Why it's here

Moonbuilding 2703 AD sounds like the Orb remembering that being the Orb is supposed to be fun. The dub bass still sprawls, the tracks still drift for ages and odd little details keep wandering through the mix, but there is no sweaty attempt to recreate 1991. They sound comfortable enough to be weird again. Nothing across its fifty minutes is in any hurry, and the shortest piece still runs nine.
