More Tales From The Observatory (2013)

De samenwerking tussen ambientdubpionier The Orb (Alex Paterson en Thomas Fehlmann) en reggaedub-meester Lee Scratch Perry leverde in 2012 het album "The Observer In The Star House" op. Er was echter zóveel opgenomen dat er met gemak nóg een album gemaakt kon worden. "Recorded at the same sessions that produced last year's "The Observer In The Star House", these tracks offer a similar union of the imaginative and the inspirational, with Perry and The Orb making musical magic from the most minimal of resources. With the balance between cavernous sub-bass and delicate, itchy high-end detail judged perfectly, and the echo delays meshing neatly to create relaxed, striding grooves with restrained synth fireworks, there's plenty of space for Perry's genial, abstract ruminations on various matters. Sometimes, as on Fussball, it's little more than encouragement to 'kick the ball! win the game!'. Elsewhere, more carnally analagous stuff about planting seed in the earth mother." (Andy Gill, The Independent)
