About
<i>The Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld</i> is less an album than a magical place—like Narnia or Wonderland, but easier to get to (and get lost in). House grooves and hip-hop breaks provide the gently funky underpinning for undulating waves of sound: hazy synths, dub bass, field recordings, and brain-teasing snippets of movie dialogue. The Steve Reich-sampling "Little Fluffy Clouds" is a rave-defining anthem, and the epic closer will have you dreaming in colors you never knew existed.

For the 10-track versions (which is the majority), the track positions are noted by these sections and track number sequence. The track positions in the releases should use the Discogs standard (A1, 1-1 et cetera), but cannot, as the maximum length mentioned on the release exceeds the Discogs maximum (15 positions).
