A Look At Prism By The Orb
The Orb is an influential British electronic music group that have been making music since the early 90s. In April of 2023, they released their 17th studio album: Prism. This album is the third in a series of 3 albums in which current members Alex Paterson and Michael Rendall explore a variety of genres both familiar and new. In this video, I will be reviewing the album, giving my thoughts on each song as well as how they fit in the context of The Orb’s wider discography. Keep in mind that everything I say in this video is just my opinion. Also excuse me constantly looking down. It’s a bad habit of mine.
