{"product_id":"bicycles-tricycles-1","title":"Bicycles \u0026 Tricycles","description":"Ever since its double album ADVENTURES BEYOND THE ULTRAWORLD defined the \"ambient house\" genre in 1991, the Orb has had a serious legacy to uphold. U.F.ORB and LIVE 93 helped maintain that legacy, but the Orb struggled at times to keep pace with younger, more cutting-edge IDM acts of the '90s and 2000s. 2004's BICYCLES \u0026amp; TRICYCLES finds the group, masterminded by producer\/mixologist Alex Paterson, with one foot planted firmly on its early innovations (which resemble the offspring of Brian Eno and a sleepy Chicago house DJ) and the other on the pulse of contemporary techniques.\u003cbr\u003e\"Hell's Kitchen,\" for example, features the lilting melody one expects from the Orb's chill-out ethos, but covered with an almost industrial beat. The dub-influenced \"The Land of Green Ginger\" and \"Tower Twenty Three\" give some heady space to the insistent 4\/4 that usually dominates the ensemble's tracks. Elsewhere, the Orb is up to its old tricks of techno-touched ambient with floating vocal samples and synth washes, as on the jazzy \"Gee Strings.\" BICYCLES \u0026amp; TRICYCLES proves the knob-twiddling skills of this early electronica act are still significantly up to snuff.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51163000275231,"sku":"7112974698206","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/5f53e3ea98821838a6c9ee9e9baa7a95_feabcb1c-6214-48b9-a916-2c95ad976367.jpg?v=1777848441","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/bicycles-tricycles-1","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
