Long-running UK electronic group, originally formed by [[artist:Jimmy Cauty]] (of [[artist:3178]]) and [[artist:Alex Paterson]] in 1988, that grew out of a love of ambient music and dub, soundscapes and science fiction. Due to the early work in this style, The Orb became pioneers of the early-90's-born "ambient house" genre. The group's lineup has shifted over the years, with Alex being the only consistent member. Notable members include [[artist:Thrash]] and [[artist:Thomas Fehlmann]]. Though he was never officially a member, [[artist:Youth]] (a.k.a. [[artist:Martin Glover]]) was instrumental throughout the group's existence, and co-owned the label [[label:WAU! Mr. Modo Recordings]] with Alex (they had known each other since they were young, and Alex was a roadie for the group [[artist:Killing Joke]], in which Youth played bass).
