Looks like The Orb’s co-founder, Alex Paterson (pictured above, front and center), has been quite busy lately. A while back, the classic mixtape he made alongside Thomas Fehlmann for Coldcut’s radio show back in 1991 was reintroduced to the world, and more recently, Paterson joined forces with Martin Glover (a.k.a. Youth) and Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour on the forthcoming Metallic Spheres album. Now, Paterson and Glover will revisit the days of late-’80s acid-house with a lengthy compilation telling the story of their WAU! Mr. Modo label. Entitled The Orb & Youth Present: Impossible Oddities, the release features classics and rarities from the likes of Insync, Mystic Knights, Indica Allstars, Readymade, Eternity, Uncle 22, and, of course, The Orb. The mix album will packaged along with artwork by The KLF’s Jimmy Cauty, a poster made up of music press cuttings from the ’80s and ’90s, and a bonus third disc featuring a DJ mix of WAU! Mr. Modo tracks by The Orb. You can check out the cover and tracklist before Impossible Oddities is released on November 9.
