris ‘Thrash’ Weston. Along with a host of other contributing musicians and engineers, they released their epic debut double album, The Orb’s Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld, followed by a sensational crossover into the mainstream with their album chart-topping U.F.Orb. Troubled fame followed, culminating in the giant “fuck you” to the music industry that was Pomme Fritz, and this fruitful and distinctive period ended with the misunderstood and critically dismissed Orbus Terrarum.
Now, after many years of silence, Weston is finally returning to music via what is becoming an increasingly popular outlet: the Kickstarter. Weston’s objective is to help fund the recording and release of a 2CD, 4LP and downloadable album that will be available only to those who back the project.
To get some idea of exactly what The Fuzzy Dimension might sound like, Weston has just published some updates on his Kickstarter page with samples of the kind of raw materials he expects to go into the finished product, including something that sounds like the severed entrails of Jon Brion’s soundtrack for the movie Synecdoche, New York hotwired with a contaminated Neuropolitique record circa Are You Now, Or Have You Ever Been? as it travels through the Ultraworld.
So, if you’re interested in helping prevent an insane, trifle-loving monkey-chin from a confused, slurry-ridden fate as it staggers in slow revolutions towards the crest of the next slag-heap, resulting in the destruction of an alternate dimension and damning ours to nothing but auto-tuned r∓b, why not head over to The Fuzzy Dimension and take a look.
It’s going to be nuts.
