The Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld
Ultraworld is the debut studio album by the English electronic music group the Orb, released as a double album on 2 April 1991 by Big Life. It is a segued, progressive record evoking a psychedelic trip which draws from various genres (including ambient, house, dub reggae, and hip hop) and incorporates a huge number of samples and sound effects.
In a contemporary review, NME critic Sherman called The Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld "an album sounding like Pink Floyd without all the self-indulgent solos", concluding, "Reality is inside a pair of headphones overflowing with the Orb. Life will never be the same again. The flotation tank beckons." Select's Russell Brown wrote that "long and strange as it is, Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld is without doubt a good trip."
