“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams....
And suddenly I'm back, lying on the roof of my mate's car, staring up at a summer night's sky, The Blue Room blasting out from the speakers and we're tripping our nuts off! Can't believe that was 30 years ago!!
@@yeahyeahyeahyeahwhatever.. Yeah UFORB is an awesome experience.... I think though my 1st experience of Journeys through the Ultraworld will be hard to match though .. Really good acid and location.. It changed my life as it helped expand my mind. I actually bought this on vinyl and still have it...
Who says that? No one who’s opinion matters. It’s an ambient track, from the rave generation, prob could have made it 2 days long at it would still be epic. 40 mins is the blink of an eye on a pre party comedown
Yes Yes. I haven't listened to the full version of this since high school. There was this one odd Welsh kid, our English exchange student, who somehow managed to keep getting the best albums despite being on the US side of the Atlantic. His mates would go get all the latest hits, put them in a crate and send them over as a "gift package." We were all listening to Underworld, The Orb, Mr. Oizo, stuff like that despite being 3500 miles away from london.
This was my coming of age album....so many expanded memories and nocturnal adventures all over the UK as the 90´s took off. Youth really is a wonderful thing.
Listened to this for 9hrs repeat on first LSD experience. Mainly because we couldn’t figure out how to change it. And it just sounded right. Burned some neural pathways that day and this tune truly takes me back.
Not my first experience with the Orb or ambient (at the time, I already had the first album and Orbvs Terrarvm), but perhaps the greatest experience I had with the Orb was when I heard Blue Room out on the playa at the Black Rock Desert in 1996. I'm not sure which mix of the track it was, but this was back when Burning Man was still MILES OUT in the middle of the desert (sorry if you got on board after '96, you're no less cool but you did pay more to attend, only to be just a few miles from town - instead of closer to 15 - and it was much like being out on the moon). Anyway, even further from civilization yet was "Rave camp" - which was another mile further out - perched between the Jackson Mountains and whatever the range to the West was called. It was in the morning (after having been up all night on mushrooms) and I wandered over to rave camp and the DJ was playing Blue Room to an audience of ME. And I will never forget what it was like to experience the ambience of this track as (I could swear) I could hear the BASS bouncing off the nearest mountain to our West. It was the most incredible echo/acoustic effect, like something that couldn't be recreated in a club or studio. It needed this massive cathedral of desert floor and mountains to create it. At first, I stood between the speakers that had been set up but then I walked towards that one mountain because of the echo that was created. It gave the music such dimension and scale. It was something I never experienced before or since.
If you see this, amazing. I had a similar experience at a free party in deepest england (stratford) we'd been driving around country roads for what seemed like hours when i saw in a field a sheep stood on top of a mini cooper and said "its there!" We let ourselves into the field and followed the tire tracks. Couldnt hear any music but was sure that we were there. Thru another field and we found rows and rows of parked cars. Still couldn't hear the music but knew we were in the right place. Ditched the car dropped a load of things and set off.... As we rounded a fold in the landscape we could suddenly hear the beautiful bass and see the steam rising off of the dancers. The speakers were set out in a semi circle in a natural ampitheatre so that almost all of the sound was snuggled into the dancers. We joined in and raved like mad for hours. I eventually took a break and climbed up the slope to join the peeps sitting, chilling and watching the show, rolled a j and suddenly thought 'oh, the treble has dropped out. I stumbled down the slope to tell the sound guy and he checked and said "yes, the treble has dropped out, cheers mate". .he plugged it back in just as a remix of prodigy's fiirestarter dropped. The combination of the wicked mix and the treble suddenly coming back on had an electric effect....all the peeps who'd been chilling on the slopes just jumped up and stormed back into the dance as of they had puppet strings or else had been electrified. Happy memory.
Had this full version on a tape as it was released as a single on tape back in 92. Used to play in my Vauxhall Carlton Estate when driving all over the place. Great times.
I used to have this on white label press pre-release, I went to see The Orb for the umpteenth time at one of their Brixton Academy all-nighters, the next day I came home to be greeted by a mate holding the record, it was like fucking Christmas - only better.
I actually feel sorry that you don't know where to find the gems anymore. There's always more amazing music to discover. Buried somewhere beneath the pile of trash and it's been that way in every decade.
