Turntabling Records, our Chicago-based micro label, has been busy busy. Here’s a sample of the latest project, a little electronica studio band called CUDDLY ANTICHRIST. This video is a short sample of the work being done, soon to be unleashed (inflicted?) on the world in the usual places.
Cuddly Antichrist sounds like what The Orb would have become if Alex Patterson was a habitual shroom eater and Aleister Crowley devotee. Enjoy another feature from the chemical drive-in:
Alex Patterson is a legend, both behind the DJ decks and the synth rack. He’s a force to be reckoned with and a longtime favorite round here at Turntabling. If you’re an Orb fan, chances are you’ve caught Alex Patterson’s DJ sets at one time or another, but if you haven’t, here’s a nice clip of the Doctor at work.
If you aren’t yet plugged into the goodness that is The Orb, we strongly suggest you pick up a copy of The Orb’s Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld and see what you’ve been missing all this time.
Pricey pleasures are the ones you know you SHOULDN’T purchase, but there you are, reaching for your wallet anyway. Today’s winner comes courtest of Eli.com, who at the time this is written have only one single, solitary copy of The Orb’s three-song 12-inch single for A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules From The Centre Of The Ultraworld. This would be the 1990 UK reissue 3-track 12″ vinyl single including Loving You Orbital Mix, Bucket & Spade Mix & Why Is Six Scared Of Seven. Final price for this tasty bit of Orb fun? More than $40 worthless US dollars after shipping.
My, oh, MY! That’s well above ten dollars per song. Granted, it’s an all-time favorite, but this is one instance where common sense seems to be winning out over my vinyl fetish. Besides, for about the same money I can pick up a Joy Division double album set of Martin Hannett’s personal mixes on 180 gram blue vinyl. Mmmmm, tasty.
