+ t8 j! {1 d) E- }/ A  d, |5 eThe Orb乐队第七张专辑《Orbus Terrarum》，是乐队相对比较成熟的作品，组成于89年的英国电子组合The Orb，可说是Ambient House的鼻祖。乐队成员曾经包括Killing Joke的Youth和KLF的Jimi Cauty，但到了现在，其实就只剩下Alex Paterson一人。The Orb以混音着名，由Dave Stewart到Primal Scream，再由Depeche Mode到Yello都找过他们协助混音工作。
The Orb的音乐在结构上比较恢弘、大气，这很大程度上是由于他们早期受Pink Floyd、Brian Eno和Tangerine Dream 的影响较重。深厚的Ambient功底，使他们的音乐更加突出了意境而不是技术，为机械的电子乐赋予了无尽的想象力。这种音乐更具可听性，而不是更适于跳舞，人声经循环采样处理，通常只提供一个主旋律而不配唱。

+ t* D9 y6 {+ }, X2 N* tThe Orb virtually invented the electronic genre known as ambient house, resurrecting slower, more soulful rhythms and providing a soundtrack for early-morning ravers once the clubs closed their doors. The group popularized the genre as well, by appearing on the British chart show Top of the Pops and hitting number one in the U.K. with the 1992 album U.F.Orb. Frontman Dr. Alex Patersons formula was quite simple: he slowed down the rhythms of classic Chicago house and added synthwork and effects inspired by 70s ambient pioneers Brian Eno and Tangerine Dream. To make the whole a bit more listenable — as opposed to danceable — obscure vocal samples were looped, usually providing a theme for tracks which lacked singing.
Paterson had worked as a roadie for Killing Joke during the 80s, and began to be influenced by the explosion of Chicago house music in England during the mid- to late 80s. He joined the A&R department of EG Records — the home of Brian Eno himself — and first recorded as the Orb with Jimi Cauty (who had played in the Killing Joke side project Brilliant and later gained fame as one half of the KLF). The duos first release as the Orb, a failed acid house anthem named Tripping on Sunshine, appeared on the 1988 compilation album Eternity Project One. In May 1989, the Orb released the Kiss EP, a four-tracker dedicated to — and heavily sampled from — New Yorks KISS-FM. Paterson had begun to DJ in London around this time, and Paul Oakenfold recruited him to man Land of Oz, the chill-out room at his club Heaven.
