The Orb will be releasing their 17th complete album “Baghdad Batteries” this September. The album will be the third in the “Orbsessions” series for the UK imprint Malicious Damage.
The Orb’s last two LPs in the series were made up of old tracks and undiscovered gems, yet “Baghdad Batteries” is made up of all new material.
The album was recorded at the Berlin studio of electronic maestro and long time contributor Thomas Fehlman, with the title inspired by the archaeological find of the world’s first primitive battery, thought to be over 2,000 years old.
2009 has proven to be a very tough year for The Orb, after long time member Andy Hughes passed away at the age of 43.
Baghdad Batteries will be released on September 7th through Malicious Damage.