@@paulelderson934 I kind of suspect there is a lot of good music nowadays but I am really missing most of it, apart from a few Brazilian gems due to me living in Brazil :) I had a lot of struggles in the early 90s and the raving and this music helped a lot.
when i was a mollusc we used to enjoy the sun and imagine this as the soundtrack to our evolution into birds, little did we know our wings were already in full flight. happy days, empty minds, infinite horizons.
tears in my eyes > remembering the best time in my life > the 90's ... berlin loveparade, Tresor-Afterparty, open air raves etc ... KLF, SAAFI Brothers,FSOL...
What a track. Huge shout from America. Britain really does produce some talent. I'm also loving other various UK electronica based acts like Faithless, Burial, Chemical Brothers, Underworld, Unkle, Autectre, Massive Attack, Orbital, Leftfield, Stereo Mcs, The Streets, Goldie, The Bug, Allflaws
Genius music and genius marketing because who among us doesn't regularly consume 40 minute singles. I'm sure all the other record companies were thinking money not music. Could you imagine a 40 minute freakin Macarena? Nope, only a handful of truly creative electronic musicians & producers like these guys and FSOL could pull off that feat with flying colors.
@@win32Shelestov Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini Imagine 40 mins of that shit whilst you trippin!!!!!!!!! thats a trip to the asylum right there.
It wasn't created as a track..... It was created as a journey... Way ahead of its time.. I remember DJ /producers such as Laurent Garnier creating Mixes which he said were not to be listened to by selecting specific tracks, but as a complete experience and journey. Even such that you couldn't select individual tracks on the CD's..
Me and two mates went to see the Orb in the Barras, Glasgow, maybe about '95? There abouts. I think they played this? 25 years later, it's still stunning! Happy days!!!
Zwerker mushrooms from 2001 called and asked how I’m doing lately. It’s like they can read my mind and they know I’m not doing so good these days compared to the shrooming in the forest days with orb but I should say nights.
I bought the track on CD, then burned it into a player. Bollocks to Streaming sites, they fill their spaces with turds. THIS is NOT a turd, its 40minutes of pure unadulterated joy and sounds just as beautiful as first did nearly 30 years on....
@@matthewellis7002 thanks bud. My brother's pal who used to live up here in Norfolk, before moving to London to DJ, did me a recording of this from his vinyl version
Ironically Kris Weston was the one who reported my original upload of this to CZcams, which gave me a copyright strike and demonetised my channel. :) But it's OK, I think he was on a rampage to remove all of his work online, since he gets so little money for it. Understandable.
@@PerChristianFrankplads yeah you can understand his frustration.. Thanks for the interesting facts.. I was a great fan of System 7 many years ago. Like 25years ago.. I used to have quite a few cassettes I'd play after the raves when we all came back home to chill.. Not everyone appreciated it as I did lol..
How to turn Sparky’s Magic Piano into a psychological method of torture. The only song I’ve ever played where my housemates were screaming “Switch that off it’s breaking my head” Altho this was a Sunday morning after a particularly messy night 😂
I was referring more or less on quantity basis. Future single releases often had the shorter 7-minute combined with others. I'm sure it's been more available around in the UK, but it has never been available in the US, where I am from. Which is a big shame. After having this on my list for a long while, I prefer this over the other two shorter ones.
@@interesting_output Original release of the full 40 minutes was on the first American edition CD in 1992 on Mercury which had a bonus disc .. also came out in America on the stand alone Blue Room CD EP in 1992 which is the same as the bonus disc .. not reissued in any way since 1994 it's not even on the deluxe 20th anniversary edition of U.F.Orb so it's fair to say it is rare.
@@truefunksoul8638 Wow thank you for this extra information. Unfortunately by the time I had access to The Orb, the later reissues (with the shorter durations) were in circulation. So I never got to experience the full track.
I was listening to David Icke and just as I clicked this tune, He said mushroom at that exact point, Great haul today too, The Universe can be wonderful
Brings back so many good memories for me, happy times with the people I loved the most, had this on cassette but it got stolen when we got burgled back in 1999, it was in my cassette player, pissed me right off, wasn't that bothered about the cassette player, just the tape...Bast**ds
The local student radio here in Bergen played this back in 1992. They claimed they set a world record for the longest single ever played on radio. They played all 39:57 of it.
Spliced a cassette with this version filling both sides, back in the day, gazing at the cityscape of Manchester Uk, from 13 floor of a high rise, nuff acid.
Its 1998 and I'm driving with friends to Gotham City party at TWILO NYC. This is playing right before we get there in the car. Till this day...best sound system I ever heard and it was the last real RAVE of my sorta generation.

