Orbus Terrarum

Orbus Terrarum is the one the press killed on release and the one people defend twenty years later. The Orb went deeper and murkier than U.F.Orb, less immediate and more demanding, and time has been far kinder to it than the reviews were. It ranks at a hundred and thirty-one because it's genuinely their most difficult record, slower and stranger than the hits, but the difficulty is the reward, and its reputation has rightly recovered.
