The Orb (=Alex Paterson a jeho premenliví spolupracovníci) sú dnes považovaní za zakladateľov ambientného housu a sú nepochybne zodpovední za obrovský boom elektronickej hudby v 90-tych rokoch. História The Orb je dlhým a stále živým príbehom, ktorý začal koncom 80-tych rokov singlom „Loving You / A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules From The Centre Of The Ultraworld“, posudzovaným za vôbec prvý chill-outový klubový track. Nezameniteľná a ťažko popísateľná hudba The Orb umožnila poslucháčom preniknúť do tých najneprebádanejších ambientých končín a zvukových bludísk. Aby ste objavili vesmír, nebolo nutné dívať sa cez hvezdársky ďalekohľad, stačilo si pustiť platne The Orb.
Album „Bicycles And Tricycles“ vychádza na novom britskom nezávislom labeli The Hexus a o jeho distribúciu sa bude starať Cooking Vinyl. Popri Patersonovi sa na nahrávaní podieľali spolupracovníci zo starých čias Simon Phillips, John Roome, Jimmy Cauty plus nové tváre – vokalisti The Corpral a MC Soom-T. „Bicycles And Tricycles“ sa pýši sofistikovaným soundom s prepracovanými detailmi. Je to vyzretá, kompaktná nahrávka, ktorá nepostráda typický humor a nové impulzy. Ako keby sa Paterson & spol. nechali inšpirovať inovatívnymi experimentmi z obdobia platní „Pomme Fritz“ a „Orbvs Terrarvm“, ktoré im priniesli najväčšiu slávu.
