THE ORB - Orboretum: The Orb Collection THE ORB

4LP - Limited Edition Quadruple Coloured Vinyl (Green, Lilac, Orange and Blue) octagonal set including new and rare mixes, compiled by Dr. Alex Paterson.

A career-spanning set including new and rare mixes, compiled by Dr. Alex Paterson.

Orboretum: The Orb Collection goes way back, but also focusses on recent highlights from albums such as Abolition Of The Royal Familia (2020) and Prism (2023) – which were cited by the media as some of their greatest work – up there with the bonafide gold of yesteryear.

4LP - Uniquely packaged in a beautiful octagon-shaped set, which folds out into a huge flower. Each disc is pressed on a different colour, green, lilac, orange and blue, with sleeve notes by Kris Needs. Each side of vinyl is grouped by Alex to represent the 4 seasons, hence its botanical title. The comp’s “roots and more recent shoots” traverses their work for Universal across discs A and B, whilst discs C and D explore their music for indie labels Cooking Vinyl, Kompakt, Malicious Damage, and Liquid Sound Design.
