Ambient/Drone
The Orb's 2016 set, C.O.W (Chill Out World) was almost universally acclaimed as a sofa-friendly return to form; a genuine ambient opus that owed more to Brian Eno than Lee 'Scratch' Perry. It's perhaps fitting, then, that the rework that kicks off this remix 12" - a wonderfully woozy, head-in-the-clouds affair by The Field - has no dancefloor pretensions whatsoever. It's very dubbed-out and hypnotic, of course, with undulating melody lines stretching out over layers of field recordings and barely audible samples. Elsewhere, Dave DK delivers loved-up chord progressions, fizzing synth lines and eccentric house beats, while the Joerg Burger Dschungeloper remix of "5th Dimensions" gets the right balance between rhythmic hypnotism and glistening ambient bliss.
