" Back to Mine " is a series of discs that have allowed club-oriented artists like Nick Warren, Everything But the Girl, and Faithless to put together their own versions of a mix-tape compilation. The Orb’s set is a fine addition to the project. It stirs together breakbeat techno tracks like Aphex Twin’s " Polynominal-C, " ambient jazz experiments like Charles Webster’s " Be No One, " downtempo electroclash tunes like Juno Reactor’s " Nitrogen Pt. 1, " and old-school soul numbers like the Chi-Lites’ " Have You Seen Her? " , creating a flowing mix designed for after-hours chill-downs. The Orb’s main man, Alex Paterson, doesn’t forget to include one of his own spaced-out tracks, " The Land of Green Ginger, " on a disc that finds a common ground for numbers as divergent as Julee Cruise’s breathy " Falling " (better known as the theme from Twin Peaks), Thomas Fehlmann’s quirky " I Wanna Be a Fishy, " and Schneider TM vs. Kpt. Michi. Gan’s percolating " The Light 3000. " Paterson certainly doesn’t take the easy way out, but the breadth of his ambitious Back to Mine mix is an accurate reflection of the range of influences that have gone into making the Orb one of electronica’s most groundbreaking sonic laboratories.
