English electronic music group led by Alex Paterson, formed in the late 1980s and recognised as pioneers of ambient house and chill-out.

Founded by Alex Paterson with early collaboration from Jimmy Cauty and later contributions from Kris Weston (Thrash). U.F.Orb reached No.1 on the UK charts. Notable tracks/albums discussed in reviews include "Little Fluffy Clouds", The Orb's Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld and Pomme Fritz.

Reviews emphasise The Orb as pioneers of ambient house and chill-out, led by Alex Paterson. Landmark albums discussed include The Orb's Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld and U.F.Orb (UK No.1). Later releases like Pomme Fritz and Oxbow Lakes draw mixed responses for experimentation and accessibility.

For:Listeners of ambient, chill-out and electronic music; followers of 90s rave and experimental electronic scenes.

 "U.F.Orb" is thus a masterpiece both from a sociological and musical point of view: because it reflects the times in which it was born, and for the innovative use of electronics that goes beyond the practical purpose for which chill out music was created.

 Pomme Fritz could be defined as a bizarre, experimental painting, containing a kaleidoscope not of colors, but of samples and voices.
