Limited edition boxset (a real collectors dream!) containing Standard CD, Instrumental CD. 3 x 7" coloured (green, yellow, black) vinyl singles of Golden Clouds, Soul Man & Ball Of Fire and 2 x 7" Artwork Prints - Original & Individually signed piece of art created by Dr. Alex Paterson

The Orb team up with the great Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry for some psychedelic dub.

Scratch’s vocals glide distinctively over bass heavy monsters such as ’Soulman’ and ’Man On The Moon’, the most overt Orb-dub behemoth on the set, while ’Don’t Rush’ takes the ridim form then dismantles it in subterranean sonic catacombs. House grooves inflect ’House Of The Orb’ and ‘Ashes’ while a funky slide bass-line percolates under ’Thirsty’. ’Hold Me Upsetter’ sparkles with lovely bass-string interplay, while ’Congo’ brings in rolling banks of African percussion, many of the tracks beat with the subliminal rasta heartbeat. Both parties rework one of their classics; ‘Police And Thieves’, the track which Perry produced for Junior Murvin in 1976, is turned into a bass- heavy vocal vehicle for the reggae veteran, while The Orb’s ‘Little Fluffy Clouds’ is reshaped as the hallucinogenic dancehall clatter of ‘Golden Clouds’.