The band didn't do an ancore,one member of the band came back on stage and said " fuck off back to your tents ",it didn't go down well.We started chucking bottles and shit at the stage,booing and calling them wankers,what a fucking night,never forget it. !!
First time i ever launched on E at a friend's house after a ten years break from all that sort of thing listening to this and leftfield fatboy slim seem to remember chewing some cardboard as well. A life changing event where has the time gone and them time's
Play this version in combination with the 1985 release of Chronos by Ron Fricke. It's been remastered for blu-ray. Both approximately 40 mins. Start Blue Room when you see "CHRONOS" fade in. Enjoy!
If you want to know why this track is 39.57 long, its because UK singles had to be under 40 minutes to enter the UK singles charts, so they thought they would release the longest track they could. It got to number 8 in the charts.
i remember dancing to this at raves in montreal in the mid 90's in abandoned warehouses and factories, most of which have been demolished, burned down for insurance $, or gentrified. it was also one of my favourite pieces of music to fall asleep to, along with Miles Davis's Quintet album, the soundtrack for "L'Ascenceur pour L'Echafaud". (Lifts to the Gallows) (czcams.com/video/Wc4tT-55ZzI/video.html)
Can remember lying back on my bed one night, listening to John Peel, and he played this...WOW...just WOW...

The band didn't do an ancore,one member of the band came back on stage and said " fuck off back to your tents ",it didn't go down well.We started chucking bottles and shit at the stage,booing and calling them wankers,what a fucking night,never forget it. !!
Back way back in d dayz. Good tymes 2gether.

YT 5, SPOTIFY 0 😁👍
I bought this album because it was blue not realizing the 55 minute mix was there......
grabs you by the lapel and leads you back to the dancefloor for one more cheeky half and a bit of a dance.
Play this version in combination with the 1985 release of Chronos by Ron Fricke. It's been remastered for blu-ray. Both approximately 40 mins. Start Blue Room when you see "CHRONOS" fade in. Enjoy!
Don't forget a few cold beers
Always a good addition.
Very nice, thank you for uploading this :D
Dude you are spot on triping on the libertys at the moment blessed be sky walker
Sky larking we are the living stones god sleeps in minerals your face is a flynt
i loved seeing the orb in the marlin room in new york city beautiful night.
If you want to know why this track is 39.57 long, its because UK singles had to be under 40 minutes to enter the UK singles charts, so they thought they would release the longest track they could. It got to number 8 in the charts.
Not exactly. the BPI consider a "single" to be an "album" if its 40 minutes or longer. (British Phonographic Industry)
Describe the time. This song. 40 minutes i don't regret.
Timeless…
Steve Hillage's bass! Man that's some serious playing.
super

Hang on a second. This track is 39'59". Wonderful stuff.

Love the image. Thanks for uploading this
i remember dancing to this at raves in montreal in the mid 90's in abandoned warehouses and factories, most of which have been demolished, burned down for insurance $, or gentrified. it was also one of my favourite pieces of music to fall asleep to, along with Miles Davis's Quintet album, the soundtrack for "L'Ascenceur pour L'Echafaud". (Lifts to the Gallows) (czcams.com/video/Wc4tT-55ZzI/video.html)
