The Orb — Adventures Beyond The Underworld

ElectronicAmbient
Written By Akhil Srivatsan

A classic of ambient house and electronica, it feels like floating through space with headphones on — tuned to the frequency of some alien radio station playing music from their home planet that mimics music inspired by human electronic music.

It’s a two-hour-long concept album, so, in my view, best experienced at night, with the headphones on, bathed in the blue light from an idle television screen. Honestly it also works just as well in the middle of an afternoon after a Zoom call in a makeshift cubicle.

Check it out on Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube.

Post-punk has made a strong resurgence of late. On some other occasion, I’ll list out some of the great post-punk records from the last few years here so I can better commit them to memory: Squid’s Bright Green World and the song Houseplants, Wet Leg’s self-titled records, Dry Cleaning’s New Long Leg and particularly the album opener Scratchcard Lanyard, others.

Nourished by Time’s Erotic Probiotic 2 is – far and away – my favourite record made in 2023. I love its simplicity, a feature it shares with Sleaford Mods’ UK GRIM, another favourite from 2023. However, it shares its vocabulary with synth-based R&B unlike UK GRIM’s post-punk.

In this piece, I navigate the intricate soundscapes of Pinegrove's Audiotree performance, set against the backdrop of the bustling city and its ubiquitous cafes. My exploration of indie studio sounds, alongside an introspective study of key indie bands, unravels a tale of life, hope, rejection, and the unending rhythm of the urban existence.
