Finally found it on this CD and I'm happy with that. but none of the other songs on the CD sound anything like From A Distance, so that's why 3 stars. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Smooth, cool ambient dubfunk *by D***Z on Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2004* Relax -cool ambient dub funk. Nothing over the top -but some interesting and original twists on the formula. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Orb's Latest Phase (third of three) *by K***D on Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2004* I would say that, on a coarse-grained sort of analysis, there have been three main phases so far for the Orb, this latest album belonging to the third of those phases. The first phase began when the artists essentially invented (culling, of course, from earlier influences) ambient techno as it exists today in all of its annoyingly labeled and demarcated forms. In those olden days for electronic music--i.e., the early nineteen-ninties--repetitive beats were the norm, and the Orb came along and produced multiple, complex and "spaced-out" layers in their songs, creating (believe it or not) atmospheric techno, stuff that could actually be enjoyed outside of the dance-hall and appreciated as works of art in their own right.Then came (my personal favorite of the group's changing style) the more experimental and complicated second phase, beginning with Pomme Fritz and ending with the (arguably) unmatched ambient masterpiece Orbvs Terrarvm. Losing the assistance of the former partner Thrash seemed to have a large effect on the group's commitment to less-beat-oriented-and-more-delicate-sound-dedicated approach, as the following LP Orblivion (the beginning what I call here the third phase) marked a return to oldOrb-style techno while keeping the mastery over complicated layering that was their trademark sound by the second phase, not to mention the amusing sampling that made for transitions between tracks. But by this stage, tracks became much shorter (losing the expected, Orb-esque exploration of a musical idea through fifteen minutes of odd samples and atmospheric synths) and by the time this phase reached Cydonia, Paterson et al. began trying on lyrics for size (not the best lyrical work in the world, but the music on its own more than made up for the lyrical slack; besides, there have been worse electronic acts whose attempts at lyrical work have failed far more miserably than in this album (see, e.g., FSOL's The Isness)).Bicycles and Tricycles is an album that has much of the qualities unique to this latter phase, but it also has the feel that it is only a sort of first draft by the Orb's own set precedent. For one, the album lacks much of the complexity that is standard in almost all of their earlier works, with the exception of their first album. Tracks such as "Gee Strings" move on and on without much of the background randomness that is characteristic of similar pieces as "Asylum" or "Ghostdancing." Also, something about the mixing of the album just doesn't feel like a typical Orb album--the proportion of bass and treble is not right on a few tracks ("Prime Evil" seems this way to me, at least). Moreover, much like Cydonia, this album has less an organized, coherent theme as does the earthy, natural Terrarvm or the spacey, alien U.F.Orb. Instead, B&T has the feel of a collection of very separate, small articles the crew had been toying with for some time but had not developed into their own full form, and this leaves the listener with the sense of having been briefly introduced to some set of random thoughts rather than taken through a whole treatise, as was the usual effect of their previous work.All of that aside, there are certainly tracks that make B&T a worthwhile collection. "The Land of Green Ginger" makes a reappearance (originally on the Back to Mine installment), this time with a slight make-over on the narration and a more island-style ending. "Hell's Kitchen" is very unlike any other Orb piece I am familiar with (with the possible exception of "Promis"), but is nevertheless an enjoyable track. The closing "Dilmuin" bears some similarity to the elegant, minimalist Speith piece "You Don't Fool Me," while the two-part "Orb is" & "Now here" (this latter on the Japanese release only) has a clear political theme, which is unusual for this particular group. All in all this album marks a good ending to the third phase for the Orb, and hopefully indicates a return to the beginning of the cycle (the sooner to the second phase, the better). --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/42233323-bicycles-and-tricycles](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/42233323-bicycles-and-tricycles) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
