The Orb Announces New Album Featuring Lee Scratch Perry - free download!

Check out, pre-order, and grab a free download from the upcoming new album by Orb featuring the one & only Lee Scratch Perry!

Recorded in Berlin over the last few months, THE ORBSERVER in the star house sparks with a rare magic as Dr. Alex Paterson and long-time Orb member Thomas Fehlmann construct a panorama of perfect, stripped-down backdrops for the Upsetter’s inimitable pronouncements, righteous declarations and sweet vocals. The album's inception can be traced back to 2004 when Dr Paterson played a DJ and toaster set with Lee in Mexico. “I had an amazing time being that close to the great man,” enthuses Dr. Paterson. “I played a dub set, Earl 16 was Greg Dread’s toaster, Mad Professor had his ladies, then there was the legendary Lee Scratch Perry; he’s a genius who expresses the future within the present times of anguish, hope and unity.”
