Luscious! That’s how I’ve always felt about this one. “Towers of Dub” and “Blue Room” on one album? That’s worth eleventy million dollars to me. The Orb tied together weird UK rave culture with Jamaican dub (and went on to work with Lee Scratch Perry) on this album. The whole nexus of physical vs. mental really sits inside this music. It works as a cooldown soundtrack but also as a spur to an active kind of meditation. A stone classic, quiet but fully electrified.
