It’s hard to believe that the Orb haven’t used an album title like Prism before. Aside from the obvious Pink Floyd connections, it’s a perfect way to describe Alex Paterson’s multi-faceted approach to the sound of the legendary linchpins of electronic music; a source of light strikes the shape and out shoots a variety of colors, dazzling the eye from every angle. Though some tracks on Prism lean heavily on reggae, the style doesn’t wind up hogging the rainbow of sound that Paterson and Michael Rendall can call forth.
This is one of those Orb releases that pleasantly bides its time, waiting for that rush of inspiration that turns out to be only a parade of pretty neat ideas. For some, that’s the only vital sign they need to suggest that Paterson is alive, well, and creating. Given his track record, a masterpiece that will inevitably dwarf Prism could be just around the corner.
