On September 10th The Orb will play a small, intimate show at Arch 635 in London. Here, they’ll be playing their new album, Baghdad Batteries plus, if you’re lucky, some old faves.
The evening will feature 8 projectors, two large screens plus the entire audience will become a human screen. On entry each ticketholder will be given an exclusive, numbered white overall onto which a visual spectacle will be projected.
Tickets are limited to 250 so early booking is strongly advised and they’re a bargain £10.00. Get them from www.maliciousdamage.biz / www.the-situation.co.uk
As for the new album, it’ll be released next month via Malicious Damage Records. The title comes from a major archaeological find discovered in a village near Baghdad in 1936 dating back around 2,000 years to the Mesopotamian Parthian period, and thought to be the world’s first primitive battery . The album is actually the third volume in the Malicious Damage ongoing Orbsessions series, but whereas the previous two were compiled from nuggets trawled from the vaults, these are new tracks recorded at Thomas’ Berlin studio, which also provide the soundtrack for Austrian director Werner Boote’s film Plastic Planet.
