 It's no nightmare! August 13, 2008
Having listened to Adventures beyond the Ultraworld until I knew every note - I wondered if any future album would live up to this benchmark.
There have been some really memorable pieces of work since then which I won't repeat where others have. Until now.....
This album sums up how far The Orb have travelled and for me that is full circle. This album contains rich textures and a warm foot tapping feeling rather than being creative and isolated as with earlier albums. Plenty of rhythmic beats and bass.
Tracks such as High Noon, A beautiful day and The truth is are exceptional. Yes there are plenty of vocals which also work really well.
With the trademark 'less than 30 second' tracks thrown in as well these prepare you nicely for continuity. There are also some excellent samples particulary on The Truth is. Basically this is The Orb at the top of their tree and it don't get much better than this.
Dedicated Orb fans should love it - including those who have only dabbled in their music.
A Beautiful Album July 8, 2008

I love this album and have been playing it to death. I usually re-burn my purchases to cut out the "filler tracks" but this album is all good. Start to finish. Everyone who comes to the house asks what's playing. This album has all that's good about ambient, dub with heavy reggae and world influences. This sounds more like Dreadzone re-mixed by The Orb than the more sci-fi style "Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld" and I assume that's why some people have marked it down as it may not have been what they expected.
 Not bad, not bad: worth a listen. June 6, 2008

On "The Dream" Dr. Paterson et al continue with the sound settled on with 1997's "Orblivion," only in my opinion this is the superior album. It's an easy, dubby ride with some cheery samples, although The Orb seem to have developed quite an indistinct production style after their first few albums, which I'm not fond of.
Despite some misgivings, it's still worth a listen, especially for the fan.
Stunning June 6, 2008
Quite simply, this is The Orb's best album for many years and a stunning return to form...
More sober, beats inspired and infectious than AP's music has been over the last few albums and I absolutely love it. Essential.

What can i say about this album, it easily the best album since UFORB. The Orb are a cool band once more. This is why i originally liked them in the first place.
